In gearing up to begin My Quest to sample and rank all of Bakers Square’s pies, it appeared that things were not going to be as simple as I originally thought.
Here is how my simplistic mind thought it would work:
I’d eat pie…determine if it was good or not and then move on to the next.
Simple, right? Guess again.
How do you rate apple pie versus French silk? Cherry versus Resses Peanut butter Cup pie?
As in any competition, there needs to be rules. After all, you can’t just have a free-for-all. Mass chaos could ensue. Just think what would happen if there were no rules in football? No holding penalties, false starts, off sides.
What would you be left with? Twenty-two guys running around the field chasing the ball?
Wrong.
Remember…no rules. This means no limit to the number of players on the field, or on the team for that matter.
There must be rules.
First and foremost, it’s a safety issue. After all, many of the rules in football are there to protect the players, keep them from getting a season- or career-ending injury. Or worse, being laid up in a hospital bed looking at years of rehab just to be able to walk again. No sir, I won’t let that happen to me on My Quest.
Rules…there must be rules.
Defining them will be another matter.

Shouldn't there be a rule against eating so much pie?
Oh wait. It's not as much a rule as it's a guideline from the American Medical Association.
I'd suggest a rule against anyone else from your dinner party tasting your slice of pie.
A) another fork = contamination of the sample
B) Get your own slice of pie!
Let's just say there is already a well established line of demarcation encompassing about a twelve foot area surrounding the pie. I would strongly urge you to keep on your side of the line. You could lose a digit if your fork gets too close.
