Notice the stamp on the left top row. Apparently when all the perforations are cut off a stamp that makes it imperforate! Dave (always learning something new) |

found these unused words floating about: Notice the stamp on the left top row. Apparently when all the perforations are cut off a stamp that makes it imperforate! Dave (always learning something new) Technically, it has been unperfed. Oh!... How cruel some people can be! Those poor little Perforations. Maybe they'll surface, packaged as are 'donut holes'? |

De-perfed I'd say.

Shouldn't that be Doughnut holes?

The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary lists "donut" as a variant of "doughnut". But in Canada and increasingly in U.S. markets, both words are giving way to "Timbits," the donut/doughnut holes marketed by Tim Horton's coffee shops. One reason to go to one of the bidboard auctions here in Vancouver is the dealer has Timbits on hand. Bidding with your mouth full of Timbits isn't easy, but it can be done. :^) Isn't that an American dictionary? Hardly relevant wrt a Hong Kong stamp. What does the OED say? Do you think that Tim Horton has a real chance to make it in the US market with Starbucks so entrenched? = Eric (from Seattle, hometown of Starbucks) Someone else wrote: Shouldn't that be Doughnut holes? | Maybe they'll surface, packaged as are 'donut holes'? |

Not a very good one. One that became a Canadian, in fact. But by virtue of my birth, I can write donut to describe any stamp I want to, and George Bush will defend my right to do so. There are worse reasons to go to war! Do you think that Tim Horton has a real chance to make it in the US market with Starbucks so entrenched? Starbucks? What's Starbucks?! Sounds like a character in a grade B sci-fi film! But Tim Horton's, now that's a name! Horton was good enough name for a Spock character (no, not the pointy-eared Spock, the children's book author Spock!). Tim Horton's is often featured on a popular Canadian comedy show, The Royal Canadian Air Farce. This Starbucks you talk about -- I've never seen it on CBC, so it can't amount to much. = Eric (from Seattle, hometown of Starbucks) Bob (from Vancouver, home of Vancouverites) Someone else wrote: Shouldn't that be Doughnut holes? | Maybe they'll surface, packaged as are 'donut holes'? |

In the town I live in western New York we have one Starbucks, but in
the past year two Tim Horton's have opened for business with one more on the way. Krispy Kreme has opened a shop also. Wife prefers Krispy Kreme over all. To bring this back On Topic, has a stamp ever been issued to honor the humble doughnut/donut or any other breakfast pastry?
