Pi Day 3

Are your eyes hurting yet? How about your brain? Thing is…that is only a teeny tiny fraction of the numbers in π or Pi. So why on earth am I telling you all this? Well did you look at the date today? Go look…I will wait…

Today just so happens to be 3-14 or in the  world of Geeks, Pi Day. As 3.14 is the short short short version for the symbol Pi. (Click here for more info on Pi.) Not to mention one of the Geeks of ALL Geeks, Albert Einstein, just so happens to have his birthday fall on 3-14. Seriously! It is quite a celebrated day. The College Kids at Princeton REALLY get into it each year. Just check this out.

Now why on earth am I bugging you about all things geeky and nerdy while you are on a sight about the Simpsons? Well let me explain. For one thing, Bunny is a full fledged Geek Girl and I LOVE me some Geek Boys! You also have THREE very loud and proud geek characters running around your games right now. Comic Book Guy, Sideshow Bob, and Professor Frink. (Not to mention the other members of Mensa. Can YOU name them all?) These geeks are very proud of their intellect and show it as often as they can. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm guys with intelligent brains…so HOT!!!

Sorry…got distracted there for a minute. Where was I? Oh yah, Pi Day. So in honor of my geeky nerds, nerdy geeks, and all in between…WE ARE GIVING AWAY A PIE. WOOHOO!! Mmmmmmmmm PIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!! ***drools***. Now don’t you go and worry your lil heads, Bunny did NOT make this herself. (They wouldn’t let me. 🙁  )

Pi Day 2

So WHERE are the Pies coming from? Mr. Tod’s. Ooooooh. Even better, you don’t get just ONE pie…OH NO, us Addicts like to “sweeten” the deal…you will get to pick TEN mini pies. WOOHOO!!!! Just take a peak at their site and see all the mouth watering options.  https://www.whybake.com/browse.cfm

Now comes the fun stuff…HOW do you win these delicious pies? It is really simple…

  2. I just figured I would play along, but you can keep the pie. So, don’t Pie Me Addicts. I’d hate to get a broken nose.

  3. Origing id – tigeronio677

    Geekiest moment – The day that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released my family and I dressed up as characters from the Harry Potter series. I dressed up as Viktor Krum, my wife was Professor trelawney, my 8 year old son was Ron weasley (and yes, we dyed his hair red for the occasion), and my daughter, who was 6 at the time dressed up as dobby, with pointed ears and multiple hats. We all went out dress up like this, in public, to the local WalMart, and for some reason the local newspaper was there, and they asked if they could take our picture. We said “Sure.” The next day our pictures, and names, were all in the paper.

    Favorite mathematical equation – I could go for the brown nose technique and choose “y = r cubed over 3” from “Bart the Genius,” but I’ll go with “You are 9/10 – 7/10!” (2/10, get it? Two/Too tenths/tense)

    Ultimate Answer – “Why Not!”

    Ever used pi? – I have, but am now in a committe relationship.

    Ever smashed pie in someone’s face? – Never. I have a fear of breaking their nose. No joke! I cringe whenever I see someone do it.

    Team member thatI would like to smash pie on – Easiest Question on the list. BUNNY! By the way, I love the hat!

  4. ID Ginnafer. High school, I was the ultimate band geek and we often searched for the holy grail on invisible horses sans coconuts. Also known to spew random Homer quotes where appropriate (or not lol). Variables. Something about plugging in a # and getting a clean problem soothed the ocd. I was bad at everything else. What is the Ultimate Answer? 42. The last time I used pi I was helping my dad make my brothers wedding cake. He used it to make sure the drop lines would be even all the way around the cake. I have not pied anyone or been pied. I would pick Bunny, just so I could sing this: I’m a guitaw pwayer, a wabbit piewr, with a nasty habit, PIE THE WABBIT!! PIE ME ADDICTS!!

    I realize I just aged myself but…meh. Worth it.

