A certified Starbuck's addict--particularly now with the Hot Spots--I just cannot bring myself to utter the pretentious sizes. Thus, as a matter of principle and petty defiance, I insist on ordering large coffees or medium lattes. I'd like to say it sounds more manly, but when you're ordering a latte, it's tough to sound manly.
Incidentally, my wife thinks it is really pathetic to be blogging on the 4th of July.
