Shifty Likes His Coffee Strong

Oh good, still there.

Last night at Starbucks, while waiting for her medium vanilla soy latte (I refuse to call it "venti" on the grounds that is pretentious and annoying as shit), my friend Ginger overheard a guy behind her ask for an Americano with "four, no, make it five shots" of espresso. Curious, Ginger turned around to see what kind of nut would drink such a super-charged caffeine concoction and... lo and behold it was Seth "Shifty" Binzer of Crazy Town (dumb name) and most recently VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" (dumb show).

Now, for those of you who don't know it, a) an Americano is essentially espresso coffee (anywhere from one to three shots) plus hot water and, b) Seth was in "Celebrity Rehab" for smoking crack. Well, it seems our boy is trading one addiction for another. Soon he'll be asking for "nine, no, make that ten shots" of espresso and won't even bother with the damn hot water. Hasn't he heard of Peet's though? Doesn't he know that Starbucks is the meth (nasty but gets the job done) of the coffee world?

Let's just hope they don't come up with a way to smoke the stuff because you know if they do our boy will be on that like a Pit Bull on a two-year-old.
