better than dunkin donuts and krispy kreme tbh.
i'm so out of shape right now.
i'd probably tap in 1 minute. not from a submission but from just running out of breath.
Not many mom and pop places around my area these days but the ones there are often make the best food. One of them does giant doughnuts that make you feel like you've just had dinner, and they do banana cake which is really nice as well.

Feckin' Hollywood ***s..
Is The King's Speech set to be boycotted by the Oscars? Film blogger Scott Feinberg certainly seems to think so as he has received an anonymous email claiming to be from an Academy member which suggests that the Colin Firth film may be overlooked by Oscar voters.
The reason for the alleged boycott is the real life actions of King George VI (played by Firth in the film) in preventing German ***s fleeing the ****s into British owned *********. This anti semetic view apparently does not sit well with Academy members, a large proportion of which are from the ***ish community.
The email reads: 'I'm an Academy member, and there are a LOT of us who won't vote for "King's Speech" for this reason. Seeing as Speech is Oscar bait in extremis, this blogger feels morally compelled to note that while the film largely glosses over the ****-sympathizing past of the tongue-tied monarch (Colin Firth)... when it came to actively working to stymie ***s fleeing Hitler's Germany, George actually communicated quite eloquently.'
Although no one has so far been able to confirm whether the email is actually from an Academy member, there is no denying the historical accuracy of the complaint, for which Feinburg references a 2002 piece in the Guardian:
'In the spring of 1939 George VI instructed his private secretary to write to Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax. Having learnt that 'a number of ***ish refugees from different countries were surreptitiously getting into *********', the King was 'glad to think that steps are being taken to prevent these people leaving their country of origin.'
Those in defence of the King's Speech will point to its screenwriter David Seidler who is ***ish and whose grandparents died in the holocaust. Of course, when adapting the vast complexities of an individual's life onto screen, filmmakers must pick and choose which aspects of their subject's character they wish to examine. Whether the actions of the real monarch work against the fictional version we won't know until the awards ceremony itself on 27 February.
