Goofy new attraction for Doughnut Day

Blog Guy, did I read someplace that your Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shop is turning into a wax museum as well?
Well, not exactly, but in the tourist entertainment business it’s a fact of life that you have to have a couple of wax figures, just to pull the hayseeds in off the streets.
Warm doughnuts and goofy faces aren’t enough anymore?
Sadly, apparently not. So I got a very good deal on a wax Paul McCartney and Barack Obama.
Why were they such a bargain?
Just look at them! They’re horrible! No facial expressions, no life, they might as well have WAX stamped on their foreheads.
We put them face-to-face in our museum just for fun, as if they met but couldn’t think of anything to say to each other. Oh well, the stupid tourists seem to love it.
By the way, isn’t there something you want to say to me today?
YES! HAPPY NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY, BLOG GUY!
Thanks, you remembered! Mention this blog at the museum today, and get a free doughnut made fresh within the past week or so.

I cant find a Tim Horton’s here… never heard of it…
I am runninng to the bakery though, be right back with a stack of donuts!
“Feeling holey? Joing the Oddly Enough blog network!”
Extra sprinkles, please. run, Shra, run!
@Cam: LOL good one
Bet you could stack the doughnuts on their heads in celebration of the day! Tourists could then by a doughnut from the Head of State…
Read it is also “Hug Your Cat” day. No pets where I live; though I do help out my friends with pets. The thought of hugging that cat would have me runnning for extra medi donughts before my eyes were scratched out.
Hug Your Cat day? If I did that my cat would scratch the life outta me!! Sheesh, who the heck thought that one up?!
So I know it’s an American ‘holiday’ and I’m Canadian living in Ireland, but heck I’ll celebrate!! Couldn’t get a boston cream but got a chocolate glaze with chocolate sprinkles doughnuts (added a few extra ‘sprinkles’ of my own
). I am soooooo happy! Especially as it’s a Tim’s. You cannot imagine my glee when Tim Horton’s started showing up in Dublin!!!
Happy Doughnut Day everyone! Eat and be merry!
E.
justCAM, spot on mate!
So I work across from a Dunkin Donuts and my co-worker had some gift certificates. It’s a doughnut-rific day!
And I dunno… the POTUS and Mr. McCartney look quite happy to see each other. See how they are looking longingly into each others eyes?
My kids found out about the “Hug Your Cat” day and dared me to hug our 22 lb Maine Coon Cat, Little One. Actually, I’m the only one in the family that he’ll put up with that kind of treatment from, so I gave it a shot. He let me live, with only flesh wounds for my sins.
Awesome news Jazz!! Might try it when I get home to Etcetera tonight. He may be in a mood to let me hug him. Actually he had me in stitches the other morning when I woke up to find him moving around on the bed, I thought he was under the duvet but I lifted the duvet and nope…wasn’t there. So I looked on top of the duvet and nope…wasn’t there. But he was clearly moving on the bed!! Turns out he’d crawled INTO the duvet cover (between the buttons) and the poor dear was looking for a way out!
E.
LOL!!!! That is just awesome! Hey, E, remember, he let me hold him!!! Yeahhh!!!! My hug was much in advance to today though…
Mr. Obama is the only person I have ever heard say they felt ‘intensely angry’ and were ‘furious’ and yet sound bored and dis-interested while saying it.
He’s a robot!
Make him take the Turing test, I say.
Obviously I’m all confused again. Here was me thinking it was ‘hug your donut day’.
Probably explains why I can’t find a Dunkin’ Cats store anyplace.
Were you Unca… were you really joking?
