Kings Gameday: This is Not About Drew Doughty






(I'm kind of swamped at work so I'm going to write about donuts.)

 

I went to the donut shop today to buy some donuts (no shit) before work today and when the old Asian lady (they're always old Asian ladies) gave me the donuts, she gave me a big smile and said, "I threw an extra one in for you!"  I said, "Golly, thanks!" (I didn't actually say that, but I did grin too much when I said thanks so I felt like a rube) and went about my day.  While I was driving to work, though, I started thinking, 'Wait, aren't they always supposed to give you an extra one?'  Isn't that the whole point of a baker's dozen?  What the hell is she doing making it sound like she's doing me a favor when she's supposed to give me an extra one?  Maybe they always give you one and you're supposed to pretend they're doing you a favor and be nice (but there's no way I'm going through that fucking charade).  I asked people at work and they thought that wasn't really a thing anymore, that they generally just gave you 12 so the lady was doing me a favor.  I'm still suspicious.  I bet she's always giving people away 13 donuts and then saying, "I threw an extra one in for you!" and getting all this unwarranted gratitude when she's really just doing her job.  What a diabolical hag.

Star-divide

I stewed over this for about an hour so then I did some research and apparently they used to give out 13 donuts when they gave out a dozen because if you were a baker and you tried to cheat someone you'd get fucked up by King George or some shit; then it kind of came into practice because it's easier to fit 13 of something onto a baking sheet than it is to fit 12.  So it's not the baker being nice or anything, it's just them covering their asses.  I feel so betrayed.  I'm going to tell that old Asian lady that I'm on to her scheme next time I go in there.*

*Old Asian Lady: Here you go!  I threw in an extra one for you.

Rudy: (Shouting) Oh, thanks for the "charity," I guess I better get down on my knees in gratitude.  I'm on to you, you old hag!  You'll get no thanks from me!

Old Asian Lady: (*Near tears) I was just being nice!

 

Then I started thinking, "Wait, is it donuts or doughnuts?"  Donuts is kind of a nonsensical word while doughnuts makes more sense because the things are made out of dough but then again there are no nuts in them because that'd be disgusting.  Imagine how badly that would hurt if you think you're biting into dough and then all of a sudden there's a pecan.  You'd chip your tooth for sure.  Oh, and then I thought about yesterday when the gay guy at work was talking about his walnut allergy and said, "Which really sucks because I love nuts!" and I had to bite the inside of my mouth to keep from laughing.  I'm laughing right now.

So I spent all morning thinking about this instead of doing anything else so now I'm busy and can't write this gameday.  Also, I'm getting rainbow sprinkles inside my keyboard.  No one even wanted the Goddamn donuts so I've had like 3 already today.  People are so ungrateful today, you know?

Prediction: No one read down to the prediction so it doesn't matter what I write.  I once killed a hooker.

yea i found this out when i tried to be nice and buy donuts for everyone..its been like this for like 6 years at least..think cuz everyone trying to eat healthy..i guess u need to buy fuckin rice cakes or somthing…it only works in huge offices where theres ugly people who dont care..im sure donuts are popular in DMV offices..even though..since its a large office you “over buy” so in short fuck buying donuts

I once killed a hooker.

i assume u got services first before you did..cuz that would be such a waste…or worse yet u serviced yourself after?

p.s.
if rudy worked at a doughnut shop..i think he would fill the creme donuts himself…just a hunch

p.s.s.
does anyone eat the plain no-frosting circular donuts?..they seem complelty useless…except for may a c*%k ring

I usually end up doing somthing stupid...count on it

Awhile ago, my roommate and I were both at training in Irvine for 2 days, we were getting reimbursed for our parking because the parking was like 10 bucks a day. When we left the first day I pulled up to the parking attendant and the Asian lady asks for my ticket, and just to be a dick I told her I just got there a little while ago and a guy let me in and did not provide me a ticket. She gave me a suspicious look and asked for 2 bucks (the minimum I guess).

Day two, my roommate and I pull up to the booth at the end of the day, and to my delight, the same Asian lady is working the booth. Again she asks for my ticket, and again I tell her a just got there a little while ago and a dude let me in and did not give me a ticket. This time she asks me what "the dude" looked like, and I replied "he was wearing a blue jacket like you." (her uniform).

So she says 2 dollars, I give her a five, and as she is getting my change she says "you know what I think?, I think you just make that story up" it’s totally quiet as I’m pulling away and I tell my buddy "you know, I think she may be on to us"

Fuck we laughed almost the whole way home.

Don’t know why RK’s post reminded me of that, just did.

by Mike in OC on Feb 2, 2010 2:00 PM PST reply actions  

so you are the reason why parking lots now state that if you don’t have a ticket, you pay the full day’s rate … thanks alot!

(fucking hilarious!)

Since you guys are giving your asian women stories, let me share mine that just happened. Not nearly as funny, but very annoying.

The boys’ grandmother is Japanese. Born and raised in Japan. It is due to this that to her, everything Asian is so much better than everything else not Asian

So my youngest had a joint middle school / high school concert last Friday. He plays the string bass. His grandmother, along with myself and his dad went to listen to the concert. His grandmother between myself and his dad. His best friend is up there playing the violin and he’s Chinese and his grandmother says “oh he’s good isn’t he”? Sure he is we say. Very good.. She goes “yeah, I knew that. orientals are very good with music”. I glance at the boys’ dad so wanting to comment and he just shakes his head at me.

Another one of my son’s friends plays the piano, also Chinese, very well. The boys’ dad tells her that last year he was playing the violin but this year took up the piano. And again she says, “oh of course he’s good, orientals are so good with their fingers”.

Why me??

So what you’re saying is that “Orientals” are good at playing with small, delicate instruments? Not surprised.

Lemme guess, you wrote Doughty and then noticed he had the word “Dough” in his name, and hence this story was written

Doughnuts::Donuts as Light::Lite. The latter choice is passable, but whatevs.

Doughnuts. Mmm. We have a rule in our house that if someone says doughnuts more than once, we have to go out and get some. So this post happened because I was going to make Drew Doughnuts shaped like number eights, didn’t it?* The only hangup was filling vs. frosting. I think both.

(*And serve Meat-train loaf with Greenes for dinner. God I am lame.)

Anyway, I think the UN should get on banning all human contact with you, STAT. That poor lady really did do you a favor, and you know it. Next time she should just sprinkle your order with urine and come out ahead.

Is “I threw in an extra one” Los Angelese for “hand job?”

Also, congrats Kings fans! Phil saw his shadow, so there’s two more weeks before the Kings’ perennial standings dive.
