First: I like the buns and bones because it's quirky and
original and know they won't be changed. So why am I
putting this up? Sucker for punishment I guess.
Replacing the bone with a stone and a bun with a rose
would
invoke pictures of people getting stones or roses thrown
at
them, more
like what happens in real life and in
keeping
with long and dignified traditions eh?
Of course people like their buns and bones so the user
could
elect to customize their own personal graphics to their
tastes.
I'm sure the owner of this site would love the extra work
required.

Bones are made of a variety of apatite, so in a way they're already stones, and you could imagine the croissants are made using rosewater. In fact, i might even try that (though it'd be a recipe). |
|
|
See? To those who hate this idea, wouldn't you
rather throw a rock? |
|
|
Actually that seems kind of mean. Here, I'll bone this
idea too. |
|
|
That doctorremulac3 guy wants to mess with
tradition! Let's get em! |
|
|
In my eternal quest to become a martyr I'm
supporting this idea. |
|
|
Ok, I'll change my vote to pro but subject to how the
crowd moves on this. |
|
|
Not enough! Must have a script that s/croissant/rose/;
s/bun/bouquet/; s/pastry/floral tribute/ .... |

A bone from max? Boy, you could have knocked me
down
with a feather. |
|
|
Nothing personal. It's just that I like the quirkiness of buns
and bones. (Actually, I just realized that I forgot to deposit
my bone. But now you mention it....sorry.) |
|
|
Well, as I stated, I agree, but sometimes it's fun to
shoot an idea out there like a clay pigeon. |

|

You throw up your own idea as a clay pigeon. [+]
Then, boned it? [-] Or did you? [ ] What? |
|
|
Actually, all ideas posted at the HB could be
considered clay pigeons, I think. You post an idea,
and someone says, "Pull!" (Who the hell is that,
anyway?) |
|
|
The great thing about the croissant/fish combination is the
smell/taste association. Now you could have cake/dog poo as
an alternative, but why change such a successful icon
combo? |
|
|
Maybe the bakesperson will share with us the inspiration that was behind the fishbone/croissant icons. |
|
|
Did stage performers ever get stones? Jeez, tough crowd. |
|
|
//whatever happened to Inspiral Carpets?//
Still touring. Saw them a couple of years ago.
//More like what happens in the real world.//
There's already more than enough real world to go round. I don't think that we need any more of it, frankly. |
|
|
//the bun was bakery fodder // |
|
|
Yeah. If we adopted the new scheme, the site would
become the Halfstonery. |
|
|
Hey, I forgot about this. How come it's not showing
up on the Halfbakery list when I open it? I had to use
the search window to find it. |
