Good Morning To You Too

Posted by on August 15 at 8:27 AM

I sure like Sureshot Espresso on the Ave. Unpretentious, beat up tables, free WiFi, pinball. What’s not to like? Well, gee, I could quibble with the staffers blasting music at 7 AM, and the odd eye-wateringly-stanky-U-District street person. Minor discomforts, really. But there’s just no excuse for this:

I’ll put up with loud music and the odd stanker, but no one should be forced to drink his morning coffee or tea—and play his first game of pinball—under a painting of a sliced open bunny rabbit.

you sure Dan?

Last heard that bunny was a Fox News watching, Christian, porn addicted, Rabbit.

That's not half as disturbing as seeing *this* first thing in the a.m.

Well, that explains the two guys sitting behind me, their bibles open to Kings.

What's not to like? Well, how about their yucky coffee?

I'm happy to sit under paintings of eviscerated bunnies, aborted fetuses, and Holocaust retrospectives if I can get a good macchiato.

Which, at Sureshot, I can't.

So, there.

If it was one of the bunnies in Woodland Park, I'd be thrilled to see it sliced open. God, how I hate those bunnies.

Well, Fnarf... hold tight. Your wish is our command.

Damn! Is it too late to switch my wish to a case of Caol Ila 25-year-old Islay malt?

Yes.

Are you sure that isn't a bunny birthmark? And that the bunny isn't playing air-guitar?

Oh my god, Dan. When did you become so bourgeoisie? Can't you tell a cry from help from the exploited coffee-making wage laborers when you see one?

If the picture were better, D Hutgens, you would be able to see the wee rabbits internal organs.

The only good thing about that joint is the pinball. I figure every coffee place plays music, but I go in there a lot and I have never heard a good song. I have somewhat picky taste but the shit they listen to is utter crap. The white coffee? Tastes like dirt!! The breakfast sandwich? A costco croissant with a kraft single and a single paper thin slice of bacon.

They insist on making the white coffee in mixed espresso drinks because of its bitter taste ala carte. However, it never causes any stomach problems that coffee and conventional espresso tends to do.

I've always enjoyed the drinks they made me, but it could be the syrups and soy milk :P

quit bitching Dan, I just watched a wild rabbit slowly die.

I think that's the artist's impression of Bunny Visiting The Dog Park ...

No, you didn't, Chris. There are no wild rabbits. They're feral, which is different. Abandoned pets, many carrying diseases, who are slowly destroying the great trees in Woodland Park.

If I thought I could get away with it I'd go down there and kill a hundred of them with my bare hands.

that is a bad copy of a fairly interesting photographic series by a famous artist. someone help me with the name here...

It's my painting. You're absolutely right: that's not a Before Coffee type painting. It's not only a dissection, it's also a vagina, so that's why Dan didn't get it. Hope there's no hard feelings.

some people have no taste, whether it be art or coffee. SURESHOT ROCKS MY WORLD BABY!

There's nothing like the smell of dead rabbit in the morning...Get some taste in art, Dan.
