Laughing Squid has an brilliant comment commencing their post on the same topic. Someone classically bitching about the mess made and the mass selfishness on the pie fighters' end. And we couldn't agree more. Next time, let's take the action inside, yes? Bloomingdale's, the Ferry Building, a Board of Supervisors meeting, Zeitgeist's beer garden during happy hour, Otis on a Saturday night, and...anyplace else we're forgetting?

Screw the cardboard tube battle, this sounds like something that needs to happen every night.

This evening at 5 p.m. sharp, head on down to the tourist epicenter of San Francisco, the Powell Cable Car turnaround, for what will be a massive pie fight. According to Mr. Scott Beale over at Laughing Squid, SF0 player Herbie Hatman is organizing a formal-attire pie fight (think Mabel Normand, Keystone Cops) which will get all up in your face (and maybe an unsuspecting tourist or two.) And if we weren't such a bitch about getting out clothes dirty -- although, yes, we have two different kinds of cheese stains on our pants today -- we would go. But you should go. All of you.

Also, formal wear is encouraged and "shaving cream is much more pleasant than whipped cream," according to Hatman. Who knew?

To find out more, go here. And again, that's:
