I received two $3.00 Starbucks certificates for Christmas. I don’t even _like_ coffee. Anybody want 'em? If you do, just list your **username** here, and I’ll have a drawing–the winner gets 'em. (I’ll email the winner and ask for their mailing address.) I’ll even pay the postage (US and Canada only. Sorry Coldfire, Guanolad, bj0rn, etc.) I swear by the holy name of Cecil to hold an honest drawing, and that I will not become your personal stalker. This sweepstakes ends tonight, Dec 28th, sometime shortly before I go to bed. ---

I love coffee. Please enter me in the drawing. I even altered my profile so that I could be e-mailed the news of my winning, stalkers be dammed (sic- not the pit). At the risk of losing all that I aspire to win in this thread, you could save yourself some postage and use the Starbucks coupons on something non-coffee. They have herb teas, spiced cider, trendy gee-gaw gifty things with little swirls. And muffins too. ---

So I will graciously bow out as I have a dandy expresso maker and I can make killer bicotti myself. So, for those of you that don’t win, come on by my place for latte and biscotti. I’ll get some fresh cinnamon,too. ---

I’m sorry, Sue, but the certificates are worth _$3.00 US each!_. If you tried to use them in Canada, it’d probably upset your whole monetary system, throw your country into reflation, um, disflation, uh, _something fiscally really bad_, and, y’know, I’d hate to be the cause of that. 🙂 ---

I work withing easy walking distance of at least five Starbucks! (thats NYC for ya) If I am chosen, I will be eternally grateful and a bit more fidgetty than normal. That all means “please count me in.” Thanks for your consideration! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/free-coffee/47540.md?page=2)
