Reasons to love Starbuck(s)



Starbuck:

She's a tomboy, and, frankly, there just aren't enough of them on TV.

No one says "frak me" quite like her.

She does not mind if she smells, as in: "One of us needs a bath."


She is complicated.

She is better than the boys.

She winks.

President Roslin has a crush on her.

And, apparently, so does everyone else.

She looks great in a uniform.

She smokes cigars.

She drinks too much. (A good quality in a fictional character. Unfortunately, does not translate to reality.)

Moby-Dick references are always appreciated.

She swaggers in a sports bra.



Now, for Starbucks:

Starbucks makes good lattes and offers a place of employment for baristas with tattoos. (This is important to society.)

Starbucks is an indicator of civilized society. Meaning, if there's a Starbucks nearby, it's probably a safe area for queers.

Starbucks supports layabouts, slackers, and procrastinators. (This is also important to society.)

Starbucks is reliable. (A boring quality in a fictional character, but a good quality in a real-life coffee shop.)

Starbucks also sells chocolate.
