I happened to be trawling the interwebnet, looking for an answer to a question I was pondering, and found a post I'd made here asking the same question about eight years ago.

Ah, recursion!

Anyway, I didn't find the answer to the question but it did remind me that I used to be around here a bit and I haven't in a while. I thought I'd drop in and say hi.

Hi everyone. How are you all? Greetings to those I haven't met before, and a 'hello again and do you remember me?' to those I have. :)

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

Hi Sarah B.
Welcome back.
Pies are available by the teehouse (Just for a change sweet to the right and savoury to the other right.)
I haven't seen the drinks trolley for months and Speckles sat on the Battenburg. It can be found at the Panto thread, the Jasper in the news threads, the Chair Census thread and possibly a few others.

What was the question? If you don't tell us, how can we not answer it again?

Much thank yous!

I was never all that fond of the Battenberg anyway, so I'll help myself to pie.

The question was about a scouting song about Ramoth Gilead, it was something my grandfather used to sing and sadly he's no longer with us. I've been unsuccessful in all my attempts to trace its origins, sadly.

So any ideas are gratefully received, though I'm equally happy with pie. :)

Welcome back Sarah.


We no longer have a pointy sticks ban, as some entities have found them useful for poking the pies which have been here for some time, or are marked 'S' for suspicious.

I miss the pointy sticks. They helped with motivation. Now all we have is pie and we've had pie for so long that I can't bear to even look at it any more. Pie fatigue.

I will put the pie elves to work making a special stealth pie that you can't see.

A surreptitious pie if you will.

Now, how to differentiate from the others?

Mark it with a "S" for secretive?

How about "S" for Spengler Special

Spengler's are not special. I think perhaps you all need a support group of some kind. Nya-ha-ha---ha.

Read all of Hitch Hiker's Guide. Is it just me or is book four wonderful and book five utterly miserable and spoiling, excepting sandwich making?

I always read book iv when I'm preparing lunch. It's the Sandwich Bible in our house.

You mean Book V. There are no sandwiches in Book IV. That section does represent the most faithful depiction of sandwiches in literature.

As book IV sits between book III and book V surely it is the epitome of a sandwich?

However, for me, I agree with ES: book IV is a fun if flawed read and V just shows that DNA was sick of the whole thing and wanted to kill it off.

I like most of IV until Ford turns up and the outside universe impinges on it all. I even wrote a review on my secret blog site when I was bored.

Gosh, I wish there were sandwiches...

Pastry and bread are almost the same, so just think of a pie as a complicated sandwich and help yourself.

Does that make a pasty more or less sandwich-like than a pie?

to my eyes, more sandwich-like, but without the purity of either a pie or sandwich.

As the king of foods, pies can be diluted to tarts, flans or pasties.
Sandwiches can aspire to piedom, but like Achilles when chasing Zeno's tortoise, it will never quite get there.

Does that make my " Mighty Like A Pie" toasted sandwich maker redundant.?


Today I made a toasted fruit bread sandwich with chocolate in't.

Today I bought a two centimetre thick slab of drinking chocolate and am gnawing on it like a hungry hamster.

I wonder if 'Mighty Like a Pie' is available as a brand name?

I think the pie/sandwich problem may be solved if we consider a pie as being a wrap-around sandwich.


Or a sandwich as a ringbarked pie


However there are possible limits in the real world as I have yet to eat a rhubarb sandwich, having led a deprived life, and a vegemite pie may be a thing to be feared.

But, it's all in the mind, you know!

Hello, my name is Egon, and I have a pie problem.
