I'm just going to come out and say it. I like chai. And green tea. And flavored coffee. I used to get embarrassed ordering anything that wasn't plain coffee, until I heard Joe call french vanilla a "fruity drink" and realized that's just stupid. Funny how you don't really notice that something is dumb until you hear Joe say it.
There's no end to the weird flavors they keep coming up with for coffee and tea, but has anyone ever thought of combining coffee and tea? Imagine coffee-flavored tea, or tea-flavored coffee. Cofftea. Or Teaffee. Why am I not working on developing this right now? It's a goldmine. Goldmine, I say!
Crap. Apparently several hundred people beat me to it. Aw, my millions. Oh well. At least the Spare Change Guy is doing alright for himself... br>
Panhandler arrested three times in one week

FRAMINGHAM - "Spare Change Guy" is making a name for himself.
Trying to add a little jingle to his pockets, John Bubier was arrested for panhandling Sunday, just four days after he was nabbed for pulling the same stunt twice in one day.
"He's kind of crusty," said police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany. "He doesn't take well to being told enough is enough."
Bubier, 53, of 12 Lexington St., apt. 24, was charged with disorderly conduct on a person and resisting arrest. Shastany said the man was soliciting spare change from drivers downtown before his arrest at 2:23 p.m.
"He was walking in the traffic again at the intersection of (routes) 135 and 126, stopping cars and asking for money - panhandling," Shastany said. "When the officers arrived, they caught him doing that."
"The cars would slow down because there's a pedestrian in the road and, obviously, they don't want to strike him," he said. "He goes to the driver's door or windows and asks for money."
When police tried to take Bubier into custody, he would not cooperate. "He was kind of obstinate," Shastany said.
He said Bubier always has the same trick up his sleeve, and has even pulled his shenanigans on camera.
"He's always a fixture on Beacon Hill at (the) Fox News studio," Shastany said. "When V.B. (Goudie) the reporter does his commentary, this guy is frequently seen in the background and interviewed at times."
"That's Spare Change Guy," he said. "He's infamous ... a pain in the neck."
On Wednesday, Bubier was arrested at 11:46 a.m. on a charge for disorderly conduct, released on personal recognizance, and then arrested again at 2:45 p.m. for the same thing, police said.
For his latest charges, Bubier was scheduled to be arraigned today in Framingham District Court.

See? Sure, he got arrested, but he's got an apartment. Things are looking up.
