fracas

I have to admit I’m having a little regret that I didn’t save my recent post Stupid teenager tricks (or how not to burn your penis) for today. I mean, I knew I would be needing a Weirdly Wednesday post but that isn’t even the only reason I should’ve saved it.

I realize that my posting it gave a much needed laugh to Mark, but still.. I should’ve posted it today, Wednesday March 14, 2007.

Why?

You see? How stupid am I to have had this really great item about, well… pie, and blow it out here before Pi Day?

There are events everywhere. Pie eating contests, pie throwing contests… hell, over here, they ate pie while they relaxed and sang Pi Day songs. And I foolishly wasted my story of one of the most “ingenious” and yet entertaining uses for pie by posting it on a flipping non-Pi Tuesday!

I’m so ashamed of myself.

I thought I might redeem myself to everyone by finding something that was better than the stupid-teenager-penis-in-a-pie post. I found a recipe for Better than sex pie but I still felt I owed you faithful frac’ers more. (Yeah.. how do you like that? I think of you all as frac’ers!)

I found some Executive Pie but nah… that seemed like just not enough fun.

I found the movie God, Sex & Apple Pie, but honestly, I’m a little worried that the stupid teenager from the other post will stumble upon that link and end up making the news again. After finding the movie review over at the Rotten Tomatoes site, the movie sounds kind of boring though.

Sheesh.. who knew celebrating Pi Day was going to be so difficult?

If you’re really starved for a thrill, you can check out a million digits of pi while I look for more exciting stuff, or read about it at Wikipedia’s Pi Day page.

Of course, while looking for more cheap thrills for all you frac’ers, I ended up at Urban Dictionary and learned that maybe we’ve been too hard on our stupid teenager friend. After all, if they’re going to leave instructions on how to have sex with a warm pie, we can’t exactly blame the poor lad for not knowing the difference between “warm” and “circumcision the pie way”. After all, he probably didn’t take the home economics or cooking classes at his local high school; he probably has never used any kind of candy or meat (infer what you will) thermometer before. We all know how effective that “kiss the forehead and you can tell if the tot is running a fever” theory works so truly, it’s not his fault that he didn’t know what “warm” meant. Blame the people at Urban Dictionary for his pie and penile problems.

I was starting to wish I’d just bought the shirt and called it a day, but then I reminded myself that no story should be too tough or too alarming for fracas to bring to all the dear frac’ers out there.

You can visit technorati’s page for the tag formerly known as Pie, you could visit the ever cheerful Fun with Pi Page, or you could check out the list of Pi crafts to help you plan your Pi Day Party over at Education World. You could even choose to head over to Amazon and pick up a copy of Yann Martel’s Life of Pi.

Whatever you do decide to do for Pi Day, remember that if you choose to celebrate in this fashion, for the love of Pete (every pun intended) get yourself a thermometer and make sure you understand the meaning of warm.

Happy Pi Day!
