"Donut-themed music" is promised,

I'd almost want to ride along just to know what that could be.

Donut-themed music.

Do they have doughnuts that are sort of rectangular, covered with granulated sugar (not powdered), and filled with raspberry jelly?

My neph is a doughnut fiend, so we took him to the Krispy Kreme where they make 'em HOT FRESH NOW to get one right off the line.

They're insanely good. It's one of those things we always used to do with guests when they came to town, back before we had kids and could actually take people around to see the sights. I don't know if they make 'em fresh anywhere outside of North Carolina, but if you ever get a chance to have a hot fresh Krispy Kreme don't miss it. And if any of you ever come visit me, I will take you down there and buy us a dozen to share. They're unbelievable.

Wait a minute, are you talking about Squagels?

my friend posted this "feminist" article on facebook, and I have to note that the two dudes who are posting on there about how great it is... treat women like absolute shit in their romantic relationships. Also, the article is stupid.

I think maybe the worst thing ever to happen to feminism is the endless number of "feminist" blogs that are really just "let's take anything we can think of and apply our freshman-in-college version of feminism to it." At least, in terms of things that make me fed up with self-proclaimed "feminists" who do not know what they are talking about.

I saw a tv program that visited Voodoo donuts, but this is the first time I've perused their menu.  Look tasty.

They take this thing much more seriously than you would think.

It's interesting that we Canadians, who love to put an "ou" in almost any word we can (colour, humour, honour, neighbour, etc.),  spell it "donut" including at the "bench mark" of Canadianness, Tim Horton's, and the place I grew up going to, Robin's Donuts.  Considering Canadians seem to consider these little fried nuggets part of our national identity and because the always legitimate Wikipedia indicates we consume the most donuts per capita and have the most donut shops per capita, I'd argue that our spelling is the "right way."  I mean, come on Voodoo Doughnuts is more a bench mark of how delightfully abnormal Portland is, and is not, there for a good reference for being the standard of anything (other than uniqueness, if that's possible).

Jesus. If you're gonna be like that, shouldn't it be dough-nut?

Voodoo is awesome though.

I figure in Canada it's the Good Humour man, and you can have donuts, too. Can't we celebrate our differences?

We don't have Good Humor brand here actually, it's Dickie Dee here.  And, yes, let's celebrate the differences.
