The Takeover  

Nah, this aint no post about Jay.

Mark this day in your calendar folks. Ten years down the road, look back and go "How did Buttug know all this crap? He was never gifted with prophecy." Well I'll tell you, I wasn't the only one who had enough time to think through all this garbage.

This blog post is co-written by myself, the Most MuthaLovin BibleReadin Gangsterified WriterOfRandomness ThinkerOfThoughtsSoWeird ButtUg, and the still considered Psuedo Housemate, ChocolateLovin IHaveASexyGooseVoice Sue (as in psuedo, cmon...keep up now, got a lot to run through here today. Ahhhh you get it...its quite clever...put your cheque in the mail please and address it to 311 Apt9 thanks).

Ten years down the road, Apple and Starbucks would have realized that world domination was something laying in the middle of their palms, and all they had to do was put their two separate hands together to finally capture this dream that a mighty Brain and a not-so-mighty Pinky never were able to fulfill.

It all starts with the introduction of the "Apple-buck". Where one Apple-buck is the equivalent of 7.42pi American dollars. Because if you use Apple products, you're probably a nerd and would appreciate how "normal people" would squirm when asked to convert their old currency to new currency.

Everytime you decide to waltz into a Starbucks to buy a coffee, and you let the cashier see your Apple product that you are carrying, you get...A FREE APPLE! Why an apple other than the linkage between the company name and the fruit name? Well because ten years down the road, well actually even right now, health will be all the rage. Technically this doesn't make much sense, because the caffeine in the coffee would offset any nutritional value provided by the apple.

But the one thing people are more concerned about than health? IMAGE. I mean picture this. How hip would you be if you bouncin to your very own IPod beats, all the way down the street, clutching a theoretical Mocha LatteChino (there's no such thing...especially not Grunion flavor), while snacking on an apple?

Now this is all fun and good, but wait a second, you said that you weren't prophetic. Where are you comin from Buttug/Sue?

Signs of things to come:
- Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow naming their kid "APPLE". Just you watch, a couple years down the road, they change their last name to "MartinI", and coincidentally, a new drink to be offered at starbucks, the Apple Martini.
