For those of you who totally ignore my rockin' sidebar content, allow me to introduce you to Joolie, proprietor of Oh, my stars and garters! She's as weird as I am, plus she lives in Austin. COOL.
So why bring Joolie up now? The answer is this post. She and Eric received a Christmas present from their evil landlady last night: a card, a pound of Starbucks coffee and a container of pastries.
But wait...is that the whole story? Is...is that coffee two months expired?
Oh no. No, it's not. In fact, it's not even really Starbucks coffee. NICE.
Recycled Starbucks bags? Filled with Folgers? Scotch-taped shut?
Well played, landlady. Well played. *slow clap*
I wouldn't eat the pastries that came with that coffee!

Ah...the well-played/slow-clap combo is one of my personal favorites.
And the Folgers-in-a-Starbucks-bag plot is unbelievable. So unbelievable, in fact, I'm sure my parents will never see it coming. ;)

Wow, that's bad. That's almost as bad as the time I gave my brother used motor oil in a 2 liter coke bottle.
I ran across your blog surfing the net last night. I like it. Consider yourself blogrolled.

How fiendishly evil of them, playing such a dirty trick. Coffee bags and their contents should not be interchanged. Such is blasphemy.
