BLOGTOBERFEST: TIM HORTON'S DONUTS EDITION

Bruce Ciskie? Expert?

But I’ll bite anyway. The lose of Jones and Massey will hurt an already thin (read: non-existant) secondary, but Alex Daniels is just short of being labeled a complete waste of shoulderpads. And we’ve got plenty of RBs still, so EJ Jones is expendable. But we’ve got 3 or 4 DBs coming in as freshmen that were expected to see some playing time if healthy.

I’m still laughing at Ciskie being called an “expert.” Are you sure you aren’t thinking of his analysis for a bad hockey team when calling him an expert?

BC—

When it comes to Wisconsin and Minnesota football, everyone besides us is “expert.”

Has Cowherd broken the Big Lead again?

It’s taking me weeks to pull up the site.

Damn you. It’s been a month and a half since my last Timmys, and I have no idea of the next time I’ll make it up north again for my next hit of sweet, sweet Canadian maple crack.

How is John Thompson on this list? Did Tyrone Nix run over Barnhardt’s dog or something?

Canada: Good healthcare, bad donuts.

If you’re ever in a Tim Horton, order a coffee with two creams and two sugars. No matter how many times they ask if that’s a “Double Double”. The Canadian army had one set up on base in Afghanistan. Nothing but pictures of Bobby Orr inside. Amazing.

Orson:

Point taken, sir. This can be a football wasteland.

Now back to planning the conquest of Iowa.

Also, that chocolate donut frosting makes a great anti-perspirant. It’s hard to fight terror with your balls stuck to your legs.

Surely Beamer’s son at Carolina has to be on this list.

#5, I agree, his WTF? defense confuses itself for the first third of the season then it gives up all hope and stands around watching offensive football. But you must admit, he is new at Ole Miss, so he hasn’t fcked them up yet, which is a positive…

Orson, sex with other guys present IS gay…

Hmm is that really Urban’s progeny? Whoever’s she is: Well done sir, well done indeed.

My question is this:

Did daddy teach her how to text message? or was it the other way around?

ya gotta love them white chicks and gang signs

Alabama is going to solve their red zone problems by going to the spread offense? Has Barnhart ever watched Purdue play (or seen their YPP numbers in Phil Steele’s mag)?

Does courting Meyer’s daughter begin with mat drills and puke buckets? It sounds a little harsh.

The only hobo I know graduated from Cal.

Hmm…dougnuts and jailbait, best of both worlds.

Michael—

To be fair, calling an offense a “spread” is sloppy terminology these days. Applewhite does use four wide on first down, true, whereas Shula only used it on third and long to really, really surprise defenses.

But he’s got plenty of good, old-fashioned under-center sets in there, too. He’s no Mike Leach.

So I’ve decided to break down and buy a new gaming console (I bought the Wii, and I love it, but the call of NCAA 08 is too much to resist.) Money aside—which would y’all suggest between the xbox360 and the PS3? From what I hear, the 360 may be a better deal now, but with blu-ray tech., the PS3 may be better for the long haul. Thoughts are much appreciated before I make this impulse buy.

I found my 1st error with NCAA 08. After a 7-5 season this fall, my Gophers got a bid to play in the Alamo Bowl….against Iowa.

And do any of the other PS2 owners think that the guys look like they’re running after crapping their pants?

“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. "

Absolute correct interpretation of the Single Penis Rule.

The Canadians have invaded, I’ve stopped in a few Tim Horton establishments in New England.

RCR #20: Are you REALLY going to use the Blu-Ray capability, or would it be more of just the novelty of having it? I just picked up a “pre-loved” 360 Premium + 2 games from Craigslist.com for $275 (would retail for close to $500) and am tickled to death.

Regarding gameplay or any other technical “stuff”, I can’t really comment…haven’t played the PS3.

I’ve been to one in Michigan, too. I can see the addictive qualities of the place.

nick is right, tim hortons is all over rhode island. plus they own western NY.

OOC, I am guessing that is sarcasm, seeing as how Beamer’s non-GA coaching career has consisted of 3 years in Starkville.

I am interested to see how your special teams perform this year, given his position title and his bloodlines.

I would not have shed any tears had Ron West taken the OL job at WVa when Trickett left town, and Clemson brought in Beamer for the same job, given our lack of success in the kicking and KO departments last year.

I don’t know about Major Applewhite being great except I’m sorry we can’t suit him up and play him.

I do think Alabama’s wide receivers are as good as or better than Florida’s.

nick is right, tim hortons is all over rhode island

that’s no marketing challenge, there are more donut shops in Li’l Rhody than in California, Oregon, and Washington combined.

I’m more curious which blog inspired this quote:

“Because if you’re gonna have a crappy sportsblog, you gotta linkwhore”

I, for one, welcome my new donut overlord to Fayetteville.

it’s true, although it’s only a matter of time before the forces of Dunkin Donuts launch their massive counter attack. if Krispie Kreame was forced back, the Canucks don’t stand a chance.

