Dude, I just hope the money is rolling in on this project...what was your day job?
Posted by: Beantown Bwana | November 25, 2003 2:27 PM
What my day job was? God bless you for thinking this is profitable. Sadly all it does is consume my free time and make me stress out over content.

You know, I'd like to suggest that maybe the pie is actually made with 'peas' and 'cans', so it might, in fact, be gramatically correct.
But sadly, I can see the nuts through the plastic wrap.
(I swear on my mother's life, that's the first time in my life I've had occasion to use that sentence.
Ugh. Now I just feel all dirty.)

...Despite the lousy focus. I must say we wound up buying said Peacan pie for Thanksgiving and it was quite delicious. Void of peas, cans and oddly containing cinnamon, but delicious nonetheless.
