A bougie, white, early 30s, peacoat-wearing couple enters Oren’s.
Man: We would like to buy coffee beans.
Oren’s barista: Okay, let me show your over here.
M: Before you start, I just wanted to make sure that it was fair trade.
OB: Well no, it’s actually better than fair trade.
M: What?
OB: It’s actually direct trade. Oren actually meets the farmers and negotiates a price, cuts out the middleman.
M: Hmm, that sounds fine.
They continue to talk about coffee bean sourcing until the man settles on a pound and a half. Sometimes TV is real life…

@No more free Portlandia... :(
I miss Megavideo!
@thought of this before I scrolled down to the video. Very satisfied Bwog has similar tastes in referencing pop culture. Also, Portlandia is now on Netflix streaming. The show is now OVER!!
@testing testing 1, 2…
@Anonymous this was such a great episode of Portlandia!
@Anonymous Portlandia ftw!
@Anonymous this isnt related (sorry) but what are some websites i can turn to to buy books from columbia students who have already taken various classes? amazon.com just isnt giving me good prices for used books
@Obviously this is leading to a shameless self-plug.
@Anonymous nope. just a cash strapped college student. are there any old bwog posts about sites to try out?

@Anonymous Try dormslist. org, I’ve had some luck with it in the past.
@Anonymous it’s not buying, but i use chegg for science/language/other expensive textbooks. you’re shelling out $60 or so for a book you’ll only have for one term, yes, but it’s still generally better than the resale value you’ll get off a book you buy.
