Are you really implying that you are the "Psycho of the Month".If so,what does that say about me;because I love Patsy Cline.
I still think my #1 favorite has to be the topless donut shop in Ft.Lauderdale,Fla.,I use to frequent, as the real eye opener in the morning.lol

"Everybody's Psycho of the Month at Psycho Donuts!"

LOL, it means the chain shall be lowered, and the chair in the padded room is all yours, until Nurse Ratched pulls a late night striptease to Patsy Kline, giving you happy memories of a donut shop in Ft. Lauderdale.

Right before administering shock therapy...



I think Campbell's zoning ordinances allow for insanity, but not nudity. :(

Psycho donuts for all the mentally unstable - my kinda place.

They have just the spot too: beneath a big flat-screen T.V. is a cluster of chairs, with a sign to explain it is the "Group Therapy" corner. ;)

LOVE this concept. I am a KK (krispy kreme) addict myself...recovering ofc. = )

It's a very well thought out place. Perhaps they'd be up to consider franchising one day.

Meanwhile, for the most authentic donuts in the spirit of Krispy Kreme -- I mean ones which put Krispy to shame in their time-warped preservation of the 50s, down to their original decor, nothing beats Stan's of Santa Clara on Homestead, across from the library.

"I'm not an addict, I don't like doughnuts, I'm just here because have a Nurse's uniform fetish".
"So you are not buying anything."
"No, I'm here to look at you..."

-failed pick-up line at shop
-M

LOL. OK, the working pick-up line for Nurse Ratchet, in uniform, would be along the following lines.

"I'll take a half dozen."

"Of which sort?"

"Of these hanging on the wall to my right, along with the pleasure of your company over dinner. Just so long as we don't order dessert..."

It'll cost ya, but since when do escorts in nurses' fetish outfits come cheap anyways? Just don't Lewinsky the outfit.

I just want one ~ the half nut half coconut flake one will do!!

lmtlsao

And I take accept (ion) to hippie dippie!! ~ crookedy little smile ~

I'm a bipolar guy from U.C.S.C., ergo, I AM a "hippie-dippie duality" ;)

If I get one of these for you, I may have to keep it under lock and key until Sunday, lest it turn to crumbs in the middle of the night...

-- maniacal grin is simply too apropos ;)

ok you guys...can I just get a plain strawberry glazed one or is that just a little too un-exciting in this group...I mean maybe they could get a male nurse up in there!!! LOL ;)

I've seen photos of handsome young doctors on the padded wall to the left of the cash register, but nothing like a plain Jane strawberry glazed, or anything simple for that matter. If you follow the "donuts" link near the top of the blog, you will see how complicated their donuts get. They all have "issues." LOL.

(By the way, after your last remark to my Midnight post, I'm tempted to put one of the doctors in a straight-jacket, and serve you a plain strawberry glazed or whatever your heart desires my damn self ;)

huuuummmmm!!!!!!!!
;) and we will leave it at that!

LOL. So lady, what'll it be? Some of these special order strawberry thingamadings, or one of these, uh, provocative paintings, which would mean my having to deliver it to your place, say around 7:00? (Note response to Manasseh's comment above ;)

we have a Voodoo Doughnuts in portland they'll make you a doughnut shaped like anyone you want- so raspberry "blood" squirts out when you bite its head off.. and their bacon maple bar is killer..but I know what you mean- Insanity don't get no respect..

No respect indeed! Why, I outta order a dozen Voodoos to give to the misunderstood folks at Psycho, so the next time there's a crowd of protesters, they can all develop sudden neck pains or worse.

The very idea of bacon and donuts sounded nauseating at first, until I realized how inspired it was -- not from a cardiovascular point of view, but from the natural match between maple and bacon, often used in breakfast sausages.

So far, we have Voodoo Donuts in Portland, a strip club which sells donuts in Fort Lauderdale, and this asylum. I wonder what other donut havens are extant in this wonderfully creative and irreverent land of ours. I feel a travelogue coming on...

Oooh.ooooh....I need to change my place of employment....NOW!!!! xo :)

Kaybee. If you start working at Psycho Donuts, then Manasseh won't be the only one hitting on the nurses. Just tell Dr. Lim you'll be sure to double their sales with all the "...sugar, spice, and everything nice..." addicts showing up, who'll have to buy donuts just for a chance at chatting with you each morning.

