Following in the steps of the elusive Sasquatch, are you, floop?

How much older is the lucky lady?

So are you now ordering the seriously expensive stuff? That's what I do whenever getting something free off a punch-card. Order the cheapo stuff until I earn the free stuff, then take 'em for everything they're worth.

By the way, have you been recognized by any other customers while in line as the famous C.O.W. and approached to sign someone's shirt or anything?

Don't do it! Stick to the coffee and show them that you buy it because it's the best and not because you're cheap. They'll respect you as a coffee drinker.

Now, if it's a hot afternoon and you've had your cups of coffee, you can forgiven for drinking a fufu coffee drink. But, it can't be your base. You've got to have your coffee. But you know this; you're the god-damned customer of week. They chose you because you've got what it takes. Now go out there and pound some Italian roast!

Is this a new euphemism I'm not aware of? Won't floop get banned from the store or arrested for that? Def. not the actions of the C.o.t.W.

you're going to have to get drunk and hang out at the shaky, earth quake-prone, tsunami-ridden beach all weekend just to make it through.

I'm not happy with how we've been left hanging on this. Where are our reports? Is it all that you dreamed it would be? Have other customers started asking you for drink recommendations?

so far i've just been riding the high of being Customer Of The Week. i haven't really had a chance to stop and analyze how it's affected my life overall. i'm sure that will be more clear down the road. when the dust has settled.

one of the guys at the coffee shop said to me "you're stock is going to go way up now, i've seen it happen".. and i joked that i should put my phone # on my picture. thus far i haven't experienced any stock-going-up effects. but i'm sure it's only a matter of time.

maybe i should hang out by my picture wearing the same clothes, so people know who i am


it has been nice getting free coffee

I've only just seen this. This is a pretty significant piece of news, I'm surprised I didn't hear about it in the Saturday supplement of Le Figaro.

You have my undying respect.

Hehe, I think the phone number could have brought mixed results. For every hot lady that called, you'd get 5 pranksters. Could be worth the trade-off I guess.

Don't believe the type!

Oui, bien sûr. J'ai besoin la pratique. Remi dit-moi je doit lire plus. Si tu parles français, tu peux voir pour quoi.
Je ne sais pas qui journal est bien, qui est mal - ils sont tous en français.

J'ai lu que "l'homme du piano" en Angleterre était français. Est-ce que c'est vrai?

Je ne sais pas. Je ne connais pas l'homme de piano. Je connais l'homme de fromage. Il
lit les journaux français, tu sais.

Seulement l'un fois. J'ai voulu acheter Les Inrockuptibles quand j'était là-bas. Mais je n'ai pas été.

Désolé, je connais uniquement la passé composé et le futur proche. C'est tout.

Man, the French know how to make a good coffee, I'll tell you that. Do you think if I petition hard enough I can get a pause cafè when the smokers go for their break?

Si tu cherches un bon journal, achète Le Monde.
Si tu cherches un journal de gauche, achète Libération.
Si tu cherches un journal de droite, achète Le Figaro.

That's as simple as that :)
