Comments on: The Worst Joke Ever http://www.michaelshowalter.net/2008/01/12/the-worst-joke-ever/ Thoughts & Observations Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:16:56 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Tim http://www.michaelshowalter.net/2008/01/12/the-worst-joke-ever/comment-page-1/#comment-2797 Tim Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:17:08 +0000 http://kudzurebels.com/michaelshowalter/2008/01/12/the-worst-joke-ever/#comment-2797 I'm pretty certain that the coffee shop featured in the generic coffee shop photo is Esselon Cafe located near Northampton, MA. This is my favorite coffee shop and the baristas are surly, but it in a distracted, veiled way, not this anger funneled into bad joke way. My point is this: I recognize that place in that photo. Next time you roll through Northampton, you can go there with that photo, match it up, shout, "SAME" and immediately leave. This will drum up interest and provide a colorful story that people will share with other people. I'm taking my website address off of this post.

That was my favorite amusement park ride at Playland Park. It also is what I think I saw in Baraboo, Wisconsin one hot August night on the way back from finding a small grey pearl in a clam at a shop near The Dells. Neither of my statements are in the least bit interesting. I like the fact that your favorite coffee shop is called “The Flying Saucer”. That was my favorite amusement park ride at Playland Park.

Perhaps. Best backstory? You betcha! Worst joke? Perhaps. Best backstory? You betcha!

Because if it is, next time I've been drinking at a party and need to drive home, I'm going to take some feline AIDS. Is that true?

I don't care how you ask for your coffee or booze, just don't follow it up with a 20-minute conversation about medical history of your pets. Nothing kills a buzz like feline AIDS.

Just suck it up and be civil! I can say that because I worked as a barista in college, and if I can put up with a bunch of whiny assholes and their half-caf no-foam bullshit without resorting to violence or bad jokes, then so can everyone else. PS- I would pay money to see you get in a fight. My bet would be on coffee guy though, he clearly has some unresolved rage issues.
