Donuts in the break room - dammit!

[gkainz]

Ah crap - somebody brought donuts in to work this morning. The problem is they're between me and the coffee pot. Wonder if I can hire someone to fetch me a cup of coffee? Reminds me of a joke...

Redneck Vocabulary lesson
Today's word is Sensuous

Use the word "sensuous" in a sentence...

"Honey, sensuous up already, fetch me another beer!"

Greg,

Are they Krispy Kreme's? I don't eat donuts, so am immune to this obsession.

Greg,

Krispy Kremes are easy for me to avoid as they leave a bad after-taste in my mouth...blah.

Yesterday, the company is handing out Tastykakes at the door as everyone walks in. They have all of my favorites (which is actually any of them - 'cept of course for French Apple Pie - but that is a whole 'nother story).

Now you have to understand that the handing out of Tastykakes is all part of the open enrollment incentive program to get people to register for health care for next year!

This is just so wrong! "Hi, we're here to keep healthcare costs down, care for some simple carbs and saturated fat."

Anyway, I'm able to get through the door without taking a Tastykake but the lady handing out the little goodies notices and drops a few off on my desk with a nice note saying "I missed you at the door....".

Yet another delicacy I can't get! I love Tastykakes. Krimpets, Tandy Cakes, yes the French Apple Pie (even if it is "French"). Sigh.

My gosh, you'd think the donuts have a mind control substance baked in. You sound like Charlton Heston in Soylent Green. Don't remember, did he ever get away, completely away?

 

[gkainz]

Nope, not Krispy Kremes. I'm not a big fan of Krispy Kremes - never did see the hype in them (altho I kicked myself for not buying the stock way back when) ... these are LaMar's donuts - not sure if they're a local only phenom or what, but they sure are good - at least they were 3 months ago when I last had one. I have to admin, I'm a carb addict - I can't just eat one! But, I managed to snag a coffee without succumbing to the temptation of the donut and now, fortunately, they're gone.
Just have to keep telling myself "Weigh in on Friday, you're still moving downward. One donut is the brink of disaster."

Ever hear someone talk about being addicted to carbs.

Taste sensations certainly release endorphins in the brain.

Ya know, Heston made some good Sci Fi movies back in the late 60's and early 70's. "Planet of the Apes", "The Omega Man", and "Soylent Green" come to mind. A real departure from Moses and Ben Hur.

I think Heston does survive in Soylent Green, but its been so long, I can't remember.

"Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape." Great stuff.
