Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 82: Comfortable with Derision

Yeah they are pushers for sure, a dozen donuts is like 9 bucks. I miss the good old Mom and Pop coffee/donuts shops back in Northeast PA. The best coffee ever, not the fancy smancy $4 a cup and tastes like it is burnt Starbucks coffee, I'm talking the real deal old man style pancake house style coffee!!! An XL coffee and a free made in house donut for $1.95 baby, Curry Donuts!!!

Same story here. The God donuts are like $2.50 a piece. Yea, We've had the fancy coffee-donut joints here for sometime, but the newest thing around are those fancy designer cup-cake places (The "Muff'n Man" intro plays in My head everytime I pass by one). The one up in the village has taken a lot of money from My wife since it opened. They look nice and all, but $9.00 for a couple of cup-cakes is a bit silly-IMO.

That cupcake stuff is ******** but girls go apepoopie over it like they never existed before?

My ex was a pastry chef so she was always laughing at the trends that hook people.

For example cake ball trend - when cakes get stale and you can't sell it, squeeze it into a ball, dip in chocolate and stick a stick in it and sell for more.

Edit: so a bulls poop is a bad word, but monkey poop is A O.K.

Haha, yep. To quote My wife, "They just look so nice, I don't wanna eat'em". My answer, "Why'd you buy'em then?".

Yea, gimmicks is all it is. Make's people a living I'd guess, so I can't knock it.

Haha, I never would've thought that "Cake pops", were a baker's version of "Wendy's Chili".

It's like Chicken Wings all over again, hey lets take that part of the chicken everyone throws out, deep fry it, and slap some sauce on it, and they will spend more than a steak dinner to buy a bucket, but damn I love em!!! Can't get good wings down here like back home, but Ir eally screwed up and picked Quaker Steak and Lube over Buffalo Wild WIngs, should of stuck to my usual joint, actually I should get off my lazy but and but one of those big arse bags of frozen ones from Wallyworld and sauce em up myself!!!

Haha, very true. I find it quite funny that You can buy the boneless chicken breasts, way cheaper than a bag of wings, and it's a better cut of the bird. Best wings I've ever had surprisingly enough came from a Chinese Resturant near My old job. They did this braised deal that was awesome.
 
I am so excited I am posting my Baby on this thread too, lol!!!
Thanks Mark!!!
My Baby!!!
