Thinking...

Y'all wanna know something funny?

In roughly 3.5 months I hit my half-century mark.  Yes, 50.  Yes, I'm that old.  Shut it.

That means one thing:  party.  A very specific kind of party.  For years I've been talking about wanting to do a Three Stooges-style pie-fight on my birthday.  And, you know, you only get one 50th birthday per lifetime (if you'

I am so there as is the child and I assume most of the D&D group. I'll even bring pie. Tasty, tasty, pie. I'm guessing when I bounce the idea off the hubby he will be in agreement too.

**DANCES** Exxxxxxxxcellent!

[snotblossom]

I'm sorry, I just can't support that. I want to EAT the tasty pie...

[ysabet]

I *promise* there will be pies for the eating! It's just that I've always wanted to do this. I hold that Three Stooges humor is mostly attractive to guys, but still... who WOULDN'T want to throw a pie at somebody? I mean, really, how often are you going to get the chance to do that and not get arrested for it? **beams**

Oh man. You would have to have it right before the biggest conference of the year in my field. D: Wish I could be there.

[ysabet]

Sorry! And I wish you could too!

[cailamaia]

Eh, it's not your fault. But still. Sad.

Heh heh heh...NPR did a story some years ago with Joey D'Auria

(WGN's Bozo the Clown) on proper pie throwing technique.

Involves a LOT of shaving cream.

I'll get a buzz cut and do my best Curly if ya like.

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

Don't cut your hair on my account, but you're DEFINITELY invited! Whoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoop!!!

That sounds epic and delicious.

It shall be! Pies for eating, pies for throwing! I'm thinking that the pies for throwing need to be mostly whipped cream. Lemon meringue, key lime, boston creme.... mmmmmm. If you can make it you'll be entirely welcome, you know. ^_^

The pies for throwing don't need to be particularly edible. Probably the less sugar in them the better. And definitely make plans for rinsing off after. It'll be warm in May and I imagine whipped cream that has spoiled in the sun won't smell too good.

**nods** A hose will need to be available, definitely, and a LOT of towels. As for the edibility of the thrown pies, I dunno; if I'm gonna be hit in the face with something, I'd prefer it to be both edible and at least reasonably tasty.
