I could watch that Anita Bryant video all the livelong day. As satisfying as the one from a few years ago where the nazi gets punched in the face. Blech, I hate these people. My fantasy list reaches to the moon and back. Thankfully, we will be just four at the table on Thursday and we are all on the same (which is to say correct) side. xo
I also enjoy watching Nigel Farage getting milk-shaked. Extremely satisfying! I truly am spending Thanksgiving in quiet and couldn't be happier about it.
Jell-O Vanilla Pudding should be sufficient as throwing pie filling. From a box, not pudding cups...having a Semi-Ho flashback. And maybe Dream Whip for the topping. Or Cool Whip? Which is less expensive?
You are right on the money there, Mary Beth. I have zero idea which whipped topping is less expensive, since I don't think I've ingested either since the 1980s (although I swear there are probably some empty containers still being used for leftovers in my childhood kitchen).
I woke up this morning thinking "Ok. You've got ONE shot at this because you're not making another god damned pie today." Should I make it my holiday card? It might be my best selfie yet.
If you lived here you’d be more than a month past thanksgiving. We still have people, some of whom must be related to other more … hmmm, sane folk, that are deserving of a well placed pie. By next thanksgiving we’ll undoubtedly have our own version of the marmalade perp and his boyish nazis running our country unless of course your guy crushes our country flat as he promised to do because Trudeau won’t do what he’s told. Oh well.
I have no doubt your holiday dinner will be both comforting and delicious because you two are l'il wizards in the kitchen! I will have take out and spend the day in my pjs. Happily.
Top of my endless list? 🤔 Anyone who didn’t bother to vote. I know there is no hope of rational discussion with zealots of the Barking Yam type.
Which brings me to wish you were here with my homoies, who I will lavish with all manner of culinary experiments and some classics, including an unparalleled Persian-spiced sweet potato pie. And there we are, full circle.
Yes! Some good old-fashioned political pie throwing is exactly what we need right now. Boy, wouldn't that feel satisfying. Who will be our new Soupy Sales?
Maybe Al Franken could come out of hibernation and take the job.
Where might one purchase 76,987,891 pies on short notice please? Asking for a country.
That's a whole lotta custard to fling.
We can do hard things.
Also semi-solid things
And, given enough notice, gassy things.
Yeah, but he specifically said no broken glass or sharp objects.

Same, same, and same, Michael.
Happy solo Thanksgiving to us both.
Happy Thanksgiving, Erin.
I don’t know…no glass shards, no sharp objects… *sigh*. My fantasy list is a lot more violent than throwing a perfectly good pie.
I harbor similar feelings, but cannot not incite actual violence for legal reasons.
I suppose that’s why my brother asked me to bring cookies this year instead of pie and Reine de Saba.
Hahaha. Although far less messy, they're easier to throw and hurt more.
Reine de Saba would make a lovely mess but what a waste!
I love this. You are a wonderful wonderful writer.
This makes me happy. Thank you.
He so is!
You kids flatter me so! (Thank you)

Frothy lard maybe? Too expensive? Too . .?
I do hope you’re getting that image framed. And giving it to me.

I can’t disagree
Not too difficult a choice since I think I have taken maybe 10 1/2 in my lifetime.
Also, how many trump-voting children do you know?
None, it's just that most children are terrible.

Everything just makes me sad right now. And angry, clearly.
I don't like anyone who is okay now. It's just a fact. But like you I'm going to keep writing. Pure cussedness has to be good for something.
IT MUST.
Poor Mrs. Beeton! 🤣 Generous of custard, indeed!
Seriously. Poor woman.
She was like, 27.
I think her husband went on to publish the Sherlock Holmes stories, but I'm still mad at him.
Indeed. btw, I was laughing at your comment, not Mrs. Beeton. I’m not a monster. Ok, maybe sometimes, but not today.
I wish we were nearby so you could join our (very) little table. Hope your holiday is comforting and delicious. 💜

That portrait…are you in your Picasso phase, perhaps?
Very much in a Blue Period and will probably remain in it for the next four years or so.

When someone actually does pie some terrible person, I want them to shout "Pow! Right in the kisser!" à la Ralph Kramden.
“To the moon, Alice!” Boy Scout’s honor, sir!
What do you have against Scott Baio? Joanie loves him!
I have never forgiven him for having feathered late 1970s/early 1980 hair in Happy Days. And poor Joanie. RIP.
Happy Pie in the Face Day! No, really, it's in today's almanac!
Holy Expletive! Thank you for alerting me. I honestly had no idea.
That video of Anita Never gets old, unlike Anita. The bitch.
I am much saddened to learn she’s not dead yet.
Right?!

I have to tell you I am very grateful for the Soupy Sales reference.
