Blueberry cake donuts are truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. They also happen to be one of my all-time favorite donuts. I generally prefer the Dunkin Donuts blueberry Munchkins, but I find that the blueberry cake donut to be one of the most consistent players in the donut selection from market to market. As far as I’m concerned, everything else is a gamble — cinnamon twist, you’re maybe ok… but a bear claw? jelly-filled? Forget it. If you’ve not put them to the test before, you might as well just starve. Oh sure, maybe any donut is better than no donut, but if we don’t hold out for the best, then how far have we truly come? If we don’t stand for great, life-changing donuts, what do we stand for?
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again … Blueberry donuts: Always there for you, always tasty, always there to share the special moments of life.
Aside from the standard “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?” bit, kids come up with some pretty interesting jokes. You know … the kind of jokes that aren’t really funny, except that they’re so random and not funny that they are, actually, really hilarious. My daughter went through a phase where she was the queen of this genre of comedy, taking the knock knock joke to absurd new heights. Apparently she’s not quite done on the circuit, as she came up with this side-splitting routine earlier today … well at least I think it’s funny. And really, that’s all that matters. We now present… “Gelatin”:

“I spend October, November, December in the basement, making sausage,” says Gary Coleman.
Coleman fills pig intestines with meat, potatoes and onions. The store sells 1,500 pounds of sausage every day around Christmas. People stand shoulder-to-shoulder in lines snaking out the door to get their share.

I had no idea.
