5 Things I Want You to Know About Starbucks Baristas

Fuck right offThis article is inspired by this article, which is one of many annoying fucking articles about how customers need to act towards their waitresses, baristas (which is Italian for “a person who does the same job as the dumpy cash register girl at McDonald’s”), and other service industry lackeys. These articles are bullshit and only exist so the readers can smugly remind themselves that they could never be so inconsiderate as to act like some déclassé customer and ruin some hipster college dropout’s day. Also, if the title of the article doesn’t piss you off (“A Cup of Kindness: Five Things Baristas Want You to Know“), I don’t know what will.

Anyway, here’s an item-by-item counterpoint:

Vegan Hot Seitan

Success!I don’t eat meat. Or dairy. I don’t because it gives you an elitist edge of snobbery that you just won’t get if you while away your days sucking down 32oz Blizzards at “the DQ”. The one thing I do miss is Prince’s Hot Chicken. If you’ve never been there you should check it out. It’s in a super-questionable neighborhood in a filthy building. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow’s assistant ate there once.

It’s gotten so bad that I’ve started having dreams — nightmare’s really — about it. Every night that I’ve had one too many limoncellos (which is every night), is a night that I inch closer and closer to snapping.

So, using a modified version of this recipe (which is pretty close to Prince’s), I’ve concocted a vegan tribute that is pretty goddamn close, except no disgusting filthy animals with brains the size of a pea had to die for it.

WTF Stock Photography

Nude Seniors. You can't unsee it.Online stock photography collections offer graphic designers an affordable selection of royalty-free images that suit nearly any project (read: billboards for questionable legal advice or bus bench ads for even more questionable medical products).

However, with great selection comes the great possibility of finding truly mind boggling and inappropriate images — images that make you wonder not only what in christ’s name compelled them to take that picture but also what in christ’s name someone would use it for.

Howard Hughes on a Budget

Howard Hughes was a reclusive billionaire who lived unseen for decades by nearly every person who knew or worked for him. He also lived in his own filth while simultaneously issuing insane rambling edicts about hygiene to his mormon staff. Plus he banged more women than Wilt Chamberlain. So there’s three reasons he was awesome. Haven’t you always wished you could be just like him — shrouded in secrecy while waging a never ending furtive war on germs, public perception, and sanity? Well, now you can, except for the whole banging more women than Wilt Chamberlain, because, you know, you’re not a billionaire.

Because of his hermit-like existence, it’s actually surprisingly affordable to affect one of the richest men in history. You’ll find, once you get past the stares, odor, and total lack of sunlight, that the lifestyles of the rich and famous are, firstly, not only reserved for the rich and famous, and, secondly, truly are the only way to live. Just follow this handy guide, and you’ll be on your way to the abyss faster than you can say, “Freemasons run the country.”
