Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't drink coffee either. But I go to Starbucks every day. Except this month where I am on a Starbucks-Fast

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a coworker who buys tea at Starbucks. That to me is totally nuts -- you can buy the same tea bags they use for like a one-zillionth of the price!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I only drink coffee if someone else is making it, and when I'm getting something to drink at the bookstore for break or after work, I always get a lemonade instead of a coffee. For the winter, though, I might start indulging in some hot chocolate...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Freak.

I'm about to run out of Kona coffee from my relatives. Do you think they're going to send me any more for Christmas?

Do you want to hear my whole conspiracy theory based on the Starbucks logo? You don't? Good, 'cause it's pretty much, isn't that a weird logo, I bet there's some conspiracy behind it. I would have more, but it's hard to form conspiracy theories before I've had my coffee.

That means I have to go pay it during this evening's Snowpacalypse.

Dude, automated online billpay. I'm just saying.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The tea at Starbucks isn't anything special, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good, 'cause it's pretty much, isn't that a weird logo, I bet there's some conspiracy behind it.

Well, the Starbucks logo once had nipples. Then they removed them. Then for some anniversary thingie they put the nipples back. Then people got mad. Then aliens created alien/human hybrids.

Compassionately intolerant

you can always counteroffer. He sounds like a lazy sack, so he may work with you so that he doesn't have to find a new tenant.

He is absolutely that. Plus so cheap it forces him to tell lies like, "Um, they don't make locks for that security door anymore so...too bad." And why it took him a full two years to replace the kitchen faucet, also 'not made anymore'.

Having me leave would require him to replace the carpet, repair significant cracks in the walls, repaint, replace the washer/dryer unit (busted knob I just use a clamp to operate) and disclose the lead paint hazard to any potential client (this will be my parting gift to him, whenever I leave). And, considering it took him 6 years to do the initial renovation (and I moved in before it was even finished), that would mean he'd lose his $1800 per month AND all the renovation costs.

I just don't know how to frame the counter argument or what to even suggest.
