"See Effete Mac People Use Macs"
"Spyhouse is the best place in the Twin Cities to watch pretentious, foppish metrosexuals using Macs. By far."

Now, heres the deal. That was the description on Google Maps, someone left regarding my FAVORITE coffee shop in Minneapolis. I go there sometimes, with my mac and don't think I am an Effete, pretentious, foppish, metro sexual.

it is infact a very cool place to hang out for a while, they have great coffee (good tea too which is good because I am still on the wagon regarding coffee) it does get a lot of artsy people because it is 2 blocks from the MCAD, Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The baristas are not cold, especially if they know you, and the music is good.

I think whoever wrote that was just pissed that his overweight, repuglicon, PC using ass could not get any play from the hotties that are in there often.

If I could link you, I would.

2. well I use a Mac and I am as egalitarian as they come.
Now that we've settled that, may I have a double decaf, no fat, freshly ground cinnamon and chocolate cappucino please?

3. I would not let it bother you - some folks are just bitter
and don't play well with others, and try to badly latch on to whatever stereotype they can make fun of.

5. WTF?
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 04:19 PM by geardaddy
I love that coffee shop and don't find it to be a place "to watch pretentious, foppish metrosexuals using Macs." I think there are a lot of cool artsy types there and lots of "tat and pierced" people. Hardly my idea of "foppish" or "metrosexual".

Your analysis of the reviewer/poster is accurate in my estimation.

I haven't been there in months, but I do love that place. Especially that they have outlets just under the bar at every seat!

11. Google Maps: "Mom's basement of loser who wrote the coffee shop review"
"Best place in the tri-cities area to watch sexually frustrated proto-humans scream at BSODs (during their frequent attempts to mash out half-literate quasi-phrases with crude, computer input tools.)"
