Yo. If you join, be sure to message here or telegram me if you want to be appointed to an official position with a ridiculous name. You can make up your own or I can, so long as it is decidedly not normal. Normal is boring.

Heh, this poll reminds me that in my numerous years bumming around the Internet, I have always include Pie as an option in every poll I did. Even when it was trying to garner serious feedback about stories I was writing when they were still in progress. Just a personal quirk due to the fact that I have pie in my blood. Literally. Bit of an accident from my days working at Edwards.

I just did an internet search for Edwards, and got a lot of confusing results before I wised up and searched for "Edwards pies".
May I ask what kind of pie your blood contains, and maybe how it got there?

Hershey Chocolate Sundae, one of their most popular and the one they made for Burger King. My father worked there for years, and I ended up on the line a couple of summers, going through some pretty awful work for $7.50 an hour. One day I was on the slicing line, which was always hot and humid from the water pressure jets used to cut pies, and looked down to realize something had cut my arm, and melted chocolate and pie topping had gotten into the gash and created a sticky sweet looking scab. It was pretty gnarly.

1) Ouch. And delicious? Mostly ouch. Interestingly enough, the medical field sometimes uses sugar to hinder bacterial infections in wounds. It has been used this way throughout history, both sugar and honey. Don't know about the chocolate and rest of the pie toppings though...

2) I have been thinking about the slicing of pies using water pressure jets, for several days now.
Slicing. With water. Pies.

Was not aware about that with sugar! Interesting.

Yep, these were frozen pies, so the jets didn't mess up the pies themselves. When he first started there it was done with metal blades, but this was apparently quicker and cheaper. Equally possible for a finger to get taken off, though. Didn't happen often but it did happen.

The doctor and morpheus Welcome to the crew! I dub thee Grand Admiral of Bathtubs, unless you'd prefer another title.

Hi

Hey there!

Alas, the grand admiral has left us.

So it goes.

Ionic or bust, I say. Though I always hear about these fifth columns, I'm sure they're quite lovely.

Maybe his bathtub sunk?

With any luck, it disappeared down the gullet of one of our region’s majestic local fish, the megalodon.

Ah yes, the megalodon: Both the life and death of our small-boat fishing industry.

A toast to our thousands of fallen fishermen. Tastes great with pie, though!

Hey there, new person. Welcome aboard. It’s a pleasure to meet the new Chief Goat Wrangler.

Thank you for the warm welcome and RO Appearance/Embassies slot, H2.

I excel at window dressing. Hope I can do the position justice!

Glad to have you, and dress away!

For starters, a flag!

Nice!

Actually, it looked nice on the mobile site, but I will say that on the computer it is a bit too big. Might need to shrink that down a tad.

Yeah, there we go. It's big, but not, like, aggressively big. Looks good, thanks for making it!

Wow, it's massive even now. Don't recall it was larger previously. Thanks for approving it.

I joined your region because I enjoyed your posts on the Cards forum. I appreciate the spice you're delivering.
