Established Dopers MIA since pay-to-post conversion??

No hat pie, please. And really don’t make pie just for me!

You’ve never had Derby pie? It’s sort of like pecan pie, except with walnuts, chocolate chips, and a splash of bourbon. Good stuff, really. I made it for Thanksgiving one year, and now I am forbidden to bring anything else instead of it (although I can bring stuff in addition). Recipe:

And trust me, knowing this crowd, any pie that is provided will be consumed. So not to worry. :wink:

Neither are Ed Zotti or jdavis.

What is this “list” of which you speak?

Cecil has posted a couple of times in this thread. He’s still listed as Perfect Master, the same as before (I think).

Can you define “longtime” for me? Would I be?

As to silence around here, don’t most places go quieter once the sun starts shining a bit more? Any other place I’ve been in does.

Huh, I hadn’t ever looked in that thread. Those things are generally just a lot of arm-waving of the sort one sees at Hollywood premieres. For a “Perfect Master” and member since 1999 he has an awfully low post count. Perhaps that’s because it’s not necessary to spend a lot of time in debate when one is perfect. On the other hand I don’t ever recall him posting in GQ to answer a question or GD to resolve an issue, i.e., is GWB a perfect president or a perfect fool?

I saw minty in a thread last night.

I think sailor has jumped ship.

Has anyone seen The Bad Astronomer?