  5. Nerdiest moment: I sang the ‘Slinky’ theme song to a convention hall full of people to win a contest – no one else knew it!
    The ultimate answer is ’42’
    Recently, I used Pi estimate the circumference of the circle of stones I planned to place around a tree in my front yard – while I was standing in Home Depot’s garden section, without a calculator. Scared the clerk!
    It would be fun to ‘pie’ Wookie, so much fur to clean up!
    Please: PIE ME ADDICTS!

  6. 1) Origin ID =Llamapolozafan
    2) -geekiest moment: why quoting frequently Monty Python and the holy grail, AT WORK *beware of the white rabbit, it has “FANGS”
    -Fav/Hated math equation: ALL, me and math are not friends.
    -ultimate answer: 42
    -Have I ever used PI, why yes it tastes great!; I have used it in school though.
    -Have you ever smashed a pie- Why no that would be a sin against PIES, and we can’t have that.
    – who would I smash a pie into form the addicts> well none, it’s a waste* see line above
    3) “PIE ME ADDICTS”

  7. Ok, here goes… PIE ME ADDICTS, I’m kimmmmeee473. (Kim O in the real world.)
    My nerdiest moment? Um, most every day of high school and many after that? If I have to pick one nerdiest it was probably temporarily joining the debate team and competing with them so I could write an article for the high school paper. (In a plaid skirt. It was the early 80s.)
    My most hated mathematical equation was any of those stupid theorems or postulates. Why… WHYYYYYYYY?
    The Ultimate Answer is 42.
    Other than to make a bad pun, or celebrate Pi day I haven’t used it since high school. (My geeky college major didn’t call for any math classes, go figure.)
    I’ve never been smashed or smashed anyone. Those that know me know better.
    Which Addict Team Member would get the pie? Wookie, just because pie in all that fur would be funny.

    Happy Pi Day everyone!

  8. granmamaDar is am I.
    A pie in the face, it is better to give than to receive, right? So I try to give, but I’ve done/had both, which leads me to the next question… Wookie, of course (I want to see how long it takes for him to clean it off). }8^D

    PIE ME ADDICTS (preferably banana cream)

  9. -I’m not a nerd Bart, nerds are smart!

  10. toxicshark965….my Geekiest…Nerdiest Moment was when i started participating in these contest and blog sites….lol…Kudo’s to you gals/guys for keeping me entertained and a full fledged ADDICT…so PIE ME ADDICT!!, and as far as pie smushing…i gotta go with the wookie, because it would be a riot watching him clean it out of all that facial growth…hahaha

  11. Origin ID: Fritzst11
    Geekiest moment: on a camping trip with some friends and me and one other friend couldn’t sleep beacause it was pouring outside. I talked about the character of Smithers nonstop from 10 to 1. And the guy I was talking to had never even watched the simpsons.
    Favorite mathematical formula: by far, the one used to find Phi using the Fibonacci sequence.in my opinion, phi, the Devine proportion, or 1.618, (look it up) has always been one H of a lot cooler than Pi!
    Have I ever used Pi: only in 7th grade math classes
    Pie in the face: when I was about seven at someone’s birthday party, let’s just say things got out of hand.
    Pie in addicts face: none, of course, unless they wanted it.
    That’s it. So please PIE ME ADDICTS!

    • But there are no desserts linked to Phi. And Fibonacci sounds like a delicious Italian meal to most, so it may work as a day…maybe…On Jan 6th 2018, you just might get your celebration. 😉

  12. My geekiest moment: I once made a date leave in anger, after trying to explain “The Double Slit Experiment”
    Favorit math equation: Finding the volume of a disc where depth= A and radius= Z (PI•Z•Z•A)
    The ultimate answer is still 42, I believe.
    Have I ever used PI: Sure I have. Last October, i divided the circumference of a jack-o’-lantern by its diameter, to give myself a treat. I got… Pumpkin π
    I have had a pie thrown in my face. – a food fight.
    On hich Addict team member, would I want to smash a pie? Always the newest member.

