With all you people back from the shadows this place should be swimming in pie. And you can afford it, having not spent any money supporting the board. :mad: ---

I too am distraught at the appalling dearth of pie – in fact, at this point I’d take just about any baked confection. Cake, muffins, banana bread, cannolis – heck, gimme some fried stuff, even, donuts, churros, funnel cakes, anything you’ve got. Come on all you returning folk, you’re slacking. You know the rules. The goat will be most displeased. ---

Why can’t we have a thread with pictures of remarkable confectionary and cake-like products? ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > [Ask and you shall receive.](http://muchmenus.com/chocolatecake.jpg) That is a nice looking piece of cake. The cake my boss brought in this morning doesn’t look as good, but it’s at hand, so to speak. So I’ll look at your cake while eating his and thanks to you both. This will temporarily keep me from being disappointed about the lack of pie. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Is that kind of like when you’re having sex with your girlfriend but fantasizing about Giselle Bundchen? If you’re eating one piece of cake while fantasizing about another, then you need to take a hard, honest look at your dessert menu and ask yourself if the spark isn’t gone and you’re just going through the mastications. ---

Psh. Today’s economy is nowhere near being able to provide pie for over 50,000 members of the SDMB. Unless we were to create the world’s biggest pie (any ideas of possibly being in the book of Guiness world records? Anyone? Come on, what’s better than a giant pastry?) BUT, good news: [I’m making some of these.](http://www.cakes-cookies.com/recipes/biscuits-cookies/chocolate-crackle-tops.php) If you need some eye candy, [this is sure to satisfy you.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Chocolate_Cake_Flourless_(1).jpg/800px-Chocolate_Cake_Flourless_(1).jpg) ---

Hey, I’m not looking for a commitment, here. The cake that’s available is the cake that’s available. And masticating is a healthy thing. ---

Yeah, okay, but just remember, that cake has been airbrushed and iced by professionals. And it’s probably spent hours under the hot lights for its photo sessions so it must taste like freeze dried crap by now. Whereas the cake in your fridge may be smudged and and wilted looking but is REAL, damnit! ---

Whereas the cake in your fridge may be smudged and and wilted looking but is REAL, damnit! I have no cake in my fridge right now. I don’t want to be reminded of how long ago there was cake there. Let me fantasize about the beautiful unattainable cake a little longer. ---

Maybe you should have been up-front about that, then. Did you ever think about the cake in front of you? Maybe it was looking for a lasting relationship and all you’re giving is a one-plate stand. I just hope you used a rubber fork. ---
