Why are Duff Herms In Walizburg Eating Lots of Doughnuts?

In recent months, Herms have begun to worry about the amount of fried food that Duff Herms are consuming throughout Hermistan. Though many Duff Herms opt for a more traditional diet, some (especially those in big cities) have begun to eat large quantities of popcorn, corn chips, and other fried corn products. Likewise, in Walizburg, the number of doughnuts sold has tripled versus three years ago. Ba Herms have begun to worry that their Duff Herms are not meeting the expectations of Hermism, and one worried HermPost customer said, “I’ve lived here for forty years and I’ve never seen anything like what I did yesterday. Three Duff Herm conspiracy theorists were throwing doughnuts onto a fake Fig Duff nose. I think that those Herms need some good discipline.”

This Herm argued passionately for over an hour with the local reporter before he decided that the Duff Herms weren’t going crazy and that the weirdos were just being poorly covered up by the public. The HermPost thinks that the increased consumption of fried foods is down to a simple change in fashion and these things come and pass, adding a new ring to the tree each year which will likely never be seen by anyone. As the Berm puts it, “It’s nothing to stress about … compared to other things anyway … I won’t say that increased donut consumption will help Herms, and I would like to make it clear to Duff Herms that just because your friends eat donuts doesn’t mean your Ba Herm won’t notice when you gain one and a half pounds!”

The HermPost research department found some pretty intriguing results when we looked at the data behind Duff Herm weight gain and fried foods. The data proved that Duff Herms who eat fried food five times a week are 90% more likely to weigh at least one pound more than those who eat it on a weekly basis. Additionally, Duff Herms who have never eaten fried food often weigh half a pound less than the weekly consumers. It was also proven that Duff Herms who eat fried food sleep longer and spend more time in the bathroom, whether using it for legitimate reasons or just to sneak in a few extra doughnuts when their Herms aren’t looking.

  Homeless Duff Herm Guild Protests Against Large Scale Advertisement The HDHG, the largest free Duff Herm organization in the country, have begun nationwide protests, some revolving into uncontrollable mobs, that have gathered in the country’s largest cities to protest big advertisements and billboards. The Department of Emergency Management says that, “Two hundred billboards worth a grand total of 1,900 Herm Dollars were destroyed by protesters.” While the Department (which is largely run by members of the HDHG) discusses their next move, the Homeless Duff Herm Guild has started a massive mobilization of militias across the country. The leaders of the guild have been silent about their intentions, but the members of the militias believe that they are needed to protect Hermistan from some unknown external threat. Currently, around a thousand Duff Herms march to the border of the Umbucci Clan of Stanistan, leading them is legendary General Jim Kurt.  One HermPost reporter ...

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
