MMMMMM........PIE!
Since
1999 AFL has ran a contest to guess what pies Dave's mom will
make each Thanksgiving. We thought since Dave seemed to have so
much fun guessing, we would get in on the action as well. The
contest started off as a thread on our little newsgroup and quickly
got out of hand, even with James Langdell trying his best to manage
it. In order to make it easier to vote, and to keep thread length
to a manageable size, Helen Read, James Langdell and I moved the
contest off the newsgroup. James set up the rules, Helen put together
a lovely website for voting, and I, as always, was the pie-making-bitch-goddess
who would bake a pie for the lucky person who correctly guessed
what Dorothy whipped up in her kitchen.
The website idea was incredibly successful and provided uncontested winners in both 2000 and 2001. Please click on the links below to read the contest reports. The 1999 contest had a foreign winner (those damn Canadians) and due to customs regulations we couldn't send a real pie. I did send a virtual pie and we pretended it was good enough.
