Um, today is National Donut Day. As if I need another excuse. Why Donut Day, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. After a quick Google search I learned that Donut Day is celebrated because (drum roll, please) “In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers known as “lassies” prepared thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in France during World War I. National Donut Day was officially established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression.”There you have it. Do you know what the Guinness Book world record is for donut eating? 26 donuts in 6 minutes. Anyone else feeling sick to their stomach?
I wonder if Donut Day is like 7-11 Day where you get free stuff. I like free.

Nice posting, Venable. What a great blogger. I'm going to blog your blog post.
I'm going to take your sarcastic compliment and pretend you really meant it!
Here's my explanation: it's Friday. And at this point in the day I have nothing better to post on. I considered writing about the fact that it's only noon and I've already had over half of my daily recommended water intake. That's pretty exciting, right?
Believe it or not but I wasn't being sarcastic. As for the water thing, however, you need to chill out. If by "recommended intake" you are referring to either a) what you read in any magazine, book, or article written by a woman, or b) any doctor (especially a woman doctor), then rest easy: they don't know what they are talking about. See http://www.slate.com/id/2188159/?from=rss.
Women have this crazy obsession with drinking their body weight in water each day, but it's just poppycock.
i once ate 12 donuts in 14 minutes. if i double and halve both numbers, i'd have a shot at the record.
I can confirm jon eating 12 donuts in 14 minutes. The sad thing is that he ate the first 10 in about 7 minutes and it took him another 7 to finish the other 2.
