Kung-Fu Kitty

I was very bored in my Calculus class so I started writing messages to the girl beside me and I thought I would share it with everyone. (Keep in mind that it was right before lunch.)

Me: Dear A, Do you believe in the power of pie? That is, pie, our lord and saviour?

A: Well, last time I checked pie is the equivalent of a numerical value and I don't know that numbers being an arbitrary concept have a power. But on the other hand, I do believe in a "higher power" so to speak.

Me: I was thinking of apple crumble pie. It's soooooo yummy!

A: I should have known better, after all, it's lunch time and it's sounding really good!

Me: I would totally be part of a religion that worshipped pie. We would devote our lives to finding the ultimate pie, the tastiest of them all, and then eat it and go into fits of extacy. What's your favourite kind of pie?

A: It sounds like the ultimate job would be a pie judge. I like all kinds of pie, but butterscotch is sounding really good at the moment!

Me: Are you a pie person, or a cake person? That is, if presented with the most delicious pie and the most delicious cake, which would you choose? It's an important character-determining question!

A: I would be the one trying to find someone else to split both pieces with. I'd have to try both.

Me: Ah, so you're agnostic?

A: I guess it all depends on what I'm in the mood for. I believe that strawberry shortcake is the higher power if I had to choose. Or what about brownie people? Don't they get a say?

Me: I think that both brownies and strawberry shortcake are both kinds of cake. Cookies, on the other hand are failed cakes so cookie people would also be cake people of a sort. So, any kind of baked good desert can be classified as either cake or pie.

At that point, class ended and we had to cut our discussion short. In the hallway, we compared this theory of all baked-goods type desserts being either cake or pie to another classmate's theory that guys are either muffins, donuts, muffins pretending to be donuts, or donuts pretending to be muffins. That was interesting too. This whole thing makes me want to start a religion of pie worship...

P.S. Doppelgänger Effekt will be playing at Rock for Recycling at noon on Friday, April 7, 2006 in the Turner Studio courtyard at Bishop's University. Everyone should go see us!
