A HANKERING FOR STARBUCKS ...?!?

Either Actor Tom Hanks had a craving for Starbucks or he just felt like making the rounds today in his spiffy Toyota Prius.  The popular actor -- who reportedly just hired extra bodyguards in the wake of Da Vinci code death threats -- waved a friendly greeting as Kathy hollered, "Hi, Tom!"  In other celebrity news, Dennis' artist friend is back after spending a month at Brangelina's house in Namibia.

A BRILLIANT MORNING ...!

No if's, and's or butts ... it was a "brilliant" morning today at 7th and Montana.  Just ask the fashionable newcomer -- pictured here -- who plastered the word "brilliant!" on his behind.  I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but rarely does one find someone so willing to advertise where he keeps his brains!

 

 

HEALTH AND WELL BEING AT STARBUCKS ...

Our Favorite Starbucks doubled as an Intensive Care Unit this morning as Melinda geared-up for her knee surgery, Genevieve nursed her Bronchitis and Toby developed a mysterious eye ailment to keep his ear infection company.  Thank God for Natalie, our Resident Surgeon, who just last week treated a patient who was farting through his chest (and that was the least of his problems ...).

MAKE MINE A McMANSION ...!

Ground broke this morning on Santa Monica's newest McMansion-in-development at 7th and San Vicente.  The fun began at 7:30 when a work crew enjoyed what appeared to be a picnic beneath an endangered tree.  Minutes later, a bulldozer and porta-pottie arrived.  By 10:00, spectators were lined-up to peek through the fence.  For my part, I still say the award for best McMansion in town goes to the Spanish style villa down the street.

SPREADING GOOD CHAIR AT 7TH AND MONTANA ...

It's official:  Chivalry is dead at 7th and Montana.  Just ask Kathy, who arrived at our table this morning in search of a chair.  Did any of us offer her a seat?  Forget it!  Actually, had anyone offered to help her in any way, I would have -- err -- fallen out of my chair! 

A STAR IS PORN ...!

The crowd at 7th and Montana was aghast this morning on reports that our Favorite Building Manager has found a new calling ... in the Porn industry.  "I'm branching out," he joked, "Porn's a big business."  In a potentially related development, the perennial entrepreneur has also purchased a new video camera. 

TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION ...?

A news alert in this morning's Bulldog Reporter claims that Starbucks will stop at nothing in its mission to "rewrite society's pop culture menu."  I guess 100 million grande drips can't be wrong.  In an exclusive interview, one Starbucks insider said, "Today 7th and Montana, tomorrow the world!"
