Seems like it tracks right along with the same time frame wherein all the myriad kinds of beers and exotic microbrews and so forth all exploded into fashion....maybe all just part of the fracturing of society with the endless choices and lack of unifying cohesiveness; no longer do we have just a handful of TV channels and programs, we have literally far too many programming choices to even know where to begin to select....sheesh

Yea, because it was better when we only had 3 or 4 TV channels and crap beer like Budweiser. Sheesh indeed.

I neglected to mention that maybe drinking (and seen drinking) these special coffees confers some sort of special, hip status on the types who do so. Maybe I should start carrying around a container (?) of Starbucks to show others that I too am a hipster.

Except I'm not now and never will be hip no matter how much prized java I consume (and seen consuming). Glug, glug.
