We’re staying in a rental house in Breckinridge. 13 people in a 5 bedroom house. 6 adults. In the kitchen there’s a built-in coffee maker. Nobody knew how to use it, until son-in-law Steve says, “Oh, we have one at work. It can make expresses & lattes. It costs $7 grand.”

Yet another marker in the decline of Western civilization!

I have a couple of those. Got them at Ace Hardware. Oh, wait. You didn’t say $7.00, did you? Never mind.

My credit union's drive-thru lane looks out onto a Starbucks across the street, and there are always at least a dozen cars lined up for overpriced takeout coffee. I just don't get it.

We have 2 Starbucks and both have long lines at their drive-thru all day long.

You can buy expensive anything, I guess. Isis (Swarovski) Toilet – $75,000 What screams luxury more than Swarovski crystals? Jemal Wright designed this crystal-studded toilet known as the Isis for those who demand a lifestyle of luxury in the most extreme degree — even in the bathroom. It comes in various sizes, shapes and colored stones. Want one of these, you’ll need to pull out the big bucks; the Isis costs a whopping $75,000.

Stay away from crystal-studded toilet paper, though.
Owie.

I'm seeing a Venn diagram. It's the intersection of: 1) Likes the flavor of the various *$ confections 2) Isn't running late for work 3) $6 or so for a beverage? OK 4) Likes the effect of caffeine But yeah, that's more folks than I would have guessed too.
