Vivi_Rules_Pie Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 That’s right, it’s January 23rd, and that means its National Pie Day. (It also means that it’s J.K. Rowling's youngest daughters 2nd birthday. Happy birthday McKenzie) Where did this day come from you ask? Well, Created by the American Pie Council, National Pie Day is dedicated to the celebration of pie. As part of our American heritage, this day is a perfect opportunity to pass on the love and enjoyment of pie eating and pie making to future generations. (Yes, there actually is an American Pie Counsel) Did anybody else celebrate today? I brought three pies to school to share with people like me, who truly appreciate this delicious substance. Quote

linkspast Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I always thought that jury 22 should of been Pi day. 7/22 which I have heard to be more accurate than just 3.14 Quote
The Damned Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 As part of our American heritage, this day is a perfect opportunity to pass on the love and enjoyment of pie eating and pie making to future generations. What does that mean? Pies aren't American. They're actually Ancient Egyptian in origin. The concept then spread to the other ancient societies, including the Greeks. Eventually, the pie spread to what is now modern Europe, and then came over with settlers to the New World. In fact, most kinds of pie are either European or Middle East in origin. Your pie-jingoism sickens me. ... I like pumpkin pie the most. But it has to be a strongly seasoned one. Otherwise, it's just as bland as watered-down milk. More nutmeg than cinnamon, but not too much. Quote
neminem Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah. In all seriousness - we already have a Pi Day, 3/14, and Pi Day has always been celebrated by the eating of Pie. P.S. Chocolate pies for the win. Quote
Raziellink Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Uuuuuh....there's actually something like, 'pie day'? Quote
FiremanJoe Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I call for a calendar on which there is a celebration for every day. Quote
Murmeli Walan Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Isn't that 69 day? That sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than a holiday about Mario. Quote
Black Mage Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I call for a calendar on which there is a celebration for every day. Ask and ye shall recieve. Seems today is National Handwriting Day. National Handwriting Day Observe John Hancock’s birthday by making an effort to promote and encourage legible handwriting. Quote
parasoul Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I would post my 5 favorite types of pies, but only one really matters to me: 1. pecan Quote
Vivi_Rules_Pie Posted January 24, 2007 Author Posted January 24, 2007 What does that mean? Pies aren't American. They're actually Ancient Egyptian in origin. The concept then spread to the other ancient societies, including the Greeks. Eventually, the pie spread to what is now modern Europe, and then came over with settlers to the New World. In fact, most kinds of pie are either European or Middle East in origin. That is true, but the early pies were only meat pies. They didn’t develop into the pies we know today until the early pilgrims couldn’t make their favorite pies because they lacked certain ingredients, so they started to use berries that the natives pointed out. That (as far as I could gather) was the birth of what we today consider pies. Before that, they were Pot Pies and Shepherds Pies. Your pie-jingoism sickens me. rofl Quote

Gollgagh Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Been. The correct phrase is "should have been," not "should of been." "Should of been" makes absolutely no sense and people who seriously use it ought to be shot with a rail driver. Quote
