Time to get rid of this shot, how many more people have to die at races before we stop closing ceremony roads for this shit?

2/6/2016 9:34:18 PM

Anybody got a name yet? My coworker and her husband were running it and she is right about 58-59 years old and AFAIK he is the same age!

2/6/2016 10:03:53 PM

Jeff "FaFa" Woods, per WRAL.

wral showing him in his classiest Bitches Be Trippin shirt in the article

2/7/2016 12:14:18 PM

Yea, not the guy I know, thankfully. He runs a lot and is Puerto Rican.

2/7/2016 12:56:24 PM

Running isn't good for you at that age. Amazes me that people do it anyway.

It's not like you're doing something unhealthy that's fun like eating bacon or drinking beer. You're running. One of the least enjoyable things in the world past age 9

I mean, people die in long distance races all the time...

2/8/2016 11:03:27 AM

I found this news on facebook trending yesterday. Pretty shocking.

2/8/2016 11:10:19 AM

A lot of other people also died while this was going on

2/8/2016 11:14:52 AM

2/9/2016 11:45:49 AM

How do u know they don't know shit about it

2/9/2016 11:58:49 AM

did you read what they wrote?

2/9/2016 12:32:18 PM

I was referring to the comments section in which they were saying he died after eating 2 donuts which would be impossible as he had not even reached the donuts yet

2/9/2016 12:58:42 PM

yeah that part too

2/9/2016 1:00:10 PM

god damn let me make unfunny jokes in peace... i mean a man died here

[Edited on February 9, 2016 at 1:09 PM. Reason : and no i didn't 'read' what the jezebel audience 'wrote']

2/9/2016 1:06:29 PM

So this probably won't ever happen again.

4/9/2018 7:18:21 PM

^ read they bough some other KK locations in others cities. Maybe they want to get involved in the doughnut industry.

4/9/2018 7:21:41 PM

Good. I don't want anybody else to die while running in the kk challenge

dumb bitch is filing a lawsuit because donuts aren't healthy

A few decades ago, "strawberry" on the label of a food item would have meant the food contains real strawberries, but with corporate greed and deception having reached record levels, as well as the mass dumbing down of society, that's not the case anymore. That's why [most] packaged/processed foods now carry statements such as...

Quote :

"Contains REAL strawberries!""

...if they contain, well, real strawberries, because otherwise, consumers wouldn't know if it was any different from a competitor which did not include the world "real". (Well, they could find out by reading the ingredients label, but most don't do that for one reason or another.)

But yes, she is definitely exceedingly ignorant for thinking that a donut would give her "proper nutrition" even if it did contain [real] fruit filling. Or she is just devious and wants to make money, which she won't, considering other similar suits against KK have been thrown out in the past.

I know, right! I can't believe I bought some pasta the other day and it didn't contain real hair from an angel

4/9/2018 9:59:07 PM

is this why they are shutting down that krispy kreme?

4/9/2018 11:06:59 PM

^^^you ever tried to milk an almond? Bitches won't hold still long enough to grab their tits.

4/9/2018 11:15:37 PM

lol how surprisingggg

4/10/2018 12:18:43 AM

they should make it the coopers bbq challenge now that kk is gone

4/10/2018 4:52:41 AM

See, this is why I don't exercise...

4/10/2018 8:53:13 AM

I read they paid $2 million more than the property was assessed for...

You don't pay that type of money if you're wanting to keep the current business up and running.

KK Challenge moving to Knightdale?

4/10/2018 9:24:10 AM

So the Krispy Kreme on Peace St is closing?

Why didn't the jackass that brought that up in the thread provide a news link?

I think your assessment here is inaccurate. Apparently Krispy Kreme has been liquidating land to and then leasing it back from this same company.

4/10/2018 9:55:18 AM

Quote :

"Broadstone paid more than double the total assessed value of around $2 million for the two parcels, which make up just under an acre of land. Broadstone KKD Portfolio LLC has bought a number of Krispy Kreme properties recently, including properties in Nashville, Tenn., and Chattanooga, Tenn., earlier this month. Read more here: http://www.heraldsun.com/news/business/article208325979.html#storylink=cpy"

I don't think it necessarily points to closing. The portfolio that bought it has purchased several KK locations.

I really thought we had great representation from the group of people highly familiar with multi-million dollar commercial real estate deals and what exactly they mean!
