h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now now, what is all this about donuts? Do the number of donuts we eat reflect our social status or are the merely a communication device? Tell me, I would like to know, as a budding donut researcher!

All I know is that this is the best place on h2g2 to get doughnuts, the menu is extensive and the owner (or her assistant) is happy to provide any form of doughnut you require .....though the jury is still out on my cheese doughnut for dunking in tomato soup

I need a sugar fix having got to the end of the thread, I appear to have been right the regulars all turned up soon enough.

Hmmm. Number of doughnuts to donate social status, well I need a hit and I need it bad, An S12 with a side order S3 and L2 and a Blackberry Jam Doughnut for afters should see me through Monday afternoon, please.

Yeah, maybe you are right. But it would be wise to point out a donut guru, to consult us in case of donut dispute. Just in case, you know!

What King Fabels was talking about, was a parody on a Newzealand tribal habit. There a people called the Trobriands, actually pile fruits in order to climb on the social ladder.
The chief, having recieved many fruits (yams), will then have a nice hut built for him to store the fruit in.
Agression and warring tendencies are vented by exhibiting their pile of fruit. Quite the lifestyle, isn't it?

Well I'm happy just to socially interact with the other regualrs to this very well managed stall.

We seem to be a little short staffed today DD, I think its self-service on that order of yours. Tough morning?

KF you'll probably find a number of doughnut gurus round here but Joanna is top banana in this neck of the woods

Confusing symlpost! Wonder what DE would make of this one

Yeah probably is though I Didn't see the sign.

*DD serves himself his order*

Yeah tough morning and yesterday evening was trying to take out some unexplained lines across a number of pictures I was trying to print off as part of my Great uncle family tree. I tried eveything I could think of, rescanning, editing chnaging the effects nothing, it's just a couple of tham are spoiling the whole effect.

*Starts to devour doughnuts*

I've no idea but the movie has had a review in this weeks Post http://www.h2g2.com/U54963

Ok, let's be funny about donuts, but hey, donuts have less pleasant sides than the inside. One of them is that you can choke in one. I used to know a person who did. His last (legendary) words were ' I'll never eat donuts again!'.

Well if you're not here to buy why are you hassling those of us who enjoy our doughnuts and the pleasant conversation that used to exist around here.

Is it just me, or do none of the post articles want to load today?
At this point I'd remove the self service sign, but I forgot to put it up...
Donut anyone?

That's ok me and BS were helping ourselves anyway.

And it could be some time before DD gets through his monster order

As long as you're happy, DD

*Eats chocolate donut whilst waiting for next customer*

Splendid! Just in time for afternoon tea

Hmmm, can I get a ring doughnut with coffee icing?

I'm sorry if we seem to have offended anyone.
I could really use your most deliciously decadent whipped-cream covered chocolaty donut!

*Hands over ring donut with coffee icing.... coffee donut, in fact...*
Hows it going?
