The bagel [is] an unsweetened doughnut with rigor mortis.

i love bagels. i especially love them when... guess! no really, do it before reading on. could it be that i love them because they taste good with anything or you can eat them plain, or because they come in a variety of flavours (you all know how much i love selection), or because they are made in a unique manner. the truth my friends, is that all of the previously mentioned points are all very valid. but the truth -- the truth is... i like the holes. this especially tickles me when its a whole wheat bagel. a whole wheat bagel with a hole. a whole whole wheat bagel with a hole. holy, a whole whole wheat bagel with a hole...
i know what you are thinking, you are crazy er... errr, lying down! this is true. but it gets crazier! i like it when the holes are small. right now im having dirty thoughts but truly, its not a dirty topic. when its small you get a pocket of whatever your spread is! for example, when you spread cream cheese all over it, you get a little pocket of extra cream cheese! holy smokes batman!
