THIS IS A DONUT. You have been warned.

Mmmmmm donuts.... /simpsons

You showed it who was boss, I hope. I bet your teeth hurt afterwards! The best part is that it came in its own box....hee.

I'm very jealous of your cheekbones, by the way. Life is so unfair.

Is this the cup of coffee that came with it?

403 forbidden, iconomy.

And I took it easy. Ate a bit less than half over the workday, ate the rest with my wife and brother last night.

My boss came by at one point to make sure the photo wasn't altered.

Yum, my favorite, glazed! I could eat the entire thing.

This was the image:

I just opened my wallet and a fly flew out. Just like in the old-timey cartoons, when moths and flies would fly out to show that someone was poor. And there was no money in there! The fly must have spent it all on hookers and booze and donuts.

BTW for most of those 403 images, one can just hit enter in the location bar again to "manually" access the file - it's usually a hotlinking prevention measure of some sort.

Ha! Giant mug!

Now I have a reason to live. I need that doughnut.

Sweet!

That fly probably went for the tasty donut.

I finally have motivation for visiting the lesser coast of the US. Thank you.

the lesser coast

...

Come to Portland. I'll punch you in the nose and buy you a donut.

Great. Now I have to go get donuts. (GODDAMN I LOVE DONUTS.)

I have a sugar high just looking at that.

posted by mudpuppie 12 May | 14:25

And yes, it's a pretty big donut.

Totally worth it.

That ain't no donut, thats a small cake.

posted by nola 12 May | 15:01

That is spectacular. Truly spectacular.

i love that picture so much.
It gives hope that everyone in a cubicle is secretly eating a giant donut.

I have finally figured out why some person named Jesus H. Shatner has all these comments on the MeFi meetup pictures. This has been bothering me for some time. Thank you for this post which has allowed me to connect the dots.

Heh. Much obliged. If I'd known I'd keep using Flickr, and heavily, I'd have used "cortex" in the first place.

posted by cortex 12 May | 18:55

That other donut? Has bacon on it.

And yeah, I could have eaten that donut in one sitting without blinking. I used to eat two Cinnabons in a sitting.

Why, yes, I am diabetic. Why do you ask?

You know you can change your name on Flickr, right?

I've just been told by my dad that his cousin's donut shop (kinda famous, locally. One of those "You know you're a Rhode Islander if..." things) apparently makes those huge donuts to order. According to my mom, my little sister's friend across the street from us had one for her birthday instead of a cake.

You learn something new everyday.

(I'll still come over to Oregon for that punch to the nose if you want, Cortex.)

posted by CitrusFreak12 12 May | 23:17

omg. Does this donut place ship? If so, I know what I'm getting everyone for any occasion, forever.

posted by casarkos 12 May | 23:53

Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop has a giant donut too, but I don't know if it has a cool name like Tex-Ass. Probably not. I would like to have a giant Boston Creme, if doing the cake-as-donut thing.

Yeah, but I need to research the implications before I jump—I've got a lot of existing links to photos, and I need to be 100% sure that those won't break upon a nick change, or else it'd be a real nightmare. And I haven't done that homework yet because, honestly: booooring.

And of course, CF. Mi fista su casa.
