Patriot Donut


Friday, July 1st, 2011

Hello All!
   Firstly, congratulations on a job well done!  I couldn't be prouder of the work we've all done here.  Transformers had the four food groups of movies: robots, explosions, and spaceships -- occasionally interspersed with a giant laser-beam blasting all manner of objects into a fine, particulate mist.  I don't know what else you could possibly want in a movie, except for maybe aliens and/or astronaut cameos - but that film DELIVERS -- Just like the Muffin Man.  Plus SPOCK plays a robot dude with glowy laser-swords?  Epic.

   On to business:  You are all super heroes. As such, I have just discovered that there is now a CAPTAIN 'FREAKIN AMERICA DONUT.  And you must have this.  Because I have to imagine that Captain America would be a member of the Foodstuffs Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division - a true officer of F.I.E.L.D. --although I'm dubious to just how super the Cap'n would be if he were constantly munching down jelly filled, star-shaped frosted donuts with sprinkles.*  So please enjoy one with your coffee.**

   There will also be some fruits and vegetables.  But I can't seem to find bulk oranges or orange-like fruitstuffs.  They did have lemons - and when life gives you lemons, make lemonade***!  So I brought in some of that, as well!  But the majority of the foodstuffs will be donuts.  That's what the people want, and I'm sure that's what Spocktobot would want, too.****

   Also, I hope you all kept an eye out for Choctomus Prime, because I'm pretty sure that particular Autobot was there somewhere!*****

  Have a great Fourth of July!

*Nothing says 'America' like a jelly filled, star-shaped white frosted donut with red, white, and blue star sprinkles. Well, almost nothing.  A fourth of July American flag cake probably says 'America' about the same as a star shaped Jelly filled donut. 
**Not in a RED cup.  This is clearly the YELLOW cup floor.  Total anarchy!
***All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. Get mad! I Don't want your damn lemons! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?! DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! Make life RUE the day it thought it could give THE MUFFIN MAN LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA DESTROY YOU! WITH THE LEMONS! I'M GOING TO GET I.T. TO ENGINEER COMBUSTABLE, WEAPONIZED LEMONS!
****Because the needs of the man outweigh the needs of the few.
*****It just occurred to me - what if Choctomus Prime actually transformed INTO the chocolate Autobot?  I mean - the one that we ate?  That would be a tragedy!  On the upside, that would mean that we are all now part robot. I hope I develop frickin' laser beams and rocket shoulder pads.  Those are in right now.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H...

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time...

Breaking the Fast

     As the days pass by, one after the other, it becomes increasingly difficult to do basic things like wake up, shower, dress, pay bills, and maintain consciousness for more than sixty minutes at a time.   After a while, your log begins to look something like this: "Day 51 - The beer supply is dwindling and we've run out of twinkies.  Beard length has reached dangerous proportions.  Sandwiches and morale have both reached critically low levels. We may have to eat the dog."    Many of us have been there, distraught, seemingly without hope, wondering if, as time went by, you could easily determine which of your pets would be the least tough and stringy.  But lets not discuss pets. Lets talk about YOU.  What have you been doing to stay on track?  You're learning how to work in adverse environments right now.  Especially if you've EVER, even ONCE attempted to navigate the abysmal unemployment website. It truly is terr...
