The old Pie House

This poor old house is decaying fast, due to the owners fiscal situation and it's kinda sad, given that it's a land-mark of sorts for the town. Sitting on the corner opposite the high school, this once neat and well painted house served as the 'pie-house' where students could go of a lunch time, and buy a pie, probably one of the town's own Hopgood Specials.
Those days are long gone and so, by the looks of it, will be the pie house.

Did the Greens ban the pies?!!

As you know Shunda, we want to ban everything, including discussions about us wanting to ban everything. I'm tempted to ban you for life but the quality of mercy, etc, so I'll give you one more chance. Just one.

It is for sale and going quite cheap so you could buy it and restore it Rob!

And become a pie-man, selling lard to college kids!
Why didn't I think of it before!

Organic pies of celery and moss.

Bound to be selling a storm.

Then you could get a flash painted bicycle and website marketing etc...

I'm sold on the idea Shane. Already I can see the queues of eager children, coins and notes clutched in their grubby hands, jostling for position, desperate not to miss out on their 'no animals were hurt during the making of this pie' pies. No need for cycle marketing - these things will sell themselves.

how about organic pumpkin pies washed down with organic milk? Do we still have organic milk bOb?
I don't think it was organic pumpkin that killed all those people in Europe.

Pumpkin pie is a great favourite of mine jabba - it's uncanny that you knew that! Organic too, naturally. As to organic pumpkins in Europe - no, they haven't killed anyone, unless you're thinking of that awful accident where the truck load spilled onto that kindergarten group out walking...but we don't talk about that on this blog.
