Incongruous mumbo jumbo cavorting on a senseless path…

Today is World Donuts Day. In case you didn’t know. To commemorate this important day in our calendars, I decided to conduct a survey on the effects of Donuts on everyday America. To make my survey a little simpler, I came up with what I thought were the top 10 areas where Donuts have had major effects. So here are the results of this very important survey.
Happy Donuts Day!

It may be too early. It may be really too early. But I just couldn’t avoid feeling a bit dazed looking at the Republican Presidential hopefuls for 2012.
I am sure the Republican primaries and caucuses will be very interesting to watch as the final field of candidates starts its campaign and as candidates continue to drop out one by one before the convention.
In that context, I thought I would pick the most prominent hopefuls that are in the fray as of now (there may be 4-6 more hopefuls whom I have not included because they are not too prominent yet) and create a decision tree. And just to add some humor, I have tried to list the Top 3 things that come to one’s mind when they think of a particular candidate.
Suggestions to add more spice to this are welcome.

Phil wakes up..He is severely hungover. It takes him a few seconds to actually figure out that he has no idea where he is.
Alan wakes up. Also with a hangover. Runs into a strange animal inside the room/house they were sleeping till at that moment. Stu wakes up and he soon realizes that something on his face has been compromised. And..then they all accept the fact that they are hungover and don’t remember a thing from the previous night. They set out to figure out what exactly happened.
They try to recreate previous night’s happenings through a series of clues they obtain on their own or through others who they meet.
Wait! They are missing one of their companions. He must be kidnapped. Right? Sure.
Bring on that crazy Asian guy. Mr. Chow. Yes, he is weird. But he can make you laugh with his antics. He does just that. Of course, he gets chased by his own set of enemies while Phil, Alan and Stu try to rescue their kidnapped companion. Alan continues to charm himself while annoy others with his extreme sense of self self-righteousness, which doesn’t impress the rest one bit. Not one bit.
All this, while Stu quite shamefully is running late for his own wedding and as Stu’s fiancee, Phil’s wife and Doug’s wife angrily wait for their guys in a hotel.
If this plot reminds of you of “The Hangover”, don’t worry – this is exactly the same plot for “The Hangover II” as well. Just that the plot unfolds in Thailand versus Las Vegas, as it did in the former.
But if you are like me, a fan of the original, then I am sure you will be able to go home satisfied. The original (Part I) pretty much created a new genre of comedy movies for the decade. Which makes the job of Part II all the more difficult. If it doesn’t fit into the same genre, then most fans could trash it. If it doesn’t follow a similar plot, then the director runs the risk of resetting his fans’ expectations. So, I am pretty convinced that Todd Philips took the most logical route and delivered, what I thought was a worthy sequel to the original.
Certainly, the original would be ranked higher than the sequel by most fans of the franchise. But that doesn’t take away any credit Part II truly deserves.
“I wish monkeys could skype….May be, one day”! - Zach Galifianakis, as Alan, utters the funniest line of the movie..

Every time I come to Orlando, I notice that there is nothing much that has changed. But then, for a Michigander, the sight of Orlando is itself a welcome change.

I will give some benefit of doubt to the guy who came up with the idea. May be he really wanted to mix some good message related to road safety along with his usual frantic call to the fellow citizens of his town. Now if this whole honking thing itself is as ‘unevolved’ an idea as Donald Trump pointing out that Robert De Niro is not necessarily an Einstein, then the way the Church Billboard guy phrased it, it sure makes Texting while driving a sure shot method to get to God quickly. This is from a church in Alabama.

While I was ready to publish this post, I had a crazy idea to do some research on my new found ‘theme’. So the first think I did was to go to Google. Then my first step brought me this…
I actually found this church through Google..
Then more…
Medium or Rare? Well done Please.
What? Is the suggestion then to kiss a Boy in order to go to heaven?
Yes. Free Coffee sounds like a great deal.
Ok. No Comments.
This one is actually brilliant!
How many days of free trial period do I have?
Note: Please be seeing the humorous side of this post and not troll me for no reason. Thank you.

You are gone.
When thousands of peaceful protesters call you an evil Dictator who exploited the country for 30 years to build your own wealth and when the history of how you gradually let corruption spread through all levels of your government starts becoming everyday coffee table news for families around the globe, then you should really be afraid of your life, when you start seeing images of Tahrir square being superimposed with Tiananmen square . No matter, even if the country in question is Egypt and you happen to be Hosni Mubarak.
The writing becomes more and more imminently clear on the wall. Listen, 18 days of world media coverage, 1 Google martyr executive, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck starting to talk about Egyptian politics and what is good for your country – you know how bad a combination all of the above is? But you just couldn’t read the sign on the wall and couldn’t comprehend the reality of the situation. Could you? May be because you are 82. Even when the whole world waited with bated breath on Feb 10 expecting you to step down, you appeared on National TV, not an oz. of your ego deflated, spoke with the same control you have always had and did what? You patronized the protesters and tried to give them some patriotic lesson, thus giving a long winded speech with no end, pretty much saying everything that the protesters didn’t want to hear from you and the world was hoping not to witness live on satellite TV. What were you thinking? The conspiracy theorists formulated many theories including a theory claiming that your speech was actually a bait – a bait for the protesters. The theory claims that with that speech on Feb 10, You were actually hoping to cause chaos and bloodshed , which you could use to turn the whole world against the protesters, giving you a freehand in launching a wide massacre…eventually leaving you, your power and your money in tact.
Not even 24 hours. Not enough time for 1000 conspiracy theories to come out and to get dissected.
And then, today, they say you quit. Your VP says say you are gone. Even my son asked me if you stepped down. And I even heard someone from your military say that you have gone to get a tan. Really?
That I am sure is the first of its kind “mankind milestone” for Egyptians and also for us, the modern day world citizens.
As a side note, unfortunately, the Obama administration is not going to get as much credit as it deserves for handling the Egyptian situation. The conservative politicians in America will look for reasons to link Hussein (middle name of the President) with the Muslim brotherhood and fabricate stories to scare the dirty matter out of mostly single track and simple minded Americans. Of course, Fox News will chip in and add fuel to this dangerous fire. The Obama administration just has to hope that there is some new news that takes over the Egyptian crisis soon. Preferably some “new good news”…

I think what all most protesters in Egypt want is this – Peaceful Change. But Change never the less…
