Happy Pie Day! I feel like there is not enough talk or celebration right now about this great holiday in the WAM community.

Who's getting messy with pies today? Who is day-dreaming at work about getting messy with pies? Wanting to watch someone else get hit by a pie (or two, or three or...)? Fantasizing about watching your favorite WAM pie scene later today to unwind and relax?

I'm thinking about sitting down on a folding chair in my shower and feeling the nervous excitement begin to kick in. Hearing my wife in the other room, laughing to herself as she whips up a concoction of messy pies. I know the ingredients, of course, I went shopping earlier. 3 or 4 bottles of whipped cream sit on the kitchen counter, next to 2 bottles of chocolate syrup and a handful of chocolate pudding packs.

I begin to imagine what the pies look like that she is making. Mounds of dripping wet melting whipped cream covering a paper plate. Spoonfuls of pudding glopped in the middle, topped with a heavy drizzling of chocolate syrup. I can already smell the whipped cream that will soon be up my nose, the sugary pudding and chocolate coating my hair, ears, and face.

My wife would walk into the room, carrying a pie in each hand with a devilish grin on her face. She'd seductively set them on the ground before reaching behind my back and tying my arms to the back of the chair. I'd watch as she slowly brought in pie after pie, lining them up on the ground, as I stared at them, accepting my fate.

"Are you ready?" she'd asked with a wink, picking up the biggest pie in her hand.

Yes, of course - please pie me.
