OT- Best Snack Donut - Page 2

Kadste · #11 August 16th, 2001, 09:07 PM

Well it maybe a northern thing also.

I work in the US quite often and I have tried many KK donuts. Unfortunately when I eat them I always think about how much better Tim Hortons are.

BTW, Canada is recognized as the Doughnut capital of the world. Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita than any other country.

There are more than 2,000 Tim Hortons in existence. If you scale this up for the US population, it would be like KK having 20,000 doughnut shops. One doughnut every 184 square miles! Just think of it, New York city would have almost 800.

1) Never heard of Tim Horton's. Do Tastykakes (originally available only in Philly area) count as donuts? Speaking of non-donuts, give me a soft pretzel anytime. (Real fresh Philly ones, not those nasty "New York" style ones they serve in every restaurant, mall, airport, and stadium in the country. Is that truly how they make soft pretzels in NYC? Bleah!)

2) Looking at the OT subjects lately, it seems that SEIV players are interested in music, reading, war, drinking, and donuts. When someone wants to know everyone's favorite outfit, you'll know SEIV has made a major breakthrough!

How y'all doin', Wendell? Good to see someone else with an appreciation for Krispy Kreme and (I'll bet) sweet tea!

dmm: Jeans and a t-shirt.

Heh, maybe I should make a survey about favorite programming language and compilier + tools. then that would show how geeky the community is! haha, JK, nerds always make the most money, HOOYAH!

Absolutely! Unless sugar is crystalizing out at the bottom, it's not sweet enough

Hokay, I'll play... For real work, Visual Basic (or Visual C++ when I have to, but VB is just so much easier). I've also been fooling around with Blitz Basic (and Dark Basic to a lesser extent) for games. I guess that gives me a moderate reading on the geek-ometer...

The sweet tea again. Oh no. Iced tea with sugar. It is how it is always done up here in Canada.

Unless I am wrong about what sweet tea is??

Is that the Blitz Basic on the Amiga? If so that's extra points on the geek-o-meter for using an antiquated cult OS=-)

DMM: Baggy shorts (that's short troUsers, USA) and t-shirt. By preference the Tshirt should display some obscure geek-culture reference (cult manga, little known comix, any of the Tshirts sold by http://www.ntk.net )

For me though the ultimate fashion accessory would be Spider Jerusalem's sunglasses.

Oh noooooo! What have I done?

Dress: Jeans and a t-shirt. Preferably one of four that I got free from Compaq, even though I've never bought any computers from them.

But I invented a custom called "dress-up Monday." (I don't need a "dress-down Friday" because I always dress down.) So on Mondays I come in with nice clothes, even a suit and tie sometimes. It's fun to see people doing double-takes, or wondering if I have a job interview.

For programming: VB for interfaces and simple programs. Visual Fortran for serious stuff. VC++ for working with interns. Matlab for data analysis/visualization.

Oh, sweet tea,
For when I'm thirsty.
Pour me a cup -- hey, make it three
Yo, sweet tea,
Come on and quench my thirst.
Come on, come on, come on and quench my thirst...

(and, probably, "I went to the fridge just a moment ago / I spotted a tea that could make me glow" etc.)

Pardon this bout of strangeness... Would that be the equivalent of sweetened Nestea? That stuff's strikes me as possibly too sweet...

Dress -- loose-fitting clothing. Short sleeve shirt and jeans (usually grey, black or green) most of the time.

Donut : Chocolate
Dress : uhm...anything that fits....

Programming (the real reason for my reply

) : Visual C++ and Visual J, and those are the only Languages i know, well, still have a lot to learn about C++. First i used Textpad for Java, but since i started using Visual J i got hooked on intelliSense. The programming got easier, the price is that i can't use Swing in Visual J

, and i'm too lazy to try and figure out why. And once i got used to the little .exe files Visual J makes for me, the platform indepence thingie of Java is also killed

Geek-O-Meter rating : 28 (what is the scale btw)

might as well put this in also :
Favourite war theatre/era :
any war where the sides are not equal like in Isreal, or in Yugoslavia, and of course all those former Sovjet countries. What i like about it is that even though the government side is so much bigger than the rebel side, the Government never seems to win, and rebels end up having their own nation, that's why i think that someday there will be a Palestine state.
I'm also writing a game that simulates a civil war, started working on it Monday, proceeding rapidly without problems for a change.
