National Doughnut Day 2009

Happy National Doughnut Day 2009! The first Friday in June each year has been declared National Doughnut Day, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating the day by giving away free doughnuts!

National Doughnut Day

A good friend tipped me off to the fact that today is National Doughnut Day. I have to admit that I didn’t know anything about it, but that is probably because none of the doughnut stores near me are giving away free doughnuts. Cheapskates. Anyway, the history of this important day can be found on the wikipedia page that I linked to, if you are interested. Happy National Doughnut Day!

LEGACY POST: Scott’s Take

There was horrible thing that happened yesterday. A woman bit into an “oh so delicious” Krispy Kreme donut only to be greeted with shards of glass that cut up her mouth. NOT COOL. Whoever is trying to give Krispy Kreme a bad name is going to have to face my wrath, and the wrath of all the others who love KK donuts, if they get caught. It isn’t going to be pretty. Pat thinks that it was the Dunkin Donuts people. I suspect Winchell’s. They both realize their inferiority. If neither comes forward to confess to this atrocity I guess we’ll just have to get rid of both of them.

This is just dumb. How can this stuff be music? Its so… nothing. It makes me wonder why we even call it music. I don’t even see how it can be considered enjoyable… its just noise, or the lack thereof. All I know is that I think its dumb. (So there!)
