"The Doughnuts"
Yes yes yes, you all remember my epic quest to figure out what that movie was from my childhood. Thanks to Hicks, that mission was accomplished. I got the video (and I do mean video, VHS to be exact) from the local library and watched it. Made in the 60's. Yep. And from a book written in 1943. So.... did it hold up to that cruel mistress, The Test of Time? Nope. Not a damn bit of a chance. The doughnut machine was cool, for the 2 minutes of film (added up) it actually was the center of attention. Sigh. Some things are best left to memory, but I am glad I had a chance to see it again. I've attached a scan of the VHS cover just for fun (there were actually two films on this tape, the second one is some kinda odd something I didnt watch because I really was fearful of it, and I have no memory of it so it was better left safely unviewed). I was going to put "The Doughnuts" on DVD (and eventually onto youtube for others to enjoy) but since my DVD recorder no longer records, that's more complicated. I can move on now, fuzzy childhood memory now crystal clear.

I suggest you find the Episode of Monster Garage where they made a Doughnut Machine out of a Crown Victoria. I think it was a Crown Vic, definitely a cop car. Ah Monster Garage, you ran out of gimmicks far too early and still you insisted on making new episodes and even spawning a spinoff... Now if only Mythbusters would learn from your mistakes and fade off with some dignity left.
Edit, the Azure-caped Super Duper deserves a custom, make it so! |

I like mythbusters... but then I haven't had cable tv for almost 3 years now so I can't speak to the recent episodes. I get my video and news online (and soon Resolute too!) for free so why pay for 75 channels of nothing on? (yeah, I know I have to pay for internet, but at least there's always something I want!)

Eh, I don't watch it anymore either, seems to be mostly about blowing things up anymore with movie gimmick tie-ins.

Not until we get 1,000 posts!!! Come on Tankers! I've got it on no authority whatsoever from an unreliable source that I completely made up that Joel is waiting til we hit that magic number to unleash the 7s! (and he said that spamming doesn't count...)

I was just listening to a Classic Country station last night. Did not hear that one, but heard a lot of other oldies but goodies.

Personally I like: "I'm much too young to feel this dam* old."
And the additional verse: "That's why I collect G.I. Joes." I just wish I could get the tune right. |
