Hot cross bun wank.
Found on melbournemaniac, specifically this entry. An itty bitty wank about hot cross buns. nodine posts a poll asking if hot cross buns are lame or awesome.

'...and it's not like the cross on the top adds to the taste or is particularly... interesting? ('pointless').

I remember at one point, I think it was a radio station, ringing up bakeries to ask what the cross was made of since it appeared to do nothing. Just more dough, generally. I find them rather unpleasant. Beyond that they just... have. no. point.'

The part that really made it for me was in the comments:

'Maybe it's the taste of bland blind Christianity becoming rampant consumerist monotony and choking my spirit, dulling its flavour?'

How can a frigging hot cross bun make someone so angry?

Edit: [info]wankaholic has kindly pointed out that Nodine posted to stupid_free as well, outing herself as stupid but blaming it on an earlier wank in the same community.

Look, kids! It's the circle of wank, it spooges us all! Ew...

You mean kind of the way croissants no longer celebrate defeating the Turks in battle?

You mean the history of croissants?
Allegedly, they were invented after the Battle of Vienna in 1683, meant to ressemble the crescent on the Turkish flag. As definite croissant recipes don't appear in cookbooks until the 19th/20th century, this story remains unproven.

I think the flamewars and wankery over the crossover culinary-political-linguistic question about what JFK really sad back then in Berlin proved that looooong ago -_-

*joins you in the craving despite just having had pancakes*

I'd just like to let you know that this comment prompted me to look up the history of first the Turkish flag, and then the Ottoman flag, on Wikipedia.

I don't know if I should thank you or slap you. Hmmm. I'm going to go with thanking. :D

And me and my cheeks would like to thank you for going for thanking.

*will now also look that up because yay history trivia!*
