    TEAM PIE

    I will concede that the best possible cake is better than the best possible pie, but we must also acknowledge that the worst possible cake eclipses the worst possible pie. Pie is always good, never bad. Cake wildly plunges between the two extremes.

    Also cheesecake is delicious and cheesecake is totally a pie.

    I concur with these viewpoints.

    While I also agree with these points, I feel that the average cake is also better than the average pie, as I have not had the opportunity to try the awful cakes that set the bar so low.

    I stand on the side of cake.

    Most fruit pies are awful.

    I like pumpkin pie, and chicken pot pie, and shepherd's pie, and pecan pie. That's about it.

    what a shitty health plan, thanks employer

    this is like mine, no co-pays, not even for prescriptions. no help until the deductible is hit ($1200 in my case). I think I'm at like $900 now. Today was rough.

    I wasn't aware there were people against making burgers even more delicious. Those poor souls.

    I see it as people are using lower quality meat and feel like they have to mask it.

    A great burger needs very little seasoning to achieve greatness.

    I am also the kind of person who eats steak without drowning it in A1 or Heinz 57.

    That is a good point. Good meat should not need a sauce of any kind. However, a good or great sauce that accompanies meat, but is not splashed all over it is a thing of wonder

    There was a half second of glee when I took off my glasses where I couldn't see the details of my face and was ecstatic. Then I remembered what I look like with my glasses on and ecstasy became that emotion that is not good. Dunno whether to call it self-loathing or hatred.

    Man, I feel bad for the cook. It's kinda shit that he tried denying it, but I wouldn't have brought it up in the first place. Feels bad if you cook and people don't appreciate it, even if it's terrible.

    Ah, I can sympathise.

    For a while, I went around playing a Wall Deck.

    (Walls are a creature type in magic which can't attack without specific cards to help them out)

    And one guy gave me rather serious shit about how n00btastic this was.

    Funny thing was, he never beat me while I played that deck. We fought to a draw most times, but a few precious times I beat him. 8-)

    You know, I may take some of these new Mirrodin Cards and make a new White Weenie deck...

    By the way Kalkino I started the book and it is interesting but I will probably not resume and finish it until tonight

    No worries. I just started it today, so it is unlikely I will finish it before tomorrow. To be honest I am just glad you are interested in reading it at all. Most Americans, rightly so, find the NZ/UK system rather odd compared to their own country, so it is nice you are taking an interest

    It is odd. That is why it is interesting! Also, not to toot my own horn, but I know a great deal about the American system of government, both principles and specifics. Other countries, even other liberal democracies, not so much, and I really should fix that.

    I know you are sort of at a loose end - so have you considered trying to get funding for study in a foreign country? My universities in NZ were lousy with Americans studying or lecturing, so it could be that there are sweet programmes that you could consider. You would certainly widen your knowledge and have a fun foreign trip too!
