My favorite part about Krispy Kreme is the free hot donut with purchase. (When the sign is lit, anyway.)
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

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

The status is NOT quo.
I am a freak who doesn't like donuts.

Um, what did he try to say?

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"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's sort of similar, syntactically, to saying "I am a Danish" as opposed to "I am Danish".
