The quote is from
http://www.charleston.net/stories/060903/spo_9locker.shtml which is
actually about a Braves' locker room jinx, but near the end included
this little story:

Wally Joyner ... once drove to Krispy Kreme without a word when [Greg]
Maddux saw Dunkin Donuts in the clubhouse and declared: "How do they
expect us to play like champions if they don't feed us like champions?"

Apparently no KK in the clubhouse during the World Series.

I determined on Friday night (not normally a big going-out night for me,
due to my inability to learn that I typically require more than 6 hours
of sleep per night the rest of the week, leaving me totally dead by
Friday) that 2 beers + 3 Krispy Kremes = Ross can stay up till 3:45 a.m.
without noticeable signs of exhaustion.

Seems to me that this might be extrapolated out to a variety of other
situations, like, I dunno, the Army or the space program or something.

Substitute diet coke for the beer, and throw in a good
dose of M&Ms, some Ruffles, and maybe some chocolate
chip cookies.

check it out.

What, and then throw up everywhere, and lie in a heap on the floor
twitching?

Caffeine is only allowed as a by-product of green tea, and you gotta cut
the sugar/grease with the alcohol. Balance in all things, grasshopper.

Silver Wok is the best (and cheapest) place to buy green tea. Just so
you know. They've got gunpowder and sencha in big bags, plus a nice
line of uncut black teas, and an awesome lavender tea straight from
China.

The kimchi is pretty good, too, and the noodle selection is immense --
buckwheat and egg and wheat, soba and somen and ramen and anything you
need.

That reminds me of a question that was asked of me recently by someone
who had just moved here: does anyone know a truly authentic Korean
grocery store in the Triangle? Not a Japanese or a Chinese store that
sells Korean stuff, but a place that sells only Korean foods. The
information will be much appreciated.

& don't forget the big rice-paper wrappers for the cold vietnamese

i'm pretty sure that the owners of Oriental Supermarket on Chapel Hill
Blvd. are Korean. they make their own kimchi too, which i think is
pretty fine. (i know one person who claims it's the best ever.) if i
remember correctly, they seem to have a higher-than-average stock of
Korean food items, but they also sell a lot of the same stuff as every
other Asian food store in the area. so i dunno.

speaking of all the Asian stores in the Triangle: i was just recently
turned on to the Grand Asia Market, which is in some crazy old mall in
what i was told was the "bad" part of Cary. (then again, people used
to tell me my apartment on McMasters St. was in the "ghetto" of Chapel
Hill... hmm.) man, oh, man - just awesome. the fresh and cheap
seafood, and take-out lunch counter make it an especially worthwhile
trip.

that part of cary abuts raleigh. i lived in some definitely ghetto apts
in raleigh that were a short bikeride through the neighborhood to that
mall, south hills, which used to be -the- mall in cary when i moved to
the triangle. now it's a collection of mostly local businesses. crazy!
anyway, the grand asia market is fabu all the way. i skip all the
oriental markets in durham to go to grand asia, and there's not many
things i'll drive that far for. grand asia has such an incredible array
of japanese junk foods that i just kind of melt walking the aisles. thai
villa at south hills is pretty great, too.

The "bad" part of Cary, eh? I think just the opposite. It's the only
worthwhile section of Cary. What with Grand Asia, Thai Villa, Northern
Tool, Hot Point, Burlington Coat Factory (not affiliated with Burlington
Industries), Lee's Tailor and Dry Cleaning; all within biking distance of
my house (though riding bicycles in Cary is dangerous). It rocks. South
Hills is the place.

And I saw a former 'KNC dj driving the Christmas Train inside the mall, so
it's gotta have cred.

that's what i'm saying! where the hell is the Pottery Barn for
Seniors? the McBarnes & Noble with coffee bar®? Eddie Restoration
Metropolitan & Co., a Hudson Company? crazy!

best ingredient list to date, on some kind of peanut brittle stuff: "
Penut, Sugar, Salt, Artificial Lusciousness."

Wow, that's kinda intense. I guess that's like what I
might do if I ate KK with beer, tho', so it's all
even.

no, no, no. Green tea is the only acceptable
*supplement* of caffeine.

OK, well, black tea, too.

Just no coffee or maté. The dose is too high.

But you know the body metabolizes etoh to sugar, so
that's actually increasing the sugar intake. So much
more efficient to take the str8 path, there, I think.

Oh, and I say the acids and carbonation in diet coke
slice through grease like a hot knife through butter.

> Balance in all things, grasshopper.

salt
sugar
grease
caffeine
chocolate

Hey! That looks like a pretty well-balanced pyramid
to me!

wha? i originally penned this ode to south hills in reply to marc,
whereupon in addition to grand asia and thai villa, i extolled the
virtues of burlington coat (huge selection of $3 silk boxers!), lee's
tailor, and the tv rental store where i got my last set of cats. yes,
cats at the tv rental store. anyway, i concluded my paean by saying
"south hills rocks. all the rest of you can go to southpoint." then i
deleted most of it because no one was gonna believe me if i told them
south hills rocks. but it does! it does! south hills rocks. it's the
anti-crossroads.

it used to rock a lot more when it had the roses where -all- the
checkout people would chronically undercharge for everything in the days
before bar codes and scanners. car stereo? $10. fishing rod and a whole
big pile of spinners? $5. weight lifting bench and complete set of
weights? $20. we used to have a hard time carrying all the roses booty
out to the car. i guess that explains the roses bankruptcy. but it was
sure fun while it lasted.

"Balance" from a man who just discovered he can stay up really late if he
OD's on sugar and "balances" it out with some beers ;)
