[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, it took a while, but the 5MV Forums are back up to 100 members! (101, in fact.) Last time, I invited Jim Wright to be our one hundredth member; this time he's on his honeymoon, so that couldn't be arranged, but it's cool to hit 100 again regardless. Thanks, everybody!

A celebration is in order. Pie for all.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'll take blueberry, please. And please don't oversweeten the filling or sprinkle the top with sugar -- fruit is sweet enough on its own. -- Pteryx[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Dammit Zeke. Now you got me wanting Apple pie. I'm gonna have to freakin make it now.

Edit: Uh, is anyone else having a problem seeing my Avatar? ::sigh::[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Nope i can't see it either :(

Oh and i'll take a rubarb pie :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Apple for me, too. :)

I can't see your avatar either, Celeste. :suspicious:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I can see your avatar now, Celeste, though I hadn't been able to for several days before now. :)

Any apple pie left? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Mmmmmm... Piiiiiiiiie...

Ummm... [EmbarrasingBoorishness]Who's Jim Wright?[/EmbarrasingBoorishness][/color:post_uid0]

Sort of 5MV's grandfather, in a way. Jim founded the Delta Blues review site not long after Voyager premiered. Delta Blues subsequently spun off a discussion board called DeltaChat. DeltaChat, in turn, is where Zeke first posted his very first fiver. A few fivers later, Zeke came up with the idea of founding the 5MV site. The rest, as Daniels would say on Enterprise, is history.[/color:post_uid0]

I've learned not to ask this... The hard way. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Steak and kidney!

Hold the ice-cream.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The English gave the world many things. Cuisine is not one of them. ;)

'Course Canada gave the world butter tarts and we're still the only ones who eat 'em.

To summarize: Mmm, pie.[/color:post_uid0]

Does this mean I don't get any pie? Or does it cancel out with my joining the ranks of the enlightend?

And thanks for the explanation, Marc. :)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You think the English are bad? You should see some of the things the Scots eat. Â 8|

Hmm. That's weird -- there's no difference between that one and the others in the emoticon settings. I'll see if I can fix it. Btw, while I was in there, I fixed that "two frowneys" problem.[/color:post_uid0]

I was similarly surprised when I learned that. ;)

Mmmm, butter tarts....

Butter tarts, for the uninitiated, are a small pastry, like a mini-pie that fits easily in your palm. They have a sugary sweet "custard" filling, made of raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, corn syrup, softened butter and eggs.

Needless to say, they have, like, a million calories each. But they're [i:post_uid0]so good[/i:post_uid0].

Mmm, tarts. Canada's gift to the world that nobody but us knows about. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Canada gave the world fivers, didn`t it? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Zekeybuns, at the very least. ;)[/color:post_uid0]
