i'm making a pilgrimage

y'know how devout christians sometimes make a big deal about going to bethlehem, and muslims to mecca, etc etc...
well, i'm going to toronto.
Disclaimer: I am not a coffee drinker, and have maybe paid for 2 coffees at Tim Horton's in my whole life. Regardless, I'm sure many devout Church of Greater Ontario worshipers are going to mistaken my business trip for something more devout...

this was a very poorly executed attempt to imply that all of Ontario treats Tim Horton's like a church, where they regularly go to pay homage, with obscure phrases like "double double" and so forth...

I myself cannot for the fucking life of me understand how it is more pleasant and enriching to get in line (you HAVE to see the size of both the drive through aisles and the line-ups of cars in Toronto every morning) and give them 2 or 3 bucks a day for "acqua sporca" (dirty water, to us italian types). all this, rather than brewing your own cup at home or, should you be scheduled to the nanosecond every morning, at the office...
y'know, nanosecond-scheduled-types, they make coffee percolators with timers on them, so you can fill a thermos (hey, buy one with "Tim Horton's" on the side if you must) and run out the door...

er, choose your time carefully, and deposit your earned money on things and acctivites that give you the most pleasure. habits are SPOOKY!
