Circle Beats Square (donut)
« on: March 27, 2016, 11:40:45 AM »
Circle beats square, or something like that. I would say the chain has the legal high ground, but I think the mom and pop shop should start making pentagonal donuts, or possibly dodecahedron jelly donuts or bismarks. :)

Which ones taste better? Because clearly that is the only realistic way to solve the argument.

I volunteer to be a taste tester.

All they have to do is go trademark "The Original Square Doughnut". ;)

True, and I don't see why the debate about it torus up.

I see a hole in their argument.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Maybe the case will turn a corner but I see it just going around and around.

I think they have glazed over the real issues.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Do you need square cups to dunk 'em in?

That's a deal breaker right there.

Switch to triangles.  They can pack them in a box easier.

Of course, if they suck, it really doesn't matter what shape they are.

The first shop to make a D20 donut will definitely win their initiative roll.....

^ Twenty sides?  Just to be éclairé about it, that's not a donut any more, that's a dumpling.

But the hole is still round.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Yeah, but someone might want a donut they can play D&D with.

Those players eat Cheetos and live in their mom's basement.
