h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

croissant-patterned knickers
croissant-patterned_20knickers
A very closely-related idea: croissant-patterned knickers to be worn by halfbakers. These knickers fill with custard when in the vicinity of another pair, giving halfbakers a secret way of recognising each other. [hippo, Aug 18 2008]

I suspect we BOTH lied about our exact locations though! [gnomethang, Aug 18 2008]

There's a map somewhere, maybe on Multiply, though a lot of people aren't on it. |
|
| |
I think I read somewhere that in London you're never more than ten feet from a Halfbaker.
Or was it a rat? |
|
| |
<deepthroat voice>I'm right behind you!... </dv> |
|

Shirley, a deepthroat voice is more like
this: |

[theleopard] It sounds like you have marbles in your mou... Oh dear god, oh that's just sick, sicko! |
|
| |
[theleopard], there may have been a time when i really was right behind you, probably in a Vauxhall Cavalier. |
|
| |
I recall that [neilp] added a few halfbakers who provided their "rough" locations to a Google Earth KML file (He added a link to his server).
I'm sure that it would be easy to get dirrections between any two! |
|
| |
Yes, they're on one of the links. It could be done with spherical trigonometry with just the latitude and longitude converted into the right units. |
|
| |
Found it!
The attached link could give you the distance. |
|
| |
That's amazing [gnome]! Is that Rochester? Probably not. I'm originally from Canterbury, so i'm not totally unable to read a map of Kent. |
|
| |
I could roll a hoop with a stick down the
road to [skinflaps] house. I'd probably be
set upon by drunk Irish Arsenal supporters
though. |
|
| |
// Is that Rochester? //
It is indeed Rochester(ish).
I can send you [neilp]'s file if you don't have it. You can PM me in the other place if required. |

I thought everyone knew that Bakers exist on a pandimentional tapered lattice, and that, in effect, all bakers are within arm's reach of each-other. |
|
| |
Rats, did someone say "RATS"??? (waves and ducks). |
|
| |
// tapered lattice,//
A tapir-ed lettuce? What are you smoking? |
|
| |
[gnome], i've got [neilp]'s file thanks, but recently uninstalled Google Earth because it was screwing up the graphics card. Incidentally, my mother's from Strood and i also have friends from there who now live here. |
|
| |
Another recognition sign: don't forget that Halfbakers can't resist at least a sly smirk when using hot-air hand-dryers. |
|
| |
Ah!. Strood is where I am!
Looks like you got out - some form of escape velocity? |
|
| |
Ah, but i'm from the other side of the Medway. I could say everyone else was a "furrener", but then my own family is not from Kent in the end, and since i was born in Canterbury in the 'sixties, i'm technically not from Kent. |
|
| |
Anyway, yes, i escaped, ASAP in fact, tried to get to Scotland but ended up in the English Midlands forever. |
|
| |
No, a tunnel under the wire, a fake passport, and run hard for the border ... |
