Visa Approved!

I'm voting for pecan pie ala mode. Gotta blow the calorie count off the charts!

I will concede that pecan is indeed a manly pie, but I don't care for it. Love butter pecan ice cream (a manly ice cream btw), don't care for the pie.

I'm trying to find a good argument for cheesecake being a manly pie, but I'm not making very much progress. Shame really.

I guess I'm a sissy then... Key Lime (real Key Lime like you find in Florida) is a fav. How'd you know? Also fond of lemon, chocolate creme, and pecan.

Nyum, nyum, pie! Me likes pie too!

Lemme guess...Key Lime?

Anything that can be made in five minutes by mixing in a packet of stuff with some milk, is indeed, manly. Not even that caveman from the Geico commercials could mess up the Jello no-bake stuff.

And supporting argument for cheesecake being manly - Chicks dig it. It's like having a Mini. The car itself isn't necessarily manly. But, once you've got three chicks in there with you.... YOU'RE THE MAN!!!

Pecan pie ala mode is most definitely the best, and manliest, of the pie family.

I can totally get on board with this logic. Cheesecake is indeed manly.

I still gotta go with apple. Make it ala mode, and it's like the Chuck Norris of pies. You don't eat it, it eats you from the inside. That's how manly it is.

I just can't eat apples.

I like the "creamy apple-flavored filling" but I don't like the chunks of fruit.

Chunks of legumes..... now that I can get down with!

And why we're at it, can I get a woot woot for some beef jerkey?

Now that's some manly $#!T right there!

Woot woot for beef jerkey, the manliest of the manly foods for sure!

Now if it only came in a pie...

Remember those "pies" you make by the campfire by putting two buttered slices of bread into the little pie maker and sitting it in the fire?

I'm pretty sure you could stuff that thing full of beef jerkey and a little sharp cheddar and make one helluva manly "pie" sammich.

Any time you put the words "beef' and "jerky" together, you're talking man's talk.

Seeing recent responses in this thread (and having internet again), I just had to see what was what. And I laughed my hiney off! No one morphs a thread like us Russian forum folk.

Now, on to serious business: I used to say apple was my favorite, and no offense slim but the bigger the chunks the better, but these days I'd have to go with cherry. I, too, have always had a soft spot for chocolate creme pie, as well as banana creme pie, but haven't tasted either in many years.

Tell me, though - since I'm here in Russia and Vika likes to watch TV, every 3 minutes I see another 'choco-pie' commercial. Do those count as 'pie'? I hope so, because I've eaten and loved them since I was just knee high!

[slim 1,523]

I don't know if they count as pie.... it's like calling a Hot Pocket a sandwich. Technically, it is, but in reality, it's not.

Either way, it's good!

My subject is meant to be sarcastic. At the interview, the consul said "Visa approved". The Monday after the interview we called the support desk, and the next day received an answer from the consul: "Visa approved, you'll have it in 1 week". Yesterday we called for another status update, and today were told "Administrative review. If your visa is approved, it will take 1 or 2 weeks before it is printed, but quite often it can take much longer. If you don't receive your passport back in a month, call us again".

So, they've been lying to us for the past 2 weeks. Now Natasha and Vika will return to Volgodonsk and I'll return to Omaha, the future uncertain once more. I haven't decided yet whether I should change their tickets to a month or two from now, and try to be hopeful, or if I should just cancel them. There's no way to tell IF the visas will be approved now, since they have apparently changed their minds. I've spent all the money I had to bring Natasha and Vika back to the USA, so even if the visas get approved eventually, I don't know what to do.

Assuming I hear anything, ever, from the consulate, I'll let everyone know.

Aw man... I am soooooooo sorry to hear that... I wish they wouldn't tell people they are approved and then say oh I made a mistake.. they don't know what kind of plans people get ready to make especially with plane tickets and everything like that... oh I pray you get your visa soon.. I really do... oneder

I pray that posters will actually read past the first post. I really do.

(At least read until you get to the pie posts. Once you hit the pie posts you're probably safe.)
