the powers that be were offended by my earlier question and removed it.
  
you were the only researcher to comment, so there was no real
competition.  however, as a one-year member of the pfc, i would be
honored to have you answer one of my questions.

i was going to ask you to answer a snide GA-related question, but that
would probably just get deleted and cost me another $0.50.  so i'll
just ask the most innocuous question i can think of instead:

what is your favorite kind of pie?

i will make up the difference between this price and the original
price with a tip, to minimize rewarding the wrong people.

please hurry and answer, who knows how long this question will remain available.

Cab,

It's very kind of you to post this for me. I had fun with your other
question while it lasted.

I am very fond of many varieties of pie, but if I had to pick just
one, I'd choose lemon meringue pie. If the crust is a bit flaky and
the filling is a little tart, and the meringue is light and fluffy
without being tough, a nice piece of lemon meringue pie is the closest
I'm likely to get to heaven in this life.

Come to think of it, I'm a lot like that slice of pie. A bit flaky, a
little tart, and fluffy without being tough.

I hope your mood improves. Have a piece of pie. :-)

Best wishes,
Pink (I am not Jeraboo)

that's in my top five too.  my favorite (tho possibly for sentimental
reasons) is my dad's mince meat pie, which he makes only once a year,
at christmas, from scratch.

thanks for playing.

Many thanks for the fun question, the five stars, and the nice tip!

A lovely description and simile!

It does seem that someone is getting touchier about certain types of questions.
Has going public taken the humor out of the system?  I noticed that
there was no Halloween embellishing of the big multi-color name, maybe
a ghost with the double Os as eyes or the like.  You know what I mean.

> there was no Halloween embellishing of the big multi-color name

There was - either it was different in your country or you looked on
the wrong day.  After all it's easy to confuse oct31 with dec25.
