They call it white glove service. It may just be a marketing term, but if I pay over $4000 to ship something, I want the fedex guy to actually wear white gloves, damnit.</p> Mithrandir http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-369 2003-08-04T08:53:40+00:00 2003-08-04T08:53:40+00:00 <p>Matt says they send a man with white gloves. I like this idea, too. It makes my pies seem v. important.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-368 2003-08-04T08:52:10+00:00 2003-08-04T08:52:10+00:00 <p>That exists?

Well, at least you&#8217;re less violent than some people I&#8217;ve met who seem to think that if you&#8217;re drunk, you deserve whatever people do to you, and let that be a lesson.<br /> <br /> Of course, the issue of permission and theft is irrelevant, because you&#8217;re already committing a chaotic act by bringing booze into the House to begin with, ja?</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-364 2003-08-03T20:16:32+00:00 2003-08-03T20:16:32+00:00 <p><strong>shrug</strong> I mostly just like to demand things and see where it gets me.</p> Rock Star http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-363 2003-08-03T18:38:09+00:00 2003-08-03T18:38:09+00:00 <p>Felicity, what shame.

I was cooking dinner for some professor or other and we needed a bunch of cobblers for dessert, and all my glass pie pans disappeared and I had to go tearing through the house begging for more, searching the dorms, and so on. And then I had to go find triple sec for my apple cobbler, and vodka for my cherry-blueberry cobbler, and I ended up&#8230; <strong>ahem</strong> borrowing it from some guy&#8217;s window bar in hitchcock and bringing it back to the house in travel mugs&#8230;all in all, a very sordid occasion. But it all turned out okay, even if I did have to keep moving the pans around because the ovens still weren&#8217;t heating evenly.</p> Rock Star http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-351 2003-08-02T19:32:05+00:00 2003-08-02T19:32:05+00:00 <p>Wait!

(Although I like the idea of using a Custom Critical service to mail a pie.)</p> Rock Star http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-345 2003-08-01T22:41:42+00:00 2003-08-01T22:41:42+00:00 <p>My main intent was not actually to be able to eat the pie, but rather to have it traverse the mails&#8212;sort of a ritual thing.</p> Rock Star http://faerye.net/post/pie-madness#comment-344 2003-08-01T22:37:23+00:00 2003-08-01T22:37:23+00:00 <p>Umm.

I really don&#8217;t think pie would survive the mails.<br /> <br /> I suppose if you froze it solid first and sent it refrigerated, it would get there in one piece. But I don&#8217;t know how good frozen and thawed pie would be. <br /> <br /> Of course, FedEx&#8217;s Custom Critical service could get the pie there, in on piece, in 13 hours, without freezing it, for a mere $4140.93.</p> Mithrandir
