Business Greeting Card by Adam, Tøm
September 29th, 2007 4:28 PMAfter enjoying a rather nice cup of tea at a different one of Yarmouth's many seaside café's we set out to find ourselves a place of business. (victim) And of course, being mainly food driven teenagers we soon foudn ourselves back at a café, this time eyeing up the rather mouth watering donut display cabinet.
Approaching subtley (thrusting the postcard at the cashier) we managed to exchange £1.50 for 5 donuts.
They were awesome.
For our failed attempt at this task, see here.

Say, Darkaardvark,
That's certainly not the way I read the task. I suppose I assumed an implicit, ". . . as a medium for communication" at the end of it.
If we're going super-literal here, then donuts (or any product) are also forbidden. Basically, you're limited to transactions involving just greeting cards.
Hmmm.... the prospect of requesting by greeting card that a greeting card shop exchange greeting cards for greeting cards is kind of interesting. Weird enough that I'm tempted to try it. But, surely that wasn't the taskmaker's intent.
Oh yeah - and, groovy tasking, Stanly and Greg. I like it.
And in any event, how could I stay upset with a task completion that features such tasty desserts?
I knew that would work to our advantage :)
You guys crack my shit up.
Vote for cracked shit!
Profiteroles?
That is a classy Pizza Hut.
All the more reason for hitting it with labels.
When I visit Great Yarmouth (as I am compelled to, after seeing that postcard), I want some of those donuts!
Every place along the seafront has them, these are the cheapest :D
profiteroles? they have profiteroles in great yarmouth? omg, I miss profiteroles. I haven't had them since I lived in amsterdam. no one makes them here. (if anyone knows where one can get profiteroles in san francisco, or nearby, I would be greatly indebted if you could tell me where to find such morsels of wonder).
I like the completion, even if it isn't quite supposedly a proper completion. it seems to me that it wouldn't be a proper business transaction without money, and no one complained about other praxis for this task being completed with money. good job.
I hate to be a stickler, but it appears you conducted a business transaction using greeting (post) cards AND money. No money allowed!
