Guy from Texas visiting every Starbucks Dumbass
Yahoo's got an article about this guy from Texas who is trying to have a coffee at every Starbucks in the world. He started in 1997 and has since hit up nearly 5,000 of the 5,700 or so current locations. A Nebraska attorney found out about his goal, and is making a documentary about it.

Great quote: "On the day he hit 29 stores he wasn't feeling too good," Tangeman (the attorney) said. "He was a little nauseous."

Tangeman wants to complete "Starbucking" (the documentary) by the end of the year in hopes of submitting it to the Sundance Film Festival, which begins in late January in Utah. What a nut.

    I wonder if he's been to the new one in Champaign yet, and also how far out of his head his eyes must protrude. I mean, 29 cups in a day?!? Damn! That's probably higher than the number of people that will go to see the documentary.

    starbucks is the one store that would be the worst to try and visit all of them, because they build new stores all the time. not only would you never be finished. but you would have to keep going back to cities that you had already completed, just for one store.

    and seriously, how do these people just take 8 years off from life, to do something stupid. did they win the lottery and decide that since they don't have to work, they should really waste the next 10 years of my life on a fruitless adventure

      Even the guy doing it admits it is pointless:
      Every time I reach a Starbucks I feel like I've accomplished something," Winter said, "when actually I have accomplished nothing."
