Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Trial of Cake

I might have considered something like that back when I was a minion of Evil Lash, but I think that would be a bit harsh.

Of course, I could always send a nasty frost to the hollow tree...

Rocky, as usual, you're right!

I let my passion for PIE! get in the way of my good judgment. There is absolutely no reason to enslave the Keebler elves and force them to make bombs (unless, of course, Germany starts getting all crazy again).

Ram Boy, please lt this be a lesson to rein in your passions before they lead to the dark side. Enjoy your pie. Let others enjoy their cake in peace.

Rather than enslavement and war manufacturing, the Keebler Elves should be encouraged to take a course in desserts (general) and set up an artisan baked goods shop. Peace on Earth, good will to all desserts.

What foolishly liberal policy.

While co-existence with other desserts (like cake, trifle, tiramisu and pudding) is possible they must pledge allegiance to the most Legion Worldish of all desserts Apple Pie. We must recognize Legion World began as a Pie Nation and it remains a Pie Nation.

These Keebler Elves come here and plant their hollow trees in the center of our great cities and and try to fatten up our children with their transfat-laden lie of dessert known as cookies. Their trees are simply a victory pyre to their victory over pie.

NO BLOOD FOR CHOCOLATE!!

(No, not even for German chocolate.)

[grows hair even longer, smokes dope, hugs tree]

As long as we're sending other parents' kids and I get to manage the distribution of the chocolate in a fair but not necessarily equitable fashion, I do not see an issue with "King Chocolate" driving LW's foreign policy.

This is necessary because of Cake's popularity. We could reduce dependance on foreign chocolate if only we could return to Pie. So don't blame this Administration for our Chocolate policy, blame yourselves. Alternately if you want to feel good about your lifestyle choices, do as I do and scapegoat the Keebler Elves for pushing their chocolate varieties upon us.

Tell me, can you decorate a pie like this?

Why is Batman a King, but Alan Scott is only a Jack?

Batman was a bigger seller than Alan Scott.

Incidentally, I pity those who have never experienced the wonder that is Chocolate Cream Pie, Germanitude optional.

Okay, this seems like the perfect opportunity to plug "Antique Bakery". The manga, the movies, tv shows are all great.

This is fun:

This makes me hungry.

Spooky. I just heard somebody talking about Antique Bakery on another board a couple of days ago.



Now there'll probably be a U.S. version where they completely misunderstand the source material, right?

(That first link is making me think of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Choux Pastry Heart." Maybe she's a secret Manga/Anime fan, too!)

The Korean movie and the live action television series have already strayed from the source material. The central concept is solid enough that the variations can still be fun. I would love to see a U.S. version.

You realize that my favorite men's fragrances have either a sandlewood or patchouli base notes.

Pie would like to nominate baklava for the position of dessert of the week.

Baklava is more pie than cake, but in the spirit of world peace, I'll eat some.

Yeah, that's how it starts. Then one day you wake up to find yourself knee deep in Birks, Braids (a la Willie Nelson) 'N Banjos.

Points for the effort at alliteration, though.

Speaking of desserts and hippies, here's a funny story from today's Globe and Mail.

Should have stuck with pie I suppose.

HA! Thanks, Tamper Lad! The evidence against cake continues to mount!

More proof that cake and cake-like concoction lovers are either stoners or so oblivious that they don't even KNOW that they're stoners!

Brownies are not cake.

Ram Boy continues to grasp at straws. He's had 7 pages to mount a case....

and failed.

Here's something for you cake-lovers to chew on when you're not chewing on your cakes:

Marie Antoinette, queen of evil and all around spendthrift, was a notorious cake-lover and look what happened to her.

Phwwwwwt-kerPLUNK!

(those are scary and ominous guillotine sounds)

Vive la PIE!

Actually, Rammy, the original quote "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" invokes brioche, not cake. It was also not spoken by Marie Antoinette.

The reason for the confusion, Rocky, is probably because she instructed one of her malnourished servants to say it for her and they messed it up.

(Also, I'm pretty sure she outlawed cookies and ate penguin burgers)

Just for the record, I enjoy cake and pie equally.
