Tour De Donut

The 24th Annual Tour De Donut in Staunton, IL is scheduled to take place on July 14th.  Last year the winner ate 38 donuts. Luckily, the Staunton Ambulance service is standing by. From the website:

The “Tour de Donut” bicycle race is a spoof on the “Tour de France.” From the mass start, the approximately 32 mile route follows lightly traveled roads over rolling terrain. Riders must stop at two checkpoint stations (donut stops). While donut consumption is not mandatory, the rider is awarded a five (5) minute time credit for EACH donut eaten. Yum!

Borderlands 2

Lots of news recently on the upcoming release of Borderlands 2. Play the song below at your own risk Borderlands fans. I’m sorely tempted now to fire up my Siren tonight and give Crawmerax and Moxxi another shot.
