As we discovered today, thanks to Raquel’s bold “I’m an adult and I can eat dessert for lunch if I want!” attitude, pi(e) as a meal makes for 3.14159 satisfied walkers. Why not four out of four, you might be asking yourself and your monitor? I will tell you. 1) Because this number is a mathematical constant and you can’t argue science unless you were part of the Bush administration; and 2) Kristen is only .0014159% happy with anything on Mondays. The delicious Granny Pie was consumed with the utmost pleasure while dining at the previously explored Hilton Garden Inn on the Stony Brook Campus, which welcomed its first eaters today – us!
Dessert for lunch: Adult status achieved!
There are certain perks to being the first people to do something. We were as giddy as mice about to experiment with what was sure to be the hottest new cosmetic trend. Everything was still clean and sparkly, and even the pricy ceramic pots housing sugar packets still decorated the tables before campus thieves had the opportunity to swipe them. We considered selling them on ebay to pay for our meal, but thought better of it when we realized we did not have enough time.
The bowl that should have paid for our lunches
Everyone commented on the high quality of the meal, even the chef who kept excitedly rushing out of the kitchen to inquire after our satisfaction. We were like royalty, minus the riches, which reinforced our long standing belief that Walk-O-Rama members are awesome.
Many topics were discussed as we strolled to and fro, some more appropriate than others. Seriously, I am a rather tactless person in general and not even I can bring myself to reveal some of the tasteless discourse that we laughed about today.
Other topics can be written about – and should be! The Library will soon be focusing all of our non-WOR attention on the upcoming Roth Regatta! This year’s cardboard boat race is sure to be every bit as exciting as last year’s. Volunteers who would like to hide in the murky Roth waters on race day breathing out of reed straw air tubes in order to flip over all serious competition should let us know ASAP. Think about it.
And also think about whether or not you would like to walk this Wednesday, when the lure of the Annual Food Show in the SAC promises to be a distraction worthy enough to abandon our desks. Most are. FREE FOOD! Maybe even pie! Hope to see you then…
