plonqIn a pleasant turn of events there was no line when I stopped to grab some coffee this morning. Ever since they started their "Roll up The Rim" contest people have been flocking down there under the mistaken belief that buying one of the special cups will win them a plasma TV. If they cared to check the odds, they'd find that they have almost as good a chance to squeeze one of their own ass as they do to win one on a rolled rim. This morning, however, I found the store refreshingly empty and I got instant walk-up service at the counter.
In the time that it took me to order my coffee and pay for it, a few more people showed up. To be more specific, by the time I'd paid for my coffee and was turning to leave, a line of people had formed which stretched from the counter, through the full length of the store and out into the mall. Where did all these friggin' people come from? This place was empty thirty seconds ago! Apparently real-world transporter devices don't make the same noise as the ones in Star Trek.
