 </span></blockquote>boy am i glad you mentioned this mike<br/>
since lately any stray association anyone has with anything <br/>
anybody says about anything is considered within the <br/>
boundaries of our infinitely expanding bp universe<br/>
& i have been wanting to discuss dunkin donut tripoints for some <br/>
time now <br/>
but just couldnt imagine how to stuff them in without seeming <br/>
impertinent<br/>
<br/>
for tho it is usually easy enough to see the powdery boundary <br/>
between the donut & the air or the hand<br/>
nevertheless i have often found it extremely difficult if not <br/>
impossible to ascertain in advance the wet&dry boundary <br/>
between the jelly filling & its doughy enclosure<br/>
<br/>
fortunately however the trijunction of air & dough & jelly <br/>
aka the aidoje tripoint<br/>
is usually fairly well demarcated on dunkin donuts by that little <br/>
bung hole where the jelly issues from if you are not careful to bite <br/>
it at that precise point & suck some of the contents out before <br/>
they break thru & issue from the enclosure elsewhere<br/>
<br/>
now since practically everyone here likes to invent & talk about <br/>
what they are pleased to call border issues <br/>
as if these really were issues<br/>
i would just like to point out that in the case of the lemon flavored <br/>
dunkin donuts the filling is generally so thick that <br/>
no matter how hard or carefully one sucks <br/>
a burst of goo generally winds up issuing from an unexpected <br/>
location & getting all over your beard<br/>
& that is a real issue<br/>
<br/>
& they never give you enough napkins<br/>
<br/>
really dont you think everyone should be treated equally to <br/>
enough napkins whether they are an arab or not<br/>
<br/>
but i digress<br/>
<br/>
of course the border issue is greatly compounded if the donut is <br/>
a little stale<br/>
as dunkin donuts usually are<br/>
<br/>
interestingly<br/>
such unexpected new aidoje tripoints dont seem to occur quite <br/>
so easily with lemon krispy kremes or lemon tim hortons<br/>
evidently because they are usually fresher<br/>
<br/>
but since the photo files are already stuffed i wonder if any <br/>
member would scan their donut <br/>
carefully to be sure<br/>
& post the outline map directly <br/>
before we run out of messages too<br/>
which is to say any time before 10000 <br/>
if my prediction proves correct<br/>
<br/>
anyway i can hardly wait to find that out also<br/>
so regardless of whether anyone has the desired donut<br/>
i would just like to say thanx to all to picking up the pace so nicely<br/>
& i know we can go even faster if we really try<br/>
especially if we consider the holes of nonjelly donuts as claves<br/>
no less than the holes of the dunkin donuts bagels<br/>
which are often softer than the dunkin donuts donuts anyway<br/>
& regard nothing as too stale or beyond the pale</div>
