I like peach pie! I’m not sure if I can eat it right now, though. All this talk of blends makes me want to puke. ---

I’m not sure exactly how madness rounds are played; but who could ever choose between peach and raspberry? ---

So, **Dolores Reborn** did you hear that Tony Snow passed away this morning, all 37 points of him? I wonder how you view his association with the current administration, and if that will influence how, and if, you choose to celebrate his life. And when you add in Jesse Helm’s 14 points, it’s been a tough week for the GOP. ---

Here’s my pie votes. 1. Apple 2. Chocolate 3. Raspberry 5.Strawberry Rhubarb Maybe we can get someone to make up a pretty pie chart, too, once we’ve got more votes tabulated. BTW, **Eureka** , I have to admit that there’s something that seems much more visually striking to the idea of getting pictures of people after they’ve been hit by wildly used blenders, rather than before. The shock value of such images just can’t be over-stated. 😉 ETA: Just for an example, think of how popular those images a few years ago of Bill Gates getting clobbered with a cream pie were. ---

Lemon meringue pie! A delicious food, indeed. Can I partake? ---

Revenant - can you prove which is more important religion or politics? Besides that welcome to the party every one, I see you’ve helped yourselves to the spread. I also want to point out the dancing cage in the corner for those so inclined. Just a general questions for the crowd - Do you believe in magic? In a young girl’s heart? ---

Coconut is evil. If anyone makes coconut cream pie, they better use a clean knife for all the non-evil pies (which doesn’t include cherry, either). My votes: 1. Apple 2. Chocolate 3. Raspberry 5.Strawberry Rhubarb ---

[/QUOTE] Do I believe in magic? That’s a really tough question. I mean, I could totally dig Cthulhu rocking out in the middle of the suburbs, but then we’d have to make room for ALL of the critters, and you know the shit’d be on once Godzilla came blundering through downtown Tokyo, leaving legions of innocent Japanese citizens going all “Hulk SMASH!” bursting out of their kimonos and going chuck norris on me for expediting the destruction of their city. So no, I guess I really shouldn’t believe in magic. A young girl’s heart though, sure. Sprinkle some parsley on it, mix it up in a blender, and serve it as a cocktail at Dracula’s next party. Sounds like a good time to me! ---

Hmm, my first impression is that **Revenant** is a steriotypical Doper. It looks like we’ve got a couple politically minded guests as well. I have iTunes open, does anybody have any requests? ---

I have iTunes open, does anybody have any requests? [/QUOTE] Do you have any _Styx_? _Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto_ hasn’t been annoying for a few years, so it might be time to road-test it again. Then again, _Will It Blend?_ has probably already done a musical CD, so it might be better to stick with something catchy. Anything by _Rage Against the Machine_ will work for me. ---

[QUOTE=Oredigger77] Just a general questions for the crowd - Do you believe in magic? In a young girl’s heart? [/QUOTE] Oh, I certainly do. But I prefer the Gandalf the White style of magic to the Harry Potter kind. I mean, sure, _expecto patronum_ is cool and all, but will it repel a Ringwraith? I think not. You need real magic for that. [QUOTE=Santo Rugger] I have iTunes open, does anybody have any requests? [/QUOTE] I do…did you know there is a new age band called Gandalf? Play them!
