Friday Freaks
It's one of those hot summer days in Dallas that make me a little bit stir crazy. Here's some fun things:
Mmm, Donuts
Guess what the only commercial endorsement Elvis Presley ever did? For Southern Maid Donuts - Jelly Donuts. If you love donuts, live in Dallas and want to support a great cause, why not enter the United Cerebral Palsy/Southern Maid Donuts “Jelly Jam” Jelly Donut Eating Contest
When: Saturday, Aug. 11, 2007 at 10:30 a.m.
Where: West Village (Blackburn and Cole, across from Tom Tom Noodle House), 3699 McKinney Ave., Dallas, TX 75204
Why: To support United Cerebral Palsy’s 12th annual Elvis Run on Aug. 18, 2007 at 8 a.m. at Reverchon Park in Dallas, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death (on Aug. 16, 1977). All proceeds from the Elvis Run will benefit UCP’s programs and services for children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
Details: Contestants will race to eat the most jelly donuts – Elvis’ favorite – in 2 minutes.
Free donuts donated by Southern Maid Donuts and free coffee donated by Starbucks will be available to those in attendance.
Bonus points if you win both the donut eating contest AND the run.
And now for something completely different....
Cat Stampede
- Paul Herring
Love the post, but the video kind of showcases some animal cruelty, doesn't it? Having had a cat for years as a kid, I can tell you that they only jump for food like that when they are very very hungry.
