have u ever eaten a donut & thought, man this could use some stale reeses puffs or maybe a pepto bismol glaze? come on down to voodoo donuts.

Have you ever wanted a donut shaped like a massive dick and balls?! Have you ever wanted a donut with M&Ms on it named the Marshall Mathers Donut?! Have you ever wanted to get married in a donut shop?!?!?!?! Boy howdy do I have the place. For. You.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I loving hate Voodoo Donuts because I live in the city but commute to the suburbs for work, and everyone in my office gets so excited when some rear end in a top hat brings them in. This lovely stale donut has lovely stale froot loops on it! Well this one has a cold piece of old bacon! Amazing! :wth:

I've honestly never even tried it because they only sell it in the airport, to tourists.

Voodoo is a local donut shop that specializes in making 'weird'/obscene donuts and in getting people to tell tourists 'you gotta go to Voodoo it's a Portland thing' and they're better than Krispy Kreme but not by that much.

Actually, I should be fair: if you show up when there's not a line out the door and you want a donut, the cinnamon blunt donut is actually pretty good.

The Dunkin' Donuts in my old neighborhood turned into a check cashing place a while back. Ever since, I haven't had the heart to get donuts from anywhere else; their stuff wasn't necessarily good, but it at least knows that it's mediocre, unlike loving Voodoo and Krispy Kreme. :sigh:

A vodka that has an actual taste, and a taste that is good, is Prairie vodka. I heartily endorse and recommend it. It's not even that expensive. Although it is made from corn so I guess it's more of a diluted moonshine that calls itself a vodka.

My nephew keeps taking my flashlights, lol. He's 3 and I keep buying cheap ones so I let him. I may still have a head lamp around here somewhere though, but finding it in the dark...

Kinda wish I'd actually bought all the disaster preparedness poo poo on my amazon list right about now.

I feel a lot of nostalgia about them, as well, and I did genuinely like some of their donuts (mainly their Boston creme).

These things can be said about Prairie vodka:

1. It's tasty
2. It costs ~$20 for a 750 ml bottle
3. The label says vodka
4. It'll get you drunk

Everything else, up for debate.

Bacon should be eaten with beer, not brewed in beer. I will fight those that disagree. :colbert:

Fallacy- false dichotomy.


"all of you all" is redundant, exactly.

Deny. This usage draws the distinction between "all of you all" and "some of you all", meaning that both words are addressed to the entire group, but the latter phrase concerns information needed by only a subset of the group. Southerners like to hear themselves talk, and they like everyone else to hear them talk as well, even if not everyone is the object of their conversation.

To the extent that it is used in this fashion it is lovely, because it connotates ambiguous meaning to "y'all", where it otherwise serves a perfectly valid and otherwise underserved grammatic use. This is why "y'all" is great, but it's the only good product of the horrible barbaric Southern culture(that I am from). Even when the South lucks out and produces a useful and valid addition to the english language, they still manage to gently caress it up and use it wrong.

The fact that they make Red Stripe tallboys should obviate all other beer chat outside of "Oh boy, I sure love giant cans of Red Stripe".

But apparently I'm the last man alive that prefers lager to ale.

The endless proliferation of IPAs must be stopped. HMMMM I'd like to become a beer brewer, but I don't know poo poo about brewing. What if I were to mask the taste of my beer behind a wall of bitter, bitter hops! The reason it's called an "India" pale ale is because the British needed some way to get beer overland from Britian to India during the Raj without it spoiling. Hops is a natural preservative so they loaded the poo poo up with hops, not out of taste reasons but out of necessity. So people that drink and like IPAs are bad beer drinkers. Same deal with gin and tonics. The two ingredients weren't paired because they went so well together, they literally had to put gin in tonic water to get soldiers to drink their disgusting medicine.

Yeah, I'm sick of overly hopped beers. It tends to be a per-brewery thing. I went to local micropub where they make a variety of house brews and 5/9 of the house drafts they had were some variety of hopped pale ale. gently caress that. At least in the last couple years multiple breweries have opened in my area and they tend to focus either on belgians or weirder poo poo like gose.

I'm with you on the loving IPAs. They're fine but goddamn ducking into convenient bars to watch World Cup games on tap they would have like 6 IPAs, some weird fruit beer a Belgian thing a white beer a wheat beer a red ale (always red I don't know why) etc. Put a pilsner/lager in there that isn't Coors/Bud/Etc. you dicks!
