    I lived in a 1977 Mercury Marquis for a couple months in the dead middle of winter. I turned out okay. Except now I'm not crazy about living in a car in the middle of winter.

    Bonus - I live down the road from Flint. #thepoors

    In reply to A Brave New Donut
    There was a 24 hour Donut shop in SF when I lived there, about ten years ago, that was a notorious drug den. I was never sure if the dirty dealings were from behind the counter or the shenanigans of the slightly dusty customers in front, glued to their plastic chairs for hours at a time. Since I didn't know the system, I always ordered a different donut every time I dropped by, just in case the nice Asian family that ran the joint actually were the dealers. I kept hoping one day I would hit on the right code word and score opium alongside my old-fashioned.

    Let's just say that if you've ever been coming back from some type of late night outing and you get the, "Hey, what would be great right before passing out in front of my bathroom door with my pants down at thigh level...but a Boston Kreme!" And actually saw who else thought this was a good idea after entering the D&D, then, yeah you'd want your body parts surveiled while you stand on the line for donuts or, judging from the demon congregation that frequents a 3am D&D... direct shippage to hell, 6 of one...

    Doughnuts usually get past me, but this makes me want to go in, find the camera, and mime suggestively with said pastries and coffee stirrers.

    @BookishLookish: As MrMomof3 has been out of town all week, I definitely could use some sugar.

    Dunkin Yuck's donuts are like Twinkies... they don't degrade because they are full of chemicals/preservatives. A babysitter of ours loves their donuts, until she discovered one in the hatchback of her car that was 2 weeks old. It was in perfect condition. Yuck.

    @momof3wildkids: Personally, I'd have gone with 'Dunkin' NoNuts'. However, we don't even have the darn chain over here, so what do I know? I like plain, powdered sugar, raspberry-jam-filled ones. A bit like the ones the mother put the poison on in Flowers in the Attic.

    @pufflehuff: Poor Cory, eating all those donuts from that nasty grandmother. Just hearted you for the tween memories you just pried out of my head!

    I prefer jelly filled, with granulated sugar on the top -- just like the ones from Confederacy of Dunces -- the ones that Ignatius sucked out the jelly from the holes and left on the platter.

    In reply to Starbucks Bets It All on Hobo Coffee
    I think I am having a flashback when I first discovered flavored coffee via General Foods International coffee. Who amongst us didn't have a serious hazelnut habit in 1995? As an unsophisticated rube, I had no clue that I was drinking glorified hot cocoa with a small twist of java. I refuse to turn back the hands of time with this bold attempt to sucker me back into the instant caffeine generation. I may be broke, but do I look stupid to you?!
