Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

In commenting on another Starbucks related article, I stumbled upon a good caption / sound bite, if I do say so myself...

There were signs... Then there were dead people.

No, no, no...

That message will send the soccer moms and the brainwashed latte-sippers into a tizzy. They are programmed to think that ANY reference to death is a THREAT, or some sort of veiled reference to a threat. This won't work, because their sense of irony and satire has pretty much been excised and replaced with paranoid, irrational fear.

How about the old standbys:


"Defense-Free Victim Zone"


or:

"Unless you are rich or politically connected"


or:

"Careful what you say:
We're coming for the First Amendment next"

I still prefer the industrial "WARNING" with this as the text:

BEYOND THIS POINT ONLY CRIMINALS HAVE FIREARMS

stay safe.
