No more Star Strucks
This just in: You haven’t seen that “Star Strucks” sign this year have you? Of course I wouldn’t know because I would never violate the order keeping me off the property. That’s right. Like the pretzels which have to be covered now having coverings, the electrical outlets which were replaced, the now slip shower mats which had to be installed, and even Marietta getting fired; you heard it here first folk. Even before it happened.
Why? Well in the case of the Star Strucks sign, because it seemed like a clear trademark infringement and I don’t think Star Bucks much liked it. All in all, there are some points of this protest that I am very much enjoying.
At another show, someone pointed out all the places I was wrong (Hi Jay and Marietta). Ah, but here are those very problems being addressed by staff and management as they scramble to address them before the government and press get involved. Now they could have addressed my complaints in a civil and quiet way before it was necessary to make such a big public stink. But nope, Slick Pete wouldn’t spend a time for things like floor mats until I resorted to making a big stink.
Well, if you want to read my prediction for the ultimate outcome of this matter just hit Alt and F4 at the same time and you will have my opinion. I didn’t want to post it publicly, so I hid it from the search engines.

We came back to see if you were going to post our comments to you. Thank you for doing so. As for your comments back, we noticed two things. The first being that you simply skipped over certain issues, so we are simply going to take that as your acknowledgment that you either did not know enough about the subject to discuss it, or that we were simply right. Not surprising in some circumstances, we tend to know what we are talking about before we open our mouths. On that note, we hate to break your illusion that it was a big deal, but either Star Bucks did not care that much or Peter worked out a deal with them we do not know. What we do know is that the sign was still hanging up this past weekend. As it has been since the opening of faire. Now we know by your own words that “It is supposed to be a silly rambling, nutty sort of site.” but you could at least try to make sure your facts are right before posting them. We understand that you cant be there at faire to check the facts out yourself, but honestly you might want to check your sources as they lied to you. Trust us we both saw the sign with our own eyes. Its still the “Star Struck Cafe”.
Oh, and as for your idea that we work for ORF Inc. You could not be more wrong. The “we” is simply referring to each one of us “twins in blue”. We have been patrons and workers over the years and one of us works currently while the other is taking a year off. But do not worry we are definitely not rattled, we are simply made of sterner stuff than that.
You might also want to work on accusing people of different things, no wonder people get unhappy with you.

Twins in Blue - Not sure what it is you claim I overlooked. In so far as the missing vs. not missing sign, two men say they are Jesus. One of them must be wrong.
So I take it you don’t think the profit line for ORF was lower this year and nobody is paying attention to the growing amount of discontent there? Ok then, maybe you are the real Jesus, maybe not. I have no way to know.
