Pie Day
We asked our long-lost colleague, exclamation point lover and national-day observer Moye Ishimoto, to write something about today being National Pie Day and she responded, bless her.
Hey, kids! Guess what? TODAY IS PIE DAY!!! (Thanks for the reminder, Stephen). I’m really upset at myself that I totally forgot about Pie Day. I mean, pie is so delicious and wonderful that every day should be Pie Day, but how could I have forgotten about the nationally celebrated day of pie!
I know I talked about this before, so I don’t want to repeat myself. But what exactly is Pie Day? I have no fucking clue. Google pointed me to the American Pie Council, who stated that the purpose of Pie Day was to celebrate random acts of kindness pieness and remind everyone to be nice and not say things like, “Wow, that Heath Ledger really deserved to die.” Because that would be horrible. Really, Moye, I can’t believe you just typed that out. Anyway, who better to share the pieness than with my bestest friends in the whole world? Here (after the jump) are their recorded responses from IM:

[Silence. Kara never IMed me back. I think she left for lunch.]

Brandon: who has good pie?

Brandon: no way
moye: maybe you should make a Nice Pie and eat some of it
moye: then you would be nicer
Brandon: what does that mean?
moye): you're mean.
[Silence. Brandon never IMed me back. I think he’s mad at me.]
