just printed off two copies - to be placed on both my teenage daughters bedroom doors, with your just about making the bed highlighted in bright yellow …. also just turned the FD wall calendar to nov and laughed (again) and loudly to “i left my lunch in the fridge at home” getting mayonnaise on the remote contril will watching nigella on tv - price less!!
Contemplating whether, if I were a redundant doughnut, it would be worse being sold into slavery or scientology.
A tough call.
Zut - these guys need the Frying Nun to set up a charity with plent y of dough.
That one who’s going to drink in bed looks like Joe Hockey.
I’m afraid I missed the whole reign of KKs without ever delighting in them.
Will poffertjies be next?
Holden, this isn’t the first time you’ve mentioned the Flying/Frying Nun in despatches. Does this harken back to a teenage crush on the aviator’s patron saint, Sister Bertrill?
Toughy today, Firsty.
A Whole bunch of people out of a job - indeed bad. Diabetes-inducing seriously junk-food purveyor out of business - good.
BTW, It’s Movember - for raising funds for men’s mental health (Beyond Blue) - surely a major concern around the Dog-o-lounge and that other small concern that brings a tear to our boyish eyes (during the examination in particular) - prostate health.
Dogonauts unable to mustache it up in a good cause, or keen to support the cause can kick into the Pig’s Arms Team effort at http://au.movember.com/mospace/682486/
Thank you for your indulgence.
Be careful Dogonauts, I read this cartoon twice and am now hyperglycaemic.
HOLDEN B: Ouch!
Frame two: Is the orange one filled with strawberry jam?
If I was a doughnut about to be sold to Scientology, I’d find some finely ground rat-sack, roll in it, and be happy to die a virgin doughnut.
Zut and I have a special place for Sister Bertrille.
Michael M - thanks for the reminder about the calendar - and if FD and the other Croak-o-nauts could organise a piss-up in a pub, we’d be seeing the pre-season advertising for the Advent Calendar and the 2011 FD Calendar. Pump it up, dudes !
Christmas shopping awaits - and given the turn around time on the T-shirts (like ‘never’ for the one I ordered with the dog saying “are you going to eat all of that”), I’d say it was time for extracting the digits, now.
ZUT: Or perhaps Saint Jude?
Hmmm sometimes depression can cause one to eat fatty, sweet food such as doughnuts… So if the redundant doughnuts get depressed….
Poor out-of-work little doughnuts. What sort of bed would a Krispy Kreme doughnut have anyway? Tissue paper in a little white cardboard box with a liberal amount of icing sugar scattered about; or perhaps a tepid pool of deep frying oil. Both tough to make in the morning.
@Mike Jones. Ditto Sister Betrille & the “Are you going to eat that?” t-shirt. C’mon FD get the marketing and operations departments moving on the Xmas / New Year consumer opportunities.
@ Mike Jones. I will donate to your growth of luxurious white cloud. Managing depression and enabling healthy prostates are both good causes and I will get a vicarious experience of growing a mo’.
So is it the hat or the stern but indulgent older nun thing?
I wonder why there aren’t now prostate check caravans, like there used to be for breast screening?
The unemployment fallout spreads far wider than the immediate doughnut clan. My Entertainment Book has 3 now never-to-be-employed vouchers for free Krispy Kreme delights. The neighbouring Gloria Jean’s vouchers have tried to cheer them up but the bakery vouchers 2 pages over are being being quite cruel.
I love the cowardy-custard! The one running away from the chocolate doughnut, which is threatening and bad through and through I would say, yum, I stay away from those.
It is easier to stay away from donuts when one is redundant because one does not pass the bakery morning, noon and night, which is easier until the redundancy pay all runs out and down to the charity meal we go and there are donuts more than anybody has ever seen in their lives in one place at the one time (will somebody STOP that practice for once and for all).
Peter F - many thanks.
Holden. Hat for me……. but …..
I imagine the queues at the prostate check van would be pretty short - unless they had another van just up the road handing out sunglasses and false mo’s
In the US it is literally impossible to get hold of “Aussie style” donuts just dipped in castor sugar. I tried KK and Dunkin’ Donuts and nada. Icing sugar sure, but not castor sugar. So fug ‘em. Go home yanks and take the ‘hole bunch of fuggin’ fancy donuts with you.
I rather liked the insanely sweet standard Krispy Kreme donut’s glaze. But can’t eat em cos I’m diabetic.
