My favorite part about Krispy Kreme is the free hot donut with purchase. (When the sign is lit, anyway.)
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Jelly donut!
So that's how it's called in English. That's the new thing I've learned today.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm not a donut girl, but I'll probably make pancakes this morning. My FiL is here, although really the pancakes are for Franny.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Also memorable because it's what Kennedy loudly announced himself to be to the citizens of Berlin due to a flub with German translation.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Ich bin ein Berliner" != "I am a citizen of Berlin"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I love this one! He meant to say "I'm a Berliner," like "I'm one of you." Except in Berlin, a berliner is a jelly donut, so you have to say "Ich bin Berliner" to mean a person and he said "Ich bin ein Berliner," calling himself a donut.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Not so different from saying "I am a Danish"

It's sort of similar, syntactically, to saying "I am a Danish" as opposed to "I am Danish".