Were I to work there, they'd just lock me up in the basement. "Research and Development, Dave. Well be back in a month or so..." ;)

You crack me up!

But would I get a staff discount? Do I give my 'faves' an extra donut? "Sugar, spice and everything nice?" But no hat for me, that's the deal.

Looks like I'd better start planning that resignation letter! Whooo Hoo! xo :)

Cracking up... Excellent! That will enhance your application considerably! There are no staff discounts on donuts, but they do qualify as over-the-counter medications which are reimbursable by the employee flexible medical spending account, and are therefore tax deductible. Your actual discount, then, will depend on your overall income and tax liability. (It'll drive you nuts just figuring it out).

Um, you give your "faves" "special" donuts, such as "The Ecstasy Pill" some blueberry glazed confection with lemon custard filling.

No hat? Fine, they'll make a doctor. ;)

As for belaboring a resignation letter, why bother? Just "go postal" one day at work in Oz. I'm sure they'll deport you straight to Psycho Donuts where you'd belong. LOL (That would be a 'maniacal LOL,' of course).

David - you think you can send us some over ? after saturday night I think I would like to try the massive head trauma one :P *hugs*

Angie, I would be more than happy to deliver a bouquet of assorted disorders and maladies, but only on the condition I can do so personally. Gen can "chaparone." Once your headache subsides, just click on the "Donuts" link above and pick out your delights.

Maybe I can get Bike Helmet to lend me his so you can wear it the next time you go out club hopping. Not as fetching as a straw hat, but ought to be better when you hit the pavement after a bit too much bubbly and cosmos.

Hugs, and welcomes home.

Oh my goodness!! This too funny! You think I could get them to conjur up a special order request? Like "Hello see me roar" w extra icing? :D. Stitches!! Lol!

The closest they would likely do, thematically, would be a "primal scream therapy" pastry. Probably based on a cinnamon roll which was partially unrolled and liberally doused with icing and raisons. Just a hunch, but being bipolar gives me some insight. ;)

Me likes! :D sounds good actually.

I should have said "Kir Royales" not "Cosmos." ;)

I'm mentally unstable. I wear odd socks and rock when I laugh. Cart me to Psycho donuts.Lol

Wait, let me do a search on PsychMeOut.com... Yep. "Mixed socks -- indicative of either a split personality disoder, bipolar condition (esp. when socks are green and red), or suffering from a severe form of commitment phobia (see "My Last Boyfriend and his Schizophrenic Undergarments" by Ivanna Dumphimovitch)." Yeah, you need to be carted off for at least a few jelly filled moments of therapy. Just keep the rocking when you laugh to yourself, or they'll shut you into the padded room while you nibble on your Head Traumas. ;)

David, I loved this post and am still laughing at Pastor Mike's comment about insanity getting no respect! You guys are nuts and crack me up! Cart me away to donutland, I'm ready for my close up :) Go, Patsy!

Ah! Another candidate for group therapy! (See my comment above to Tony51203). Pastor Mike knows how to speak from the heart, and he knows his donuts too. We'll be ready for your close-up, complete with numbered necklace bling, just as soon as the straps are cinched on your strait-jacket. Quit having seizures while we're trying to do this! What, you want another injection or something? lol.




Patsy is phenomenal. This song is such a classic, and her vocals are so composed and melodic, I felt it underscored the overarching point, that this needn't be construed as any insult to insanity, or as an insult to those suffering from mental disabilities (like my bipolar disorder -- apparently, that can be a bona fide disability. For instance, if any employer fired or discriminated against me because of it, I could throw a party, invite all my lawyer friends, and draw lots to see which of them would sue on my behalf). Patsy's soulful croon invites nothing but compassion, and an understanding that there's something a bit "crazy" in each of us, even if we don't have to take pills to stay normal. ;)

OK, they're coming to cart me away with you now, Ellie. Glad you loved the post!

you are a nut!
Did you get bike helmet head to join thoughts?

I resemble that remark! ;)

Doh! (a la Homer Simpson, donut aficionado and man of questionable stability) No. but, I have been promoting the article, which yields site traffic. Bit.ly currently resisters 18 hits on this article; 45 on the first one in the series. That's a conservative count, because each tends to be a multiplier. Plus, cross references on nbcbayarea.com and Digg.com bypass bit.ly's counters. There have also been twitter conversations about it. See @psychodonuts.

Wait'll my new business cards get delivered. I should have ordered more, but I'm still broke.
