Food Appreciation, Class Seven, Period 3

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall had been experiencing...technical difficulties in the bedroom the last day or so. Normally that would be cause for panic, anger and a bit of crying in a closet. But Marshall had students to attend to and, goddammit, he wasn't about to cry in front of them. So instead of actually crying he looked a bit grumpy and on edge during the whole class.

In order to keep himself from freaking out too bad he switched up the syllabus a bit and moved one very special class up to today. And that class was all about--

"Pie."

Marshall gestured at the buffet table which was covered in all sorts of pie. Sweet pie. None of that savory stuff. Marshall wanted sugar today, dammit. "Pie is the single most delicious thing on the planet and if you think otherwise? You're wrong. Simple as that."

And right now he would probably fight the person who tried to argue with him about that. You don't want to fight with Marshall. That guy was crazy.

"There all sorts of pies. Fruit pies, chocolate pies, pies with nuts in them, sweet potato pie," Marshall got a dreamy look on his face. "There's pie with meat in them like chicken pot pie and those weird ones with beef in them that English people like. They're all good. Pie is good no matter what way you have it."

"We're sticking to the sweet pies today because I said so," he said a little irritably. He lifted up a cheesecake. "Cheesecake is totally a pie. Wikipedia said. Well, it said it was a tart which is an open-topped pie so there."

There was a long pause.

"Actually, you know what? They're cake. Yep. Cake and you shouldn't eat them because it's pie day. Here, I'll take them off your hands," Marshall said, gathering up the four cheesecakes that were on the table. "Don't you worry, I'll get rid of them."

And by "get rid of them" he meant "sit in the back, eat them and not share". He so wasn't in a sharing mood.

"Eat pie! Don't bother me unless you have to!"

Poor, sexless Marshall.

Listen to the Lecture

Poor Mr. Eriksen needs to get laid.

She blinked at the lecture, wondering at the change in tone.

Dean was totally in agreement with Marshall's whole ode to pie. Obviously he had a very discerning palate.

Priestly would normally argue with Marshall just for the sake of arguing.

He was pretty sure that wasn't a good idea, today.

Check it out, he did have survival instincts!

What was with her teachers today?

More importantly, to Jen, was . . . could they get to the pie already?

Shut up, she'd just do an extra run around the island tomorrow to make up for it. This class was actually really good for her exercise regimen.

Marco was totally not eyeing that cheesecake, really.

Aw, man, she really wanted some cheesecake. But seriously, it was cake and not pie.

...and why was Mr. Eriksen so irritable?

Ned was in heaven.

Yep.

Pie? Totally good!

Sam didn't like seeing Mr. Eriksen in distress, but he wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to ask if he was all right.

Hoshi sensed that something was really troubling Marshall, but she was more concerned with getting her hands on pie.

Molly wasn't sure what Professor Eriksen's deal was about the cheesecake, but it wasn't like there wasn't more than enough pie to go around.

Mmmmmm, chocolate. And maybe some key lime.

Eat pie!

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

But not the cheesecake. That's not for you.

Viki was, however, more than happy to eat pie.

Especially when it seemed they had no other options.

Re: Eat pie!

Dean has pretty much in pie heaven as he heaped a plate full of pieces of as many different pies he could.

Best. Class. Ever.

Priestly went for the banana cream. He wasn't even planning to throw it at someone. Just eat it.

Mmmmmm, banana cream.

Hello there, strawberry rhubarb. Nice to meet you, lemon meringue.

. . . three extra laps around the island. She could handle it.

Mmmm, apple pie. Hurley did note the change in the teacher's usual mood, but... dude. Pie.

Firekeeper was more than happy to eat pie, both the savory and sweet kind. Blind Seer snapped up a couple of the beef ones, even though cooked meat was hardly his preference. Free food was free food.

Pie was something Mac could definitely go for, and she decided sampling a little of everything was the way forward.

She could deal with grouchy teacher so long as there was this sort of thing to make up for it.

Talk to the TA

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Once she pings in.

Re: Talk to the TA

[thatsamilkshake]

She was here! And full of pie! And by now, sort of wondering what had both of her teachers in such sulky moods. Maybe Marshall needed to share some of the pie with his wife?
