This is one of those threads where the title says it all.
I've got cups and saucers. You can provide the Tetley's (or some heretical beverage).
I'm agnostic about the existence of the Digestives.
Welcome!
(only if you can prove the existence of digestives ;) )
Digestives exist, but I'd rather something tastier, how about a scone with cream and jam? (translation: jam means jelly if you live in a place where they apply the wrong meaning to words).
Hello, I don't need a saucer, but a plate for my scones would save on crumbage.

Consider me unwelcome then. ;)

Digestives exist...
PROVE IT.

Before I had heard only rumours of the degree of heresy within Internet Atheist Communities, but this "Magic Pudding" jam-idol you worship (and even name yourself after) brings me much distress.

I worry I'm falling into some kind of bottomless metaphysical trap, but I will bravely proceed in a proud Puddingish manner.

They have chocolate ones, but these things have to be dunked to become digestible, not too long of course. Dunking of chocolate biscuits in hot beverages is a barbarous activity. While I acknowledge there is a market for barbarous products, I refuse to support it.

Your assertions and pretty pictures prove nothing but your magical fantasy pudding world. :P
(A solipsist makes the best devil's advocate, but is only able to metaphysically trap the Digestivist by epistemologically trapping herself...Matthew 12:26 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012:26&version=ESV) springs to mind...)
Hi Nimzo
I recognise that avatar, did you used to be a member of Richard Dawkins Forum?

The avatar's from that infamously random album of Captain Beefheart's, Trout Mask Replica - it is the album cover, but done in Paint. I've never frequented RDF - I've always found that "clear-thinking oasis" of his to be something of a mirage.

Well the avatar is rather distinctive and memorable, but it obviously wasn't you behind it.

Indeedle.
I'm intrigued by your "asupernaturalist" label. What is this "supernatural" you don't believe in?

I won't speak for Tank but he doesn't pay me the respect that is due a magical foodstuff.

I'm confused. Does that mean that he
does respect your Puddingism? :P

;D That's a 50+ question, that I may or may not answer in due course.

I confused myself a bit, it could be correct, or perhaps it once was.
"I won't speak for Tank but he doesn't pay me the respect that is a magical foodstuff's due".
That would have been less confusing but clarity is only sometimes my goal.
I just like TMP.

No clarification necessary - now on second reading I understand that you were referring to yourself, not to your belief in Puddingism, and thus my attempt to twist your words out of all proportion for my viciously disrespectful aims is rendered useless. :P

Let's hope I have $50 worth of patience. ;)
I hope you stick around. There are many more interesting things to debate than the existence of digestives.

I'm not so much interested in "debate", but I'll (tentatively) agree that the existence of Digestives isn't the most important issue of the day. Whether I stick around or not is going to depend on whether this "Getting to Know You" stage manages to hold my interest... :D
well I hope you can be happy, no need to waste time being miserable
I like tea.
I'm finding chai, in particular, to be pretty tasty these days. I'm also developing a taste for rooibos, despite the fact that I used to find that it tasted a bit too much like licorice. Yerba mate is also pretty good, but I find preparing it properly a bit cumbersome. You can't go wrong with a good cup of chamomile, I think Egyptian chamomile is the best.
This is a thread about tea, right?
ok
