Title: Arbitrary subject text (you should be able to infer the subject from context)
Post by: M on March 04, 2009, 06:09:54 AM: I'm M (real name: Rhump L. Stiltzkin esquire the third...esquire). I write software. I'm a *nix geek. I'm into game theory and cheap horror flicks circa 1960. Sometimes I eat tacos, sometimes I don't. I wish I knew how to krump (google it).

If my hands were made of pie and we were trapped in a blizzard for five days and you asked me if you could eat some of my hands I'd probably put on my pie shaped mittens and stop talking to you until one of us froze or starved to death; of course, I'd probably end up partaking in my own delicious pie hands while you were asleep one night and if you asked about it later I'd deny it.

Hi.

You must excuse me for a moment, this is the time of day I have set apart for Debussy.

Would you call March 14, "hand day"?

It seems you're implying March 14th is "pie day." I don't know what that is and as an American Republican (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lie%5B3%5D) that scares me. As a geek, however, I'm compelled to google it.

Yes (to the flaky crust) and maybe (depends on whether your grandma's house smells of blueberry pie).

How much for a pie job?

I don't know. In American Pie that kid really wrecked that pie up. If I gave a pie job and couldn't play the pieano any more I'd be devastated. Let’s say the price would be roughly equal to the cost of pie-hand reconstruction surgery.

Of course, I did not mean to assume your exquisite renown was beyond our dear McTarry's ken.

It's Pi Day. 3.14

At school, we sell pies as a fundraiser for the Math Department.

Ah. I only celebrate pi on March 14th for one second at 1:59:26am and again at 1:59:26pm.

Post by: ivan on March 04, 2009, 05:24:17 PM: Well, I use server time, so I only get to celebrate it once for one one-thousandth of a second:

March 14 1:59:26.535

When I took Geometry in high school, I wished the teacher a happy Pi Day on 3/14. He presented me with an apple pie for being the first one to mention it.

It would've been cool if I wasn't a 300-pounder and awkward as all hell. I was embarrassed. =\

It's at this point when I usually ask some bizarre question to help determine the estimated level of your general intelligence, however...

You answered it already.

Post by: LuciferSam on March 05, 2009, 07:08:54 PM: If I celebrate Pi-Day, it's only in a roundabout way. One could say that I am circumspect when it comes to such radiant holidays. Perhaps, even, diametrically opposed.
