The Webmistress's Spell

'Twas a dark & stormy 5-bone night
  (+18, -1)(+18, -1)
(+18, -1)
  [vote for,
against]

Thrice the confus'd newbie mew’d.
Thrice and once, the troll-pig whin’d.
Baker cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!

Round about the ideas go;
In the poison’d fishbones throw...
October, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Sweltering and unsleeping sprot,
Bun thou first o’ the charm'd lot!

Double, double toil and trouble;
Hallowe'en, the fishbones double

Bed of Ladder and of Snake,
Late at night [hidden_truths] bake;
Idea of newt, and none by [Frog],
Almost anything by [lostdog],
[egnor]'s stuff, and [normzone]'s things,
Banjo leg, [froglet]’s toe ring,
For a charm against powerful trouble,
Like a vichysoisse, boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Hallowe'en, the fishbones double

Scale of stupid; search for [wolf];
[futurebird]'s Mommy, more to gulp
After ponytail fastener'd [Sparki];
Someone digg’d us i' the dark, eh;
Brings a crowd of loud buffoons;
Some who fishbone Hullaballoon
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;
Nose of [po], and [zen_tom]’s lips;
Finger of birth-strangled newb
Ditch-deliver’d by YouTube
Make the bun-dough thick and slab:
Add thereto [Rods Tiger]'s chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Hallowe'en, the fishbones double

Cool it with a newbie's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

       Is there a counterpart to record the amazing vision of five croissants by an idea?

       We bestow a pumpkin-flavoured orange-and-black pastry upon this ....

       It's buy one get two free day... however I suspect there will be tears at the end of all this, like the mythical lemmings heading for the cliff, I'm sure my swollen croissant larder will soon empty along with everyone elses.

       Look at it this way... the exchange rate for croissants has just halved.
UnaBubba, Oct 31 2008
  

       Croissant inflation! Before we know it everyone will be selling off their croissants and Jutta will require a C700bn bailout from Delice de France to prevent a loss of confidence in the bakery.

       OMG! The logo! It's a fullbakery!
wagster, Oct 31 2008
  

       It's a prime "sub" meltdown...   

       For many years, bakers have traded with reckless abandon. I am talking CDO's and CDO's squared (Custardised Delictable Offering), Contracts For Delicacies, Entree Traded Fondantes. These sorts of baking instruments are highly geared. Basically, we should have seen this coming.

       Tis true [wagster] - the Halfbakery is now the Whole Bakery! Just look at that croissant.... it's sorcery of the highest order. First the text swells up, then the croissants join them. I demand jam on my croissants AND melted butter AND chips with my shoals of fish!!!

       So, then, it looks like today is the day I must finally cast a vote towards the vagina jam.

       Given the 'dark & stormy night' reference, I feel a reproduction of the 2006, Bulwer-Lytton Prize winner would not be inappropriate here:-

"Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean."

       // Double, double toil and trouble
[marked-for-tagline], I hope you don't mind if I borrow that quote for a night...
  

       Happy Halloween!

       Happy halloween!

       My name in print! I'm somebody!

       This is fab - I was chuffed to see multi-buns on my old ideas.

       I'm pretty sure Willy The Bard's copyright has expired, [jutta].
UnaBubba, Oct 31 2008
  

       Its this damn inflation. Next week you'll need three buns for the same effect.
Voice, Oct 31 2008
  

       Beware the were-buns, my son. They only come out on one day of the year.
UnaBubba, Nov 01 2008
  

       The buns! Gone! The lovely extra buns! All gone!   

       <sobs>
wagster, Nov 01 2008
  

       Gitcha peeyatchforwok, Earl, we's goan' have us'ns a bun-burr-nan thang!

       //The buns! Gone! The lovely extra buns! All gone!//
...but the spell lingers on...+
xandram, Nov 02 2008
  

       Buns, I think ya'll been eating mushrooms, or something...
blissmiss, Nov 06 2008
  

       I think you may have been absent, [blissy].
