A lot of the drive-thru espresso stands are doing that here (north of Seattle), like "Java Juggs" staffed by "Naughty Pasties Barristas".

Of course, there's the backlash of the new T&A stands where the T&A stands for "Tasteful and Appropriate."

But the heavier traffic is always at the tacky ones. Go figure.

A friend of mine used to work at Starbucks. They offer insurance (that the employee pays $50+ a pay period for) to part-timers. Half the crew she worked with was there ONLY for the insurance.

It'll be interesting to see how many people actually come back to purchase a Grand Slam later.

It'd even be more interesting if they did the promotion from midnight to 4am to catch all the drunk clubbers...

Oh, hoopty... Yer showin' yer age, honey! Brazil is a takeoff of 1984.

I remember seeing this ad when it first came out, and being thrilled that it was a female athlete. That alone seemed really progressive.

At the risk of being all "Debby Downer", most of these "awesome cakes" are just fondant sculpture with a bit of cake buried somewhere beneath.

For once, I'd like to see an awesome cake that's ONLY cake. No frosting. No fondant. Just pure, raw, naked cake. Because I love cake.

Geekazoid, it's not "political issue" on a local level. As a former resident of South Texas, I can tell you it's very much a "crime and safety issue" for the folks who live near the border.

Not all the folks who cross the border into the US are nice people just looking for better lives. Many of them are drug smugglers. Others are happy to break and enter, rob, steal (and worse) on their trip north.

Better the camera system than a pack of trigger-happy racist vigilantes.

Amazing to see a working model... Makes you wonder how many other techological marvels of the ancients have disappeared because they were melted down just for the metal value.

Alex, I'm with you about the political stuff. It slays me when somebody complains when something even vaguely political that gets posted and says "That's not neat!" They're mainly complaining because it doesn't support their beliefs/opinions.

When something happens in the political world (good or bad) that's a huge current event, it is of interest to a LOT of people. That makes it Neatorama-worthy, IMHO.

Brilliant! Just adopted a kitten who's a champion tp shredder. This device is exactly what I need so I won't have to hide the loo roll in the cabinet at all times.

So what scares you the most, Josh? Their brown skin or the fact that can speak (or at least understand) a bit of two different languages and you can only comprehend one?

Relax, man! The intermingling of different cultures is what gives a city a unique flavor, great food and festivals.
