Inspire pie here

This whole thing was based upon seeing the first picture, and deciding it would be funny to stick a big pie in the guys mouth. Then I extended the principle, and what followed was quite amusing, at least for a wee small while.

In my mind I'd envisaged it as an ever growing collection of images and situations, in the same way that, say, failblog is. And I'm generally quite pleased with the posts that were made here.

But it's a very small idea to cover an increasingly large area, and although there are no shortage of subjects, or ways to link the blog to contemporary events, it was going to start getting repetitive very quickly.

Hence the lack of posts.

I could insert other things (safety pins, lampshades, toast, atoms, giraffes, treacle)

I could extend the principle from just inserting pies into people's mouths to other things (anuses, letterboxes, disk drives, round pies into square holes, portfolios)

But as I mentioned in a previous post, it's all a bit of a one-trick pony.

So I guess I'm declaring this blog in hiatus, until I can think of something clever to do with it.

Many thanks to John Cooper, better known to me as his monicker , MachineryElf, at the Head Heritage and Doodlebug websites, for his enthusiasm and help. Apologies for not using the material you sent me, John. It's not that it wasn't worth using. More that I didn't want to burn up a limited idea too quickly.
