I-I-I’m in the parkin’ lot
Hittin’ donuts, donuts
As I write this post, much of the country is being hammered by snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
Everyone understands what snow is, but a lot of people don’t understand the distinction between sleet and freezing rain.
Fortunately, the internet provides a crystal-clear explanation of the difference:

That’s brilliant – after all, who doesn’t understand the difference between glazed donuts and donuts with sprinkles?

I don’t know who first thought of using a donuts graphic to illustrate how sleet and freezing rain differ, but he should have gotten a copyright on the idea because every television station in the country is using it.
Here are a few examples:

I’m a little late to the Jessie Murph party, but better late than never – it would have been a tragedy if my loyal 2 or 3 lines readers had missed out on the toothsome 21-year-old hip-hop/country artist.
2 or 3 lines is a big fan of Gucci Mane, who is featured on “Donuts” – which was released only a few months ago on Jessie’s second studio album, Sex Hysteria.
From Jem Aswad’s review of that album in Variety:
As the title suggests, the lyrics are NSFW and up-front: there are lots of songs about sex and lust and partying and, to quote one lyric directly, “You f*cking f*ck, f*ck you” (which takes up three of the album’s 36 f-bombs in five words). But they’re just as unsparing about the issues stemming from her “sh*tty father” and rough upbringing. The most harrowing of those, the deeply personal “Man That Came Back,” almost could be a Dixie Chicks song (and is the only one here that could even vaguely be considered country), while the opening “Gucci Mane” looks at the fallout from the daddy issues (“I know I love sh*tty men/They normally contribute to the state that I’m in”), even as it ends on a humorous note: “I’ll sample ‘Lemonade’ to make Gucci Mane proud.”
