    LOL. "Doughnut." That's ridiculous. You're not really going to argue with me over this, are you? I might punch you in the doughnuts. :P Actually doughnut holes should just be called doughnuts. And I bet doughnut holes were actually the original shape of donuts don't you think. Then someone got fancy. Maybe the hole made 'em easier to remove from the fryer.

    I've never grasped the concept of the donut hole to begin with. Isn't the hole in the actual donut.

    You don't refer to the pile of dirt laying next to the hole you dug as the hole in the ground, right?

    You're right, Scott. A hole is negative space. (I was going to go on about the perfect diet food, but this is conjuring dangerous territory...)

    Go Nuts about DoNuts

    go nuts about donuts
    and what happens to the holes
    do you worry when you eat them
    what happens to their souls
    do you like them covered
    in icing and or cream
    or ones sprinkled with sugar
    are the ones of which you dream
    do you have them with your coffee
    do you eat them for a treat
    do you scarf them down indiscrimate
    when you sit down to eat
    do you curse the weight they give you
    when you eat them whole
    and resolve from now on you’ll diet
    and only eat the hole!

    Yes yes yes yes and yes to all your questions above, Henry. Although I am particular in that they have to at least be good donuts, and not all donuts are good.

    Dave, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    I did think of another problem this morning - thank God, I almost had a day without one! I hate it when people use "loose" for lose. That always throws me off.

    a good example of why we miss you when you're not a-round (like a donut)!

    You know, I've had a long-time problem with Dr Pepper. I mean, where the hell is the period? Were they just too lazy to put the period in Dr. Pepper?

    Fwiw, according to Wikipedia:

    The period (full stop) after "Dr" was discarded for stylistic and legibility reasons in the 1950s. Dr Pepper's logo was redesigned and the text in this new logo was slanted. The period made "Dr." look like "Di:". After some debate, the period was removed for good (it had been used off and on in previous logos), as it would also help remove any medical connotation with the product.

    Since they have a half good reason for removing the period they can only be accused of being semi colons (hyphen purposely omitted)

    Still no one has asked the most important question: why is this thread in the Political Alley?

    You obviously don't understand the importance of this problem.

    Originally it was called Der Pepper, but because of the anti-hun feelings during WWI they took our the "e".

    This comes from an unimpeachable source.

    Well, that's a good place to start, I suppose.
