100!

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, it took a while, but the 5MV Forums are back up to 100 members! (101, in fact.) Last time, I invited Jim Wright to be our one hundredth member; this time he's on his honeymoon, so that couldn't be arranged, but it's cool to hit 100 again regardless. Thanks, everybody!

A celebration is in order. Pie for all.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'll take blueberry, please. And please don't oversweeten the filling or sprinkle the top with sugar -- fruit is sweet enough on its own. -- Pteryx[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Dammit Zeke. Now you got me wanting Apple pie. I'm gonna have to freakin make it now.

Edit: Uh, is anyone else having a problem seeing my Avatar? ::sigh::[/colorost_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Nope i can't see it either

Oh and i'll take a rubarb pie [/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Apple for me, too.

I can't see your avatar either, Celeste. :suspicious:[/colorost_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I can see your avatar now, Celeste, though I hadn't been able to for several days before now.

Any apple pie left? [/colorost_uid0]

Sort of 5MV's grandfather, in a way. Jim founded the Delta Blues review site not long after Voyager premiered. Delta Blues subsequently spun off a discussion board called DeltaChat. DeltaChat, in turn, is where Zeke first posted his very first fiver. A few fivers later, Zeke came up with the idea of founding the 5MV site. The rest, as Daniels would say on Enterprise, is history.[/colorost_uid0]

I've learned not to ask this... The hard way. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Steak and kidney!

Hold the ice-cream.[/colorost_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]The English gave the world many things. Cuisine is not one of them.

'Course Canada gave the world butter tarts and we're still the only ones who eat 'em.

To summarize: Mmm, pie.[/colorost_uid0]

Does this mean I don't get any pie? Or does it cancel out with my joining the ranks of the enlightend?

And thanks for the explanation, Marc. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]You think the English are bad? You should see some of the things the Scots eat. Â 8|

Just to prove your point: Butter tarts?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Non-Canadians [iost_uid0]don't have butter tarts[/iost_uid0]? I'm never leaving this country again.[/colorost_uid0]

Let me try: Â 8|

Hmm. That's weird -- there's no difference between that one and the others in the emoticon settings. I'll see if I can fix it. Btw, while I was in there, I fixed that "two frowneys" problem.[/colorost_uid0]

I was similarly surprised when I learned that.

Mmmm, butter tarts....

Butter tarts, for the uninitiated, are a small pastry, like a mini-pie that fits easily in your palm. They have a sugary sweet "custard" filling, made of raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, corn syrup, softened butter and eggs.

Needless to say, they have, like, a million calories each. But they're [iost_uid0]so good[/iost_uid0].

Mmm, tarts. Canada's gift to the world that nobody but us knows about. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Canada gave the world fivers, didn`t it? [/colorost_uid0]
