BLOGTOBERFEST: TIM HORTON’S DONUTS EDITION
Blogtoberfest! Because if you’re gonna have a crappy sportsblog, you gotta linkwhore.
Minnesota boots off all four players involved in the group sex episode that ended with criminal sexual conduct charges for Dominic Jones. Bruce Ciskie, expert on all football where bratwurst and frostbite could be involved, says the move is YAY student conduct/integrity/program standards, BOO for Minnesota’s already hamstrung defense.
We’re still wondering why it isn’t just a little bit gay to plow a woman with two to three other guys in the room.
We’ve held off on noting the departure of Danny Nutt from the staff at Arkansas, mostly because we didn’t want to fan the flames of Las Cronicas in a case of severe illness in the family member of a coach. Nutt is leaving the staff due to a recurrence of bleeding from his brain stem. If that isn’t serious to you, congratulations, Hrothgar: you are now the leader of our pain-scorning Viking raider squad.
Replacing him at the RB coach spot will be Tim Horton, who does this thing as a side gig when he’s not dominating the world of Canadian donut sales.

What do I bring to the job? Enthusiasm, skill, and delectable frosting.
Tony Barnhardt falls victim to pre-season glazomania by making his list of the SEC’s top new assistants, placing Bama’s new OC and Texas folk hero Major Applewhite at the top of the list.
Trev got a hold of a copy of NCAA 2008, and he says it’s hobo-tastic! Someone take the copy of John Hodgeman’s The Areas Of My Expertise away from him before we find him dead of suffocation in a rail car south of Bakersfield.
The Big Lead has discovered along with a Rivals.com everyone else, that youth, a bloodstream full of naturally occurring human growth hormone, and a good diet backed up by an upper-middle class upbringing makes people attractive.

I’ll refrain from the donut=fatpill dialog as I am no expert, however, Dave’s daughter Wendy is no whore…she even washed and returned the clothes I let her wear after she lost hers…

I’d take LaMar’s donuts over any of those mentioned yet

I haven’t had them since moving from Colorado to New England, but they are much better than anything I’ve found up here.

Coop,
Refer to Papa Lou BSU and then go out and purchase some taste buds. Just because you can watch them make the donuts doesn’t make ‘em tasty. You are less of a man because you are a sucker for marketing.

sb says:
Sea, wouldn’t that make Coop a real man in the eyes of the marketeers? A little perspective, please. Besides, my lesbian, white, bhuddist psychic has told me that to judge others means something and if I could remember what it was I’d tell you, but I don’t think it was good. Just sayin’.

I don’t see how anyone could honestly prefer Dunkin to Krispy Kreme. Could someone explain their superiority because I have had multiple varieties of both and there is no comparison.
However, Though they are not doughnuts in the sense which this debate has been based on, there is no better coffee and doughnut place in this country than Cafe Du Monde.

Papa Lou BSU says:
#55: Well, I didn’t really count Cafe Du Monde as a doughnut, because those are beignets, which are fried, sweet pieces of dough, yes, but totally different than doughnuts.
“There is nothing, food-wise, that they make up North that is superior to what we make down South.
And, it is especially wrong, or wrong does not begin to describe your wrongness as Orson puts it, that you would compare anything made with sugar up North to anything made with sugar down South.”
While I’ve had many a good meal down South (I’ve often considered buying stock in the Ajax Diner, Oxford, Miss.), you’re simply out of your gourd here. Getting a decent pizza (be it thick or thin crust) in the South is nearly impossible, unless you find one inspired by NYC or Chicago style, to cite one of many examples.
As to your second comment, you’ve clearly never tasted the delicious bliss of a paczki (traditional at any Polish-owned bakery in the Midwest)…

coop,
ever eat a chicken wing with ‘Buffalo’ sauce on it? How about a ‘Philly’ cheesesteak? Hamburger? Hot dog?
And you probably never heard of a beef on weck.
Ever had a real Italian make you a real sub sandwich?
There are drawbacks to living in the South. Not many, but not having decents subs is one of them. And a beef on weck once in a while would be nice. And the occasional fried haddock slab.
Umm… But other than that, yeah, God bless Southern cooks who can deep fry anything and cook vegetables with two pigs’ worth of fat back.

#57 My Mother still uses lard and fatback when cooking. I drove over and saw them last week, and noticed a can of Crisco. When I asked her about the switch, she said “We’re trying to eat more healthy.”

Coop says:
Fine, ethnic food.
But, I can think of two burger places, one in Charleston, SC, Emeril from the Food Network, and one in Spartanburg, SC that make better burgers than anywhere I have traveled. And, I have spent too much time in NYC (one summer).
Yeah, they do make better hot dogs up North, you can have that, too.
Ethnic food and hot dogs, celebrate away!

Coop says:
I meant to say that Emeril was quoted in Playboy as stating that a restaurant in Charleston makes the best cheeseburger he has ever had.
When the most annoying celebrity chef agrees with you…

Its 5:16 in calgary. I’m at the airport. The longest line in this place is at Tim Horton’s. It appears the dinner of choice up here is 2 glazed donuts and an extra large coffee. Welcome to C-eh?-N-eh?-D-eh?

Chicago pizza is possibly the most overrated food on the planet. I can’t tell you the times I’ve heard Midwesterners claim whatever local pizza I like isn’t as good as as Chicago pizza.
A couple of times, I’ve tried to explain that Chicago pizza wasn’t really for me, which set them off an some rant that I haven’t had true Chicago style pizza, they don’t know how to make it here, etc.
I finally had Chicago pizza in Chicago a couple months ago. It was just as bad as my other experiences, with the added bonus of slower and surlier service.

People trust me, if a wretch hole like Honey Dew Donuts can exist in Rhode Island/New England, plopping a few TH’s in Warwick and Cranston is like getting a botched hand job on prom night – it’s automatic.
Brian, whence your detailed knowledge of the Ocean State?
When I lived in Providence, the only traffic jam I remember seeing on a regular basis (aside from New Yorkers herding themselves to the Cape) was at the Dunkin donuts on North Main near the Pawtucket DMZ. Every. Goddam. Day.
As for Cranston, we once got lost looking for the Cranston Bowl (not knowing it was Rock and Bowl night and would be packed…) there were easily 2 – 3 donut shops per block en route, I’ve never seen anything like it since.

sb,
Having lived in SF for six years, I’m guessing your lesbian, white, buddhist psychic friend has plenty of judgements for others…and in ten years she will be judging her former lesbian buddhist psychic self.
Though, I asume she’ll still be white in ten years.

Chg says:
Re 65: Yes. That’s probably it. I wasn’t “man enough” to eat the type of pizza you prefer. Unlike Hercules, who consumed the Pizza of Archelaus in his epic Ninth Labor, I was measured and found wanting.

On the topic of pizza, I strongly suggest everyone to add honey to pizza. It’s poetry in the mouth. My Iranian/Nicaraguan uncle used to keep bees in Nica and showed this to me when I was there.
On porn/gayness: Couldn’t you say watching just man+woman be kinda gay? I mean, why would anyone want to watch someone else’s schlong getting some? Arguments like this could be made for masturbation, cuz after all, you are jacking a dude.
Ron White said everyone has a little gay in them. His friend didn’t believe him. He asks his friend “you watch porn?” “Heck yeah!” “You watch guys with small peters?” “Hell no! I only watch them if they have a big one and uh, oh . . “
