"joy at the misfortunes of others...and pie!"

One of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. Found via the journal of thette.

Mmm, pie!

Dark, dark, painful pie.

I totally want to make this now!

[greyaenigma.livejournal.com]

Send me a slice!

Oh, man. That's not only funny, but it actually looks delicious! I'm printing out the recipe tomorrow....

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Let me know how it turns out if you make it! :D

[lietya.livejournal.com]

Definitely!

I couldn't resist trying it out tonight - and it lives up to its billing. Murderously rich, but delicious. I'm impressed.

I owe you my eternal thanks, too, because I figure I can wow people with this one for years to come. ;)

Damn --that's awesome!! I'm excited to hear it's that good--I'm going to have to try it out very soon!

Ah, schadenfreude pie....

It's the perfect dessert after ...REVENGE, a dish best served cold.

(to kick it up a notch, douse your schadenfreude pie with a dollop whipped cream, evoking the frothy despair of your enemies).

Seriously, though - what kinda of demented zeitgeist do the Germans have, they have a word that means satisfaction in the misfortune of others?!? WTF?

On the other hand, I do so love the word. When I am wealthy industrialist and real estate tycoon, I shall name my yacht the U.S.S. Schadefreude.

You don't think whipped cream would be de trop?

And I love that they have a word for it--since it's an emotion I've certainly felt before!

Hey you! I have absolutely no idea --because tivo does all my thinking for me :)

But, let me share with you the very exciting www.tvguide.com (they have a thing where you can set up your local area and you can see tv listings and the channel they're on!).
