"KickAss Cupcakes" - should have a new name!!!

Now if you have the cojones to call your cupcakes "KickAss" don't you think there should be a shred of that bravado in the product?

I heard about KickAss Cupcakes from a friend and the name was so enticing, that I couldn't wait to check it out. I've had delicious cupcakes from the hot spots in NYC and had hoped that this was a local-neighborhood spot that could rival those cupcake Meccas.

OK, so which one of you is going to try to set a record for most iced coffees consumed in one day?

Jason reminds us that today is Free Iced Coffee Day at your local Dunkin' Donuts, all 63 gazillion of them:

... Usually I don't hit up these free events (free cone day, free burrito day) because it just seems like too much of a hassle to receive a free item of nominal value. I suppose part of the charm is community - waiting with others also seeking free stuff. But the lines usually offset the value, and I can't get myself to wait thirty minutes for a scoop of ice cream.

But this is different. There are Dunkin Donuts everywhere. I can't imagine that all of them will have long lines for the full twelve hours of the promotion. ...

Bag it, buddy

Jim Sullivan threatens to go postal the next time a supermarket bagger asks him if he wants his milk in a bag:

... Why is it that milk is the only thing the bagger at the supermarket won't automatically put in a bag? If you buy laundry detergent, it gets put in a bag. A bottle of dishwashing liquid? Into a bag it goes. Every other thing that comes in a bottle or jar finds itself in a bag after checkout. Cream - which is just milk with a college education - gets put in a bag. Hell, if you buy some paper bags, they put the paper bags into a bag. The only thing they don't automatically put into a bag is milk. Why? ...
