Wildroses:
Yep, I'm from Perth. I'll add sized coffee as another thing they do differently in the East. We are the state who was dragged kicking and screaming into Federation by the goldminers, then tried to persuade an unwilling England to take us back 14 years later, so I don't think it is a big surprise at how different the West and Eastern states can be. Our current premier's long and successful political leadership career could probably be summarised as: "Yay West Boo East".

I assumed Akima was asking me because I was quoted in the post, but you're probably right.

Carl-E:
OK, this isn't off topic, really - just give me a minute...

Mattel Inc. has finally introduced new Barbie body types.  The pic below shows petite, tall, curvy, and ... well, she's pretty much a standard barbie only black.  So, alternative skin coloring.  Oh, smaller boobs, too. 



OK, so does the tall one remind anyone else of Emily?   :psyduck:

Tova:
Kind of? Only because she's tall, really.

Akima:

I meant "you" as in "one".

I live in Sydney, and as far as I am concerned, there are just two types of coffee, a "short black" (espresso) or a "long black" (double espresso poured into about 150ml hot water, never the other way round because it will destroy the crema). Anything with milk is right out.

As for the Barbie doll... maybe? She's certainly tall, with brown eyes, and straight dark hair. I don't think she's supposed to be of East Asian descent though, but it's hard to be sure because Mattel doesn't really mould to that level of detail. I mean, would you immediately pick this as Asian Barbie?

BenRG:
I have long suspected that basically all coffees are identical and these confusing names are just an excuse to double, triple or even quadruple the price. It was nice of Emily to confirm that for me. By the way, Emily would have got extra credit if she'd responded with some witty insult, whilst Faye would have declared her a Master of the Art if said insult had been in an exotic foreign language! :-D

Meanwhile, Dora has been reminded of the other reason she fired Faye other than the 'drunk at work' thing: She can be really, really obnoxious and unreasonable.

Now, am I the only one who thinks that Jeph enjoyed drawing that close-up of Faye's glare?
