Spaghetti-Øs
More material then those boring old non-Scandinavian pasta circles. | |
Spaghetti-Os are all right. Little circles of pasta, suspended
in watery tomato sauce--enough to please any radial geometry
student who's low on funds. The problem is what's inside the
Spaghetti-Os: That's right. NOTHINGNESS.
To solve this problem, Spaghetti-Øs should be made as an
alternative.
That little diagonal doohickey on the "Ø" would not
only add more pasta mass, but due to the cohesive properties
of
spaghetti sauce, more sauce would bond to each Ø as well,
increasing the flavor of every spoonful. Also, the requisite of
having the pasta shaped like a letter would still be met. I even
think that the ever popular "Uh Oh, Spaghetti-Os" jingle could
be
kept (How do you pronounce an Ø, anyway?).
The sound you are looking for

What a great idea on a rainy, winter night. Bravo, el
Wormo. + |
|

Nice idea - I don't know why 21Q is saying 'baked'.
Incidentally, is there alphabet pasta in non-Roman alphabets - e.g. the Hindi or Chinese alphabets? |
|
| |
Unicode pasta in general, i think. |
|
| |
Drifting off topic from this fine idea, alphabetti spaghetti is, as comestibles go, somewhat gauche and unnecessary as traditional spaghetti can be used to generate perfectly legible copperplate text by any individual with sufficient dexterity and spunk/gumption. |

[zeno] Spaghetti-Ös?
Pronounced like the French word for water, "eau" |
|
| |
//How do you pronounce an Ø, anyway?// Zero? That's how I read it. As far as I have ever known, any time I see someone hand write that symbol, it's an indicative way to distinguish it from the letter O. |
|
| |
Don't forget the generic, Spaghetti-nulls. Just a canful of sauce, continuously bombarded by neutrinos. Gives me another idea: the advertisement of neutrino bombardment as a selling feature... |
|
| |
eau is pronounced like the last letter of zeno. I'll post another link of what I think this sounds like. |
|
| |
The slash through a zero is to distinguish it from the letter O: but then of course it gets confused with the letter Ø instead. Some days you just can't win. |
|
| |
I also wish to register a vote for Unicode pasta. Have this bun in the meantime. |
|
| |
[zeno] I prounounce the o in zeno like the o in Ozone. (i.e. not like eauzeaun) |
|
| |
That's right, The french eau is pronounced exactly like the o in ozone, both. |
|
| |
[+] I'd prefer noodles shaped like an ∅ than like an Ø. |
|
| |
∅ seems like a pretty big piece of pasta. You might
choke! |
|
| |
This definitely would have given me too much stress. You see, as a small kid, I used to eat the 'A's, then the 'B's, but 'C's need closer inspection: I mean, they might have been broken 'O's. And how could I hope to distinguish between Zero and 'O'? Somehow, after that, everything else in life became relatively simple. |
