Donuts roundly considered

I think we should all stop what we are doing, take off our shoes, and direct all the energies of our civilization toward donuts. Farmers should only plant donut-related crops, such as wheat, sugar beets or pink or green jimmies. Our schools should become havens of donut lore. Large donut-shaped places of worship should rise in our plains, where a priestly class will serve consecrated donuts.

I really don't see what it could hurt. Later on, when we tire of donuts, we could worship death. Or maybe termites.

In the interests of efficiency, I say we should worship dead termites.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

Efficiency is interesting. It promises to whoosh you to your destination all the quicker, thereby increasing the available time for thumb-twiddling once you arrive. I am more drawn to the idea of starting with the twiddling right off and dispensing with the journey altogether, except as it fits conveniently into the interstices between twiddles.

It occurs to me this instant that, since we are all bound to die sooner or later the most efficient life possible would be the one that ended soonest, thereby producing its end product as rapidly as could be.

Alternatively, we could fry the dead termites in hot fat, then roll them in powdered sugar and then say a quick little prayer to them before eating them.

Nutritious and religious!

If Christianity proves anything, it's that people like their gods to have a bit of crunch when they bite in.

I'm perfectly happy to be theophagous until I have to pull little wings out from between my teeth.

Clearly I have been missing out on a board of love.

Mr. Baguette, the 'Random' button exists for those who dare to dare. You are welcome to browse upon us as the beast of the field browses upon the succulent buttercups and produces thereby cream the subtle hue of thoughts. Mind the manure.

― Aimless (Aimless), Thursday, 5 May 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, sorry about that.

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 5 May 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Do the drunks celebrate the election or not?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 May 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

I celebrate each and every erection like it might be the last.

― Ðµdë §téè£ (Ðµdë §téè£), Friday, 6 May 2005 01:28 (twenty years ago)

I must bow before this awesome display.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 May 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

Oh my! Mr Raggett has come to visit! I'd have dressed up a bit if I'd known.

― C J (C J), Friday, 6 May 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

But you are unruly! And besides, being most salacious, I find dressing down to be perfectly acceptable.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 May 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Straighten that cravat at once, man. Ths is Ask a Drunk, not Boodles on the Strand.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 7 May 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

I will have no fiendish protests against my whims.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 May 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Pay no attention to Matt, Mr. Raggs. He is a panhandler in a froghouse.

― Dunnow, Sunday, 8 May 2005 01:31 (twenty years ago)

As was my father before me, and his father after him. And all their cravats were immaculate.

Never hunt or fish without one.

― Mister Fuss, Sunday, 8 May 2005 12:29 (twenty years ago)

I suspect, Sir, that you are an American. Americans "fish".

British sportspersons, engaged in the pursuit of Osteichthyes using line and hook, are "anglers".

― Rod Holding, Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps Americans mostly drown.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

Here in Erewhon, we use them for carp bait.

― Sammy, Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

"As was my father before me, and his father after him."

Is that a koan?

― Cousin Hoshi Fallaize, Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

What is the sound of one donut being powdered with sugar?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 May 2005 14:01 (twenty years ago)

Mu!

― Hoshi, Sunday, 8 May 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Cousin Hoshi? Oh christ, there's another branch of the family I have to feel guilty about not keeping in touch with.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 8 May 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

You are forgiven, exonerated, given the nod, ect..

The Asian Fallaize, tend to be quite secretive. The name, written in kanji, translates as "He who fries frogs."

The "Fallaize", aka "frog cookers" are revered in Asian culture.

If you, Matthew, should ever tire of your mundane existence in mundane Ormskirk and go to Asia and learn to milk goats with your distant kin...

Approach the border. Smile. Raise your hands. RUN! SCREAM! "I'M A FALLAIZE!"

You will either be machine-gunned to death or welcomed with open arms.

― Hoshi, Sunday, 8 May 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

Goats are not milked in Asia. The bride's father is milked for all the goats he can offer up as dowry to rid himself of the unpleasent and lazy thing he spawned so many years ago, when releasing milk of a different kind.

― electricsound, Friday, 4 April 2008 06:27 (seventeen years ago)

Jim, that's heart-rending.

― Michael White, Friday, 4 April 2008 14:43 (seventeen years ago)

this is a wonderful threadstart from aimless thanking u bro

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 4 April 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

This is my cue to awkwardky entwine my legs at the ankle, lower my gaze to my shoes and blushingly murmur, "Aw, shucks."

Je refuse. The last time I did this I fell down. Luckily for me I fell flat on my face, so the damage was limited.

― Aimless, Saturday, 5 April 2008 18:23 (seventeen years ago)

That's what you say! We had to re-grade that entire section of the driveway.

― Michael White, Monday, 7 April 2008 18:57 (seventeen years ago)

Which was, of course, the problem, if you hadn't been so relentlessly insistent on paving the driveway with snuff in the first case then the whole thing would have blown over with minimum embarassment.