    • And my origin ID is benjaminfick

    • Lets try it again…

  13. Lekittynoir!
    Nerdiest moment, how to choose just one? The year HP world opened at Universal I went with my now husband. I am completely obsessed with all things Potter. The moment I walked through the gates into the WWoHP and saw Hogwarts I broke out into tears. Not just little weepy eyed tears, oh no, loud sobs of joy. A grown woman nerding out for all to see.
    I suck at math. Boo, math.
    The Ultimate Answer is 42, duhskies
    Never smashed or received a smash in the face but always wanted to! Anyone up for a pie fight? PIE ME ADDICTS!

    • OOOOOoooh I am still waiting to save up some $$$ and time to go see HP World. It looks really cool. 😉

      • Did you see the details on the expansion opening THIS SUMMER??? Eeeeeeeeeeeee *jumping with joy!* Gringotts Bank ride! Knockturn Alley…uhhhh, I mean… I’m no dark wizard! I’m a Ravenclaw.
        Seriously, I hope you can go sometime soon. The attention to detail is amazing and the butter beer is just perfect. Make sure you have a spending money budget because otherwise you’d go broke. So many cool things to buy.

        • I put together a HUGE HP themed party for a friend. Made all the stuff myself. Including sorting hat. Gave out tickets to 9 1/2 for the invite. Had cloaks and scarves for them to use when sorted. Had all sorts of fun “magic” experiments for them to do. And the goodie bags…they LOVED me. 😉

        • I saw the construction for this last November. My Mom is a total Wart and is already planning the trip to go back.

      • I love you too! Accio HP party! Also a nerdy thing about me is that I use the word accio daily.

  14. Origin ID – saramary3

    What was your geekiest/nerdiest moment? – I worked at WalMart before they had hand scanners and memorized the UPC codes to heavy items. I still remember the code for great value brand kitty litter – 7874212688

    What was your favorite/hated mathematical equation?
    Fav- cute ones

    (\_/) /\_/\ /\___/\
    (‘ x’) (=^^=) ( o.o )
    (“)(“) (“)(“) ( ( ) ( ) )

    What is the Ultimate Answer? – 42

    Have you ever used Pi? Have you ever smashed pie in someones face or had it smashed in yours? – Mmmmmm…. Pie…..

    Which Addict Team Member would you like to smash a pie on? – Hmmmm… That’s tough. I think smashing Wookie and Bunny would be too messy cause of the fur. So… Alissa!!!

    Put the phrase, “PIE ME ADDICTS” in your comment. – “PIE ME ADDICTS”

  15. Nerdiest Moment(s) – Pewpewshazaam – when I was a wee lad in High School I played a game called World of Warcraft (just loaded the game back up recently, partay time) and a special event took place in one of the zones every 3 hours (3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24 military time) and I needed it for a low level character so I’d go at the 3 am and 6 am times since I couldnt fight the stronger players who would normally go to slaughter those who needed it. (Although this one time was pretty epic, some super high level guy was trying to get it for his younger player so when he thought the arena was clear (no one else was there) he logged and I ran in and nabbed the chest whilst he switched to his lowbie XD)

    TLDR; I set my alarm(S for 3 and 6 am) for an online video game so I could win items. Did this for a couple weeks in High School.

    • oops. My name is Matt A… if my email doesn’t give that away.

      Oh and probably Wookie for the pie smashing. I heard the Wookie Race love pie.

      And OBVIOUSLY 42 – Dougie Adams – HGTTG

      • tsk tsk tsk…no additions 😉

      • Or a time in Everquest when I waited 2 weeks straight for an extremely rare mob to spawn (Fabled Lord Inquisitor Seru) sitting in his chambers figuring out his spawn timer to be on for when I could kill him… not logging out of the game just completely absorbing all my time into waiting for him and watching TV.

        good times.

      • Not actually gonna win the competition, I think I’m not the nerdiest out there, but just highlighting my Nerdiest moments 😛

    • Any of our time spent in EverQuest was a geek fest. lvl 48 bard lfg!

