starfuckers.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

There are a few in really northern New York, right before you cross the border to Canada... and I believe someone told us the same occurs in northern Michigan.

But yes, for the most part, there is no Tim Horton's in America. Darn it.

Dunkin' Donuts is slowly getting more and more stuff to eat, though, so maybe eventually they'll be just as good. :duncan:

Lewis Black does a hilarious bit about two Starbucks across the street from each other... it's on one of his Comedy Central specials, I believe. Soooooo funny.

I like how no one gave a shit that Josh might have been killed/mugged/raped by some crazy people in the middle of the night in a large city. Instead we debate on Tim Horton's, Starbucks, and Dunkin Donuts.

Well Tim Hortons is owned by Wendy's so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Timmy's moves into more American markets.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Timmy will do Wendy and they will concieve a child named Wemmy.

there are a few intersections like that. on granville and georgia, there's one outside, and directly cross from it is Sears, which has another starbucks inside it. like, 3 years ago, on the other end of the Sears building (facing Robson), there used to be another starbucks, almost kitty corner from the one near Chapters (robson and howe, i believe).

i know no one will understand these directions other than Jen. :lol:

Dat's a lot of Starbucks.

There are definitely multiple ones in very short distances around here, too. I can't give any specific examples, though.

But seriously... you guys really have to check out that Lewis Black bit.

I know where you mean!!
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

no, it died a few years ago. now it's a part of the makeup/perfume section of Sears.
