Robert Bohannon, a molecular scientist right here in Durham, NC, has invented the caffeinated doughnut, equivalent to two cups of coffee. Hooray for progress!
Now the topologists are going to get really confused.

Posted by: M/tch M/lls at January 26, 2007 01:00 PMNo, what we need is beer with nicotine added to it, I think.

We are so nuts.
Posted by: froz gobo at January 27, 2007 12:05 AMI can't wait till they start marketing "Energy Donuts".
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at January 27, 2007 11:09 AMI have a recipe for viagra donuts... just need a catchy name ... any ideas ?
Posted by: loose n houston at January 27, 2007 05:12 PMhow about somethin like up with the sun, or up for breakfast, or o-nuts, or crunkin dunkins, or unholy donuts, or bonenuts, or soft n stiffs, or electric jelly rolls, or willie wakers
Posted by: Jon at January 27, 2007 06:00 PMSome great ones there Jon and MM
Stiffy Kremes
Boner O's
King Dong's
But, but . . . will no one think of the pleasure principle? Donut + coffee = ahhh. Donut alone = dry, unsatisfying.
Posted by: bitchphd at January 30, 2007 02:18 PMAlso, now I hate you, Apo, b/c now I really want some donuts.
Posted by: bitchphd at January 30, 2007 02:25 PMThe inventor's trying to sell this idea to Krispy Kreme, and coffee is a most critical component of a KK donut experience, because you *need* that coffee to cut the sugar.
That said, there's no reason in the world a sufficiently caffeine-dependent consumer can't still wash the caffeinated donut down with coffee.
Posted by: Magpie at January 30, 2007 02:38 PMHow hard could it be to score a donut, B? Perhaps not as easy as in Canada, where you can't spit without hitting a donut shop, but still.
Posted by: apostropher at January 30, 2007 02:47 PMHey what's going on? Has Stacey given up the ghost? We want Is Barack Obama The Anti-Christ? posts, dammit!
Posted by: Clownęsthesiologist at January 30, 2007 04:12 PMIt's going to suck when it's finally revealed that Stacey is Apostropher and he's been totally playing us.
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at January 30, 2007 07:36 PMOr could it be that Apo is actually Stacey, and all the non-Antichrist-related blogging has been an elaborate Godly prank? Joke's on you, sinners!
Posted by: Doctor Slack at January 30, 2007 07:40 PMup here in new england, they recently unleashed crispy creme. ho hum. everybody is solidly dunkin donuts here. about 1 per square km, on avg., no lie. people here thought they were too sweet.
Posted by: Jon at January 30, 2007 08:25 PMApo, you're right; it wouldn't be too hard. Except that I live in the residental district of the land of looooong blocks and wide streets, and I am carless during the day. You know how it is. When donuts and coffee are what you need, the idea of having to walk a mile to get them just is a non-starter. Whereas I have to admit that one of the benefits of Canadia was instant donut accessibility.
That said, waffles are sounding kinda good right now....
Posted by: bitchphd at January 31, 2007 11:57 AMApo is actually Stacey
I assure you that is not the case.
carless during the day
Ah yes, that would indeed make the difference.
Posted by: apostropher at January 31, 2007 12:15 PMScared silly.
Obvs.
I suggest you go into hiding for at least the next two years.
