Ahh.. It wasn't a crack in the sky - some plaster fell out of my ceiling. And that light was a rare glimpse of the sun coming through the holes in the roof. I think I'll head for the fridge, I need a pie to cheer me up.

Actually, this is crushed tomato, cooked and mixed with other vegetables, mostly onions and some peppers, sometimes carrots, depending on individual taste. A sauté if you will with tomato as the main ingredient. Which is left to simmer until the water content in it is reduced to an adequate amount, then mixed with tuna. The resulting paste forms a rather thick goop. Of course when warm it is a bit more soggy than when eaten cold, at which point it's almost like jelly.

I've noticed something tracking this thread....A lot of independent games are REALLY expensive comparatively. I'm sure a lot of people grab them during sales when possible, but otherwise it's ridiculously common to see ones going for 25, 30, 45 dollars.
Seems a bit nuts when you can look around and find really good older games for six dollars apiece.

Good morning, bard!

How would you classify trentonlf choice?

Sticking solidly with the pie theme, my daughter has recently (yesterday) acquired a pair of female guinea pigs and she's struggling to come up with a couple of appropriate names for them. I'll leave this one with you good people, so no criteria, no themes, just sling whatever you want into the pasty base and we'll see how they cook, num, num, yummy...

Ahhhhh, okay. Thank you for enlightening me on the subject. =) I can see why you prefer warmth to cold, given the description. A congealed tomato-vegetable-tuna jelly sounds intensely unappealing.
Also, thanks to you and Stilton, I've gone from not hungry at all to craving food I have no way of getting short of making it myself. Yay for projects after the sale's over. =)
Miss Beatrice and Lady Farthington! =)
(You don't have to stare, I already know I'm weird....;) )

As long as there are four and twenty I'll be happy - and as long as I have a shotgun to nab the ones who take flight ;-)

How about bait and morsel?

Miss Beatrice and Lady Farthington garnered laughter, but I've a feeling they won't make it to the final list...

...and bait and morsel (someone's thinking along my lines) was met with, to quote: 'That's just mean.' Which we can reasonably conclude means they have been rejected, unless nothing else comes along, in which case they could be in with a shout...

Why are you assumng they're both female? I now feel obgliged to counter that with appropiately macho names.

Lord Flufflewuffle and Sir Wuffypants.

Edit: dyslexic rdeaing is the bane of uor taimes.

Still they could be considered, ironic.

Maybe not, but it got a laugh, and now I've got the image of guinea pigs wearing bonnets and sipping tea....
Miss Beatrice has a human voice and Lady Farthington just shrieks profanities in between imploring Beatrice to pick hallucinatory cockroaches off of her.
"I saw the most beautiful set of fine china today, Lady Farthington. The flower pattern was truly exquisite, I wish you could have seen it."
"AHHHHHHH, THEY'RE IN MY HAIR, THEY'RE IN MY EYES, THEY'RE IN MY FLESH, PASS ME THE FORK SO I CAN RELEASE THEM AND END THIS SUFFERING, MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!"
"Oh, Lady Farthington, you are always a delight to spend the afternoon with...."

With her being the daughter of a Viking warrior, how about Huginn and Muninn? Although, of the top of my head, I'm not sure if they are male or female names.

Food taking the names of hallowed crow spirits?

BRILLIANT! This is sure to get CC's knickers in a twist.
Sounds like everyday life in Victorian London. Opium was such a fun thing to play with.

I've a feeling Odin may have patented those two, Yorkshire Viking, but they've gone into the pastry base ;-)
Caffeine abuse and sleep deprivation are better than drugs! AAAAND legal!!

Its what made Jane Austen such a laugh a minute success (I recognized your quote immediately).
