3. Mmmmmmm... Donuts!

[snooper2]

5. I stopped at #1 since it is wrong- You can eat the same donut twice

I guess Heraclitus never got the opportunity to vomit

[rhett o rick]

6. Heraclitus would argue that it would not be the same donut. The shape is different,

the smell, the taste, etc., therefore it's not the same.

9. It's not just different

It's topologically challenged.

[rhett o rick]

20. But of course. Why didn't I think of that? nm

[mindwalker_i]

36. Probably because you're not insane

Reading about quantum mechanics has definitely shifted me into the twilight zone

10. Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird (your post made me think of this)

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird




By Wallace Stevens


I

Among twenty snowy mountains,

The only moving thing

Was the eye of the blackbird.


II

I was of three minds,

Like a tree

In which there are three blackbirds.


III

The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.

It was a small part of the pantomime.


IV

A man and a woman

Are one.

A man and a woman and a blackbird

Are one.


V

I do not know which to prefer,

The beauty of inflections

Or the beauty of innuendoes,

The blackbird whistling

Or just after.


VI

Icicles filled the long window

With barbaric glass.

The shadow of the blackbird

Crossed it, to and fro.

The mood

Traced in the shadow

An indecipherable cause.


VII

O thin men of Haddam,

Why do you imagine golden birds?

Do you not see how the blackbird

Walks around the feet

Of the women about you?


VIII

I know noble accents

And lucid, inescapable rhythms;

But I know, too,

That the blackbird is involved

In what I know.


IX

When the blackbird flew out of sight,

It marked the edge

Of one of many circles.


X

At the sight of blackbirds

Flying in a green light,

Even the bawds of euphony

Would cry out sharply.


XI

He rode over Connecticut

In a glass coach.

Once, a fear pierced him,

In that he mistook

The shadow of his equipage

For blackbirds.


XII

The river is moving.

The blackbird must be flying.


XIII

It was evening all afternoon.

It was snowing

And it was going to snow.

The blackbird sat

In the cedar-limbs

11. When you gaze long enough into the donut hole, the donut hole will gaze back into you.

That's why jelly donuts are a lot less creepy.

[pinboy3niner]

13. A donut? I don 't think...

Oops!

[rhett o rick]

24. And of course the earlier years: "Descartes walks into a bar and the bartender asks

if he wants a beer. Descartes says "I think not." and promptly disappears.

An old one, but apropos.

15. Hobbes

In a state of nature life would be nasty, brutish, and short - but a life without donuts would be crueller.

32. I'm starving

and the last thing I want is a doughnut.

God grant me TACOS! BURRITOS!

I'd settle for the little cup of Pintos and Cheese from Taco Bell.

(Seriously I haven't eaten all day and I WILL drive a bulldozer or a forklift through Taco Bell's drive-through window if necessary).

39. So the patriarchy is responsible for something good for once?

Doughnuts usually have holes or get filled with something so they are probably feminine pastries. mmm..they seem so sweet and delicious yet so bad for you....
