The Turing Misadventures: Part 2 - The Huggles Doughnut Conundrum

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- Late last year, a number of clowns gathered for dinner amidst much pandemonium. St Vandoofus, Darth Teddy, Timmy, The Monster and Her Royal Highness were among the assembled contingent. Kahuna was notably absent from the proceedings citing a suspicious and completely unverifiable prior engagement.

Given the already high Clown Factor, the event had rapidly descended into madness when the topic of conversation had been hijacked by known deviant Timmy and taken, kicking and screaming, into a candidly anatomical discussion of Huggles. At least of the more interesting parts of Huggles. While Huggles, blissfully asleep down under was unaware of his rising popularity at the time, Her Royal Highness had not been amused by the topic of conversation and had offered stiff resistance. However, not unsurprisingly, the prurient interest had prevailed and the highly questionable use of doughnuts had been proposed by Timmy as a unit of measurement of the length of the male endowment. The precise doughnut number for Huggles had not been accurately deduced despite a rather uplifting discussion. Nonetheless, there had been broad consensus that this would indeed be a large number.

Several weeks afterward, just prior to his arrival in this part of the world, Huggles was told of the doughnut conundrum by Kahuna. Being a large clown and unaware of his own doughnut number, Huggles made inquiries from Kahuna. This led to a hurried consultation between Kahuna and St Vandoofus:

Kahuna (K): Huggles wants to know how many doughnuts.
Vandoofus (V): Depends on the width of the doughnut.
K: In international standard doughnuts?
V: Also depends on the cream filling.
K: In the doughnut?
V: Yes.

It quickly became obvious that not even a team of huskies enticed by an extra ration of stew could have salvaged that conversation. Huggles had to contend with disappointment.

During a subsequent dinner at Chutney's mooted by Her Royal Highness to celebrate Huggles's birthday, Kahuna caused chaos by arranging the supply of doughnuts to the venue. Due to an apparent topological malfunction at the bakery, some of the doughnuts arrived as non-toroidal manifolds causing further chaos, and attracted highly inappropriate suggestions for making them holy once more. The wait staff of the establishment were no doubt traumatized by the spectacle of Darth Teddy brandishing a toroidal doughnut in his attempt to measure Huggles.

It is suspected that Kahuna was aided an abetted by the all-powerful Admiral in sourcing doughnuts. Operating in kernel mode and able to summon the general manager with a single system call, the Admiral demonstrated wide powers at the venue. These included the power to commandeer the restaurant, in nautical tradition, and reverse payment transactions, much to the irritation of Her Royal Highness.

However, despite all efforts, the doughnut number for Huggles has remained elusive. Kahuna finally consulted God to demystify the situation and broached the topic:

Kahuna (K): How many doughnuts can you put on your dick?
God (G): Around 1000.

It seemed that God was certainly well-endowed and not shy about it either. However, God did not seem entirely convinced about Huggles:

K: How many doughnuts can Huggles put on his dick?
G: Not as many as you might think.

And so we have come full circle. On that dodgy and highly inconclusive note, we take your leave for today.

An Engineer and his Cuisine

PANADURA, Sri Lanka -- Newly crowned food critic and world famous eater Darth Teddy was entertained to a large meal (including dessert) by one Big Kahuna a couple of days ago. Through the naked eye this would seem like a fairly normal occurence, however the catch to this tummy-filling episode was that all items on the menu were concocted by Kahuna himself. For those of you who know Kahuna this might be a cause to regain your youthful exuberance and roll on the floor with hysterical laughter. On the contrary though, Kahuna personally prepared pizzas have put franchises such as Pizza Hut and Dominoes to shame and it might be said that if Kahuna went into large-scale pizza production said franchises might need to pack up and leave the island. Therefore, well-known food critic (fame happens fast) Darth Teddy has graded Kahuna's pizza's B+ with definite scope for greater things to come.

Moving on to the dessert (drool) yes that's right (drool). The Chef had prepared a New York style Cheesecake which was served with strawberries (slobber) which has a very bright future to it if released to the general public. This cheesecake has received an A by world-famous critic Darth Teddy.

The next day paved a path for a another dessert (due to inability to consume two deserts in one day for fear of death) which primarily consisted of banana's and rum (yum). This was tasted by chief critic Darth Teddy and guests namely, the Groper (Timmy) and +1. In a unanimous decision this dessert with alcohol as its primary base was given a hands down A by all present.

Therefore, comments bordering on scepticism towards Kahuna's culinary talents made by DT before he was knighted as world-famous food critic have been hastily retracted in hope that further invitations to gorge himself might be made in the near future. For those of you that are not in a position to experience this culinary delight can contact me for detailed explanations.