Coop – all your kicking team needed last year was a shrink. Bowden’s head games screwed up Alice- I mean Jad, way too much. One of the best kickers in the country reduced to shanking chip shots.

No, no, no, Orson, Tim Horton is not a chain of Dunkin Donuts wannabes. Tim Horton is a defenseman who played for 24 seasons in the NHL (486 straight games for one stretch), mostly without a helmet and a lot of pads. He wasn’t as mean as, say, Eddie Shore; but Horton was incredibly strong for a d-man back in the rougher and meaner days of hockey.

Canucks know better than to fuck with the “Hot N Now”. Besides, currency with rodents, waterfowl, or monarchs on them aren’t accepted at Krispy Kreme’s… only US and Confederate dollars.

There are alot of Tim Hortons in Ohio. They always share a spot with Wendys. I thought Dave Thomas was American.

my punctuation and grammar sucks…

Kripy Kreme screwed up by using previously undeafeated (Germany: 1-0) blitzkrieg tactics, spreading themselves way too thin across the battle front.

Tim Horton’s, on the contrary, is courting allies in pro-hockey and Canadian friendly states in the north, slowly seeping southward like arsenic in your groundwater. Everything’s fine, until one day, you wake up, and your organs have all failed simultaneously.

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.

All this donut talk and not so much as a “Phat Phil” joke yet?! I’m disappointed in each and every one of you.

Krispy Kreme was overrated but you could at least place it in the donut family. Tim Horton’s produces unsweetened balls of dough. Even the most ardent free trader must lament certain aspects of NAFTA.

“KrispyKreme was overrated…”

Where are you from? Toledo? California?

Your opinion is neither relevant nor worthy of a response, and I am less of a man for doing such.

Tim’s is owned by Dave Thomas and his slutty daughter Wendy(s).

1. The pictures were inside probably weren’t of Bobby Orr. Most likely Tim Horton himself. The stores in Canada actually removed those picture’s several years ago.

1. Tim Horton’s was purchased by Wendy’s a few years ago. Roughly the same time they took the pictures of Tim out of Tim’s. Tim’s also shares space with Wendy’s in Canada as well. They are also in many gas stations. And pretty much on every block.

Krispy Kreme established a beach head up here which made a big splash at first but hasn’t advanced much past those initial stores. Timmy’s actually survives as much on its coffee as it does on the donuts. Tim’s coffee is often referred to as liquid crack due to it’s highly addictive nature. It is the fuel that drives the Canadian economy.

Coop,

Krispy Kremes are nothing but puffed air with glazing around the outside. There’s no substance to them at all.

Most. Overrated. Ever.

I’ll stand as a proud Yankee northerner behind my Dunkin’ Donuts Chocolate Honey Glazed, thankyouverymuch.

(And a moment of silence for the late, departed Roslyn Bakery chain in the Indianapolis area… greatest apple-fritter doughnuts in the world…)

I don’t believe what I am hearing.
What are you guys criteria for judging dougnuts?

Dunkin’s Donuts are terrible. They are spongy as fuck, and the egg sammys are microwaved. Grew up in Massachusetts, home of the Dunkin Donuts. Krispy Kreme, though very puffy, are delish. Not going to get into anything, but I say “meh” to dunkin D’s.

Yankee doughnuts are basically circular cakes with holes in the middle.

Cake is for dessert.

Doughnuts are supposed to be light, deadly due to the frying and the sugar, but light to eat.

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.

A travesty, a sham, and a mocker. A traveshamockery of epic proportions.

Both Krespy Kreme and Dunkin Doughnuts are horrible. I will have to give a shout out to the Bread Store in Sacramento, CA. Best pastries and bread I have yet to eat. And at the end of the day they donated all the leftover bread, which was not much, to local charities.

If you really want to become diabetic I suggest the caramel creame puff from any La Madeline in Texas.

Dawn Donuts FTW

Gentleman, let us forsake all our arguments and make our peace at the donut capital of the world, better known as New Orleans. Home to Tastee Donuts, you will not find a more perfect combination of sweetness and substance (light bends around these bastards) than in these “Deuce” sized donuts. Need a good lunch? Stick around for Kastle Burgers, Harold and Kumar didn’t drive far enough. And for desert, let’s not forget the legendary Buttermilk Balls, the mere saying of their name will make you need a root canal.

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

…and she even gave my roomate a firebird! Ah, Gainesville back in the day!

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.

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.

#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)…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paczki

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.

1. 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.”

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!

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…

Dude, where I live, Southern cooking is “ethnic food.”

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.

Fair enough. Not everyone is strong enough to handle it…

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.

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.

“Yankees can be tacky, quite frankly.” – Lewis Grizzard

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 . . "

A Southerner lecturing on tackyness is like an Englishman lecturing on food. Did Grizzard ever visit Dollywood?
