The execution will involve a Krispy Kreme assortment (yes, KK has assortments and not just regular glazed...but regular glazed and chocolate glazed are the only ones I eat ) that will be force fed to you.

Oh yeah...you should rebuke boxed donuts and old donuts. The from the oven KK are far from sticky.

Sorry, but I've been out of place and unable to get good computer access for a while.

But yes, Krispy Kremes come with a variety of glazes/icings/toppings and filings. But even if it were just the plain glazed, that alone far exceeds Dunkin Donuts, where every "flavor" is just a variation on dry and bad.

Now, you know if you're not getting messy, you're doing something wrong.

Huh? Oh, dear God. Now I know it's bad when I have to eat them a certain way. Face it, they're gross.

Me = Dunkin' Donuts------>

Double entendre <-----------------------------------> you.

Face it, you're wrong. I won't even walk into the next room for a free Dunkin Donut on the rare occasion that a co-worker brings them instead of Krispy Kremes -- Dunkin' Donuts just aren't worth even that little bit of effort.

No, KKs are the best.

Seriously, I truly can't understand how anyone can like what DD calls "donuts." Rings of dry, flavorless flour.

But I will say no more on the subject. More than enough has been said, and anyone with working tastebuds can tell the difference and can tell who's right. (me)

cheerfulgreek and alum should chase a DD off of a bridge.

(a low bridge with a safety net waiting below, of course)

MysticCat, look at it this way - more KK for us!

I am from "The Midwest" and we traditionally do not have accents i.e. did you notice that all news anchors kinda sound alike-that's a midwest "accent", but there is a lot of slang terms used, mostly because our families are migrants from the south. i.e. you will probably never meet someone from Wisconsin whose family isn't orginally from Tennessee, Georgia, Miss. etc.
Anyway, in addressing Ebonics, I feel that it is nothing to be ashamed of, nor should we try to exchange it for "proper English" Ebonics is a testimony to the fact that as much as slavemasters tried, African-Americans were able to retain some forms of ancestral dialouge. We were stripped of our histories, families, prides and identies, and to be able to maintain some form of historical speech is a blessing to our people.
However, the reality is that there is a time and place for all things in which we are comfortable with. I find it inappropriate to use heavy slang in an academic or work enviornment. Furthermore, being from the midwest, where accents don't really exist, it is hard to take someone seriously with a heavy southern or eastern accent.