  16. I take it we won’t be getting an unlock for Homer’s Pieman skin… 🙁

  17. Origin ID: Kurzdorfer. My geekiest moment was traveling to Disney (ya’know, the home of the nice non-murderous mouse) this past February and buying the Lego Simpsons house, as well as $100.00 in Simpsons Merch at the Quickie Mart in Universal, yet I’m too cheap to buy donuts on TSTO. Ma-ath? Ohh, math, no, I don’t do math. Numbers are jerks! Pi without an E, someone needs spell check (damn nerds with their math and their misspelled desserts). PIE ME ADDICTS! D’oh!

  18. Origin ID: r-lynchmob nerdiest moment was getting my master’s in accounting at an engineering school. The ultimate answer is of course 42. PIE ME ADDICTS

  19. …”Addicts and their family not eligible to participate”…this addict will still eat some pie…if my pie is 28 & 1/4 inches around, how big is it???

  20. Anybody watch The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Think the ultimate geek is the guy who posed the following question on Y! Questions:

    If I eat myself will I double in size or wither away to nothing?

  21. MsEightyTwo

    Pi. Oh Pi. I never truly understood your worth. I’m okay with that. My geekiest moment was when I went BANANAS over finding out Neil deGrasse Tyson was going to do a updated Cosmos. BANANAS! My hubby looked at me like I was insane. (Ask me if I cared.) Carl Sagan is a god. But I LOVE me some Dr. Neil!

    PIE ME ADDICTS

  22. Orgin ID- SanctumSix. I’ve had too many nerdy moments to narrow it down to a most. I have never thrown a pie in anyones face nor been pied because thats a terrible waste of delicious pie! I would however be glad for you to PIE ME ADDICTS!

  23. ICarly, have many nerdy moments… my friends think I’m so cool then I say a Star Trek reference or I refer to an old cartoon and they’re like “you’re an undercover dork/need!” So I always loved the quadratic formula. The ultimate answer is Love. I used pi in school to solve circle equations and to enter this contest “pi me addicts” I smash pie in my face whenever it’s around. I would smash pie on Wookie cuz he’s not an ewok but I could still reach and it would get stuck on his hair and he’d have to make the Wookie noise then his mom would help him:)

  24. 1. I want to put a pie on all your faces cause I love this site so much PIE ME ADDICTS

  25. Living In the non US rest of the world today is just 14/3 we dont get a pi day as there is no fourteenth month 😉

  26. Mmmmmmmmmm pie

  27. How ironic that I just had that exact same number tattooed on my butt. I call it my ‘Moon Pi’

  28. WanderingCaveman

    WanderingCaveman

    It’s hard to pick just one geeky moment, but I did once drive an hour to visit a comic shop that was closing down (Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash). The Ultimate Answer is 42 (anyone figured out the question yet?). Yes, I have used Pi. I have a vague recollection of throwing pies, possibly at a summer camp… but it’s a bit of a fuzzy memory. And Bunny seems like the most entertaining choice to to smash a pie on.

    PIE ME ADDICTS

  29. I gotta make two strawberry pies tomorrow…mmmm, pie…I often need to know the circumference of things (cause I’m a freak) so Pi is handy…lol
    My 2D attempt sux so far…

  30. My favourite pie is a tie between Shepherd’s Pie and Lemon Meringue Pie.

    But switching desserts from pie to donuts, at FP level 6, I am not only getting $94 per action, but also got a donut from two neighbour’s yesterday and another one from a neighbour’s today. Got $56,400 and 3 donuts visiting neighbour’s last two days. Hurray!!!

    • It’s a three-way tie for me. Key Lime, Pecan (pronounced pee-can), and Pumpkin.

    • Makes me wanna tap tap tap more …. I’m less than 300fp points away from Stampy. Anyone else get Donuts from neighbours?

    • Ooooh. Take a screenshot if you would please and email it in to us of the donuts. And let us know when you got them (how many taps).

      • Will do!

        I had the full 300 taps each of the two days, but it seemed completely random who and when I got the 3 donuts from. The person I got it from last night was not one of the two I got it from on Wednesday.

        • Yah, mine is random too. I tapped through 19 neighbors tagging and tapping buildings, I got one. (Though you don’t see a donut, just an extra added to your town.) 😉
