Col Jessep: You can't handle the !

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for [Krispy Kreme], and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that [Krispy Kreme's 24 hour closing], while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall -- you need me on that wall.

We use words like "honor," "code," "loyalty." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand the post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

LTJG Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?

Col Jessep: I did the job --

LTJG Kaffee: -- Did you order the Code Red?!

Col Jessep: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!

Krispy Kreme Ireland forced to close 24-hour drive-thru because people wouldn't stop honking their horns

CARL KINSELLA

Nobody could have anticipated this.

Krispy Kreme Ireland has been forced to change its opening hours after its 24-hour drive-thru led to major noise complaints from the residents of the Blanchardstown area.

Problems arose when hours-long queues of cars lined up to buy doughnuts at the newly opened stores — and repeatedly honked their horns in their wild excitement for doughnuts, causing disturbance in the area.

On Wednesday, Krispy Kreme has announced several changes in order to mitigate Ireland's unforeseen and seemingly uncontrollable hunger for doughnuts.

Richard Cheshire, CEO of Krispy Kreme UK and Ireland said: "We anticipated a warm welcome for Krispy Kreme in Ireland and have long wanted to open a store here, but the response has been way ahead of our most optimistic expectations. For the customers coming into our store in Blanchardstown, the smiles and joy have been great to see.

"For the most part too, our drive thru has been a success. But we know that the late-night noise has been an upset for our neighbours. Some customers have been beeping their horns and disturbing families in nearby apartment complexes. Most importantly, we are saying to our neighbours, we’ve listened and we’re making changes immediately.

  • Closing of our 24hr drive thru which will now be open between the hours of 6am and 11.30pm.
  • Continuation of our Traffic Management Action Team who have been working night and day to examine alternative options in relation to late night queue management that allows customers to enjoy our doughnuts without impacting local residents.
  • Ongoing discussions with Fingal County Council, Blanchardstown Centre Management, local Garda Traffic Corp and Community Liaison with regard to options for consideration.
  • Commitment to working with the Gardaí, Local Councillors and the Blanchardstown Centre Management to find a long term solution that works for everyone."

The store has been open for exactly one week today.

'Merica has had Krispy Kremes for over 8 decades now with over 300 stores in the United States. But as soon as they put a single store in Ireland, those Irish Tigers just can't handle it!

Also on the subject of dough with holes, on Feb 2018 the Unicode Consortium announced we are going to get a bagel emoji. It is the responsibility of each the platforms (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Samsung, etc) to design their own emoji. Have you see the travesty that some of the companies have chosen for the finalist of their bagel emoji?
