Thread Name: BS: Best Doughnuts
Subject: RE: BS: Best Doughnuts
With great affection I recall several children's books called "Homer Price" stories. In one of them Homer agrees to watch a donut shop but does something to the automatic donut machine to turn it on, and then he can't or doesen't know how to turn it off, sort of a 'sorcerer's apprentice' situation. He is stacking donuts all over the shop.

In another story he learns a rhyming reframe that can't be stoppeuntil he teaches it to someone else.

There may be fractured neurons involved. Mine. Biden my time I guess.

I also recall with great affection hanging out at Dunkin' Donuts, which was an east coast and also interstate highway chain which in my memory sold good donuts and coffee. I even have one of their original coffee cups which weighs damn near a pound and is suitable for home defense. I haven't been in one for many years as I do not need medical professionals to tell me those things are way off limits to me now.
