“iHola! How’s about an éclair? How’s about an éclair, por favor?
Éclair… ain’tcha got an éclair? Anywhere an éclair in this store?
Okay … how’s about a Long John? How’s about a Long John, por favor?
Long John … you know you want grande.
Why you no comprende, por favor?”

It’s been a while. A long while.
Cripes … I’d say it’s been three years or more since the last time I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut. I can at least remember that the thing gloriously melted in my mouth when I bit into it. Heaven by the dozen in a box.
So … it goes without saying that a commercial like this would make its way to the airwaves:
But … I have questions. Many questions … some of which are:
“Takin’ that party to the donut shop.
Donuts, donuts … they’re en masse.
On the racks and behind the glass.”

I keep telling you they have them down here in Orange County. There’s the one at The Block at Orange, and one you can see from the 5 down past Mission Viejo just a bit. Looks like there’s one up in Industry, too, so you wouldn’t have to drive that far. ;)
The driver of the squad car was just getting ready to finish the last of the box of four. The cups are empty, but just have their sipping lids on. If they were full they would be steaming. The motorcyle cop had been exiled to the donut free desert for far too long, and pulled over to find the squad car cop had no compassion or understanding. Ergo the fight.
Okay, once in a blue moon these donuts are guilty pleasures. But air, sugar, and fat can only take you so far. And only if the sign says “Hot Donuts NOW”!
Only you could work Andy Prieboy into any blog post. Swoon.
