Because you're curious about Baudrillard, and I'm here to help:

If you're pissed that I sucked you in with a classic and then bait/switched you to some simulacra nonsense, here is the expected nibblet:

Halloween sucks, and so does pumpkin pie.

pumpkin pie < sweet potato pie

I would have thought halloween would be guyvers favorite holiday. All the 11 year olds come banging on the door.

I like halloween personally but aside from this year and the last one i always build a maze and chase the little bastards with a chainsaw. Its the one day a year parents expect you to mess with their little droolers.

Goddamn.

Also, if the pie filling isn't properly seasoned/cooked, it's going to be crappy whether you use pumpkin or the little roots of sweetened fiber that I love.

Sweet potatoes are easier to prepare for pie. Pumpkin pie (made without just dumping in a can of preseasoned pumpkin crap) is a little harder, but it is certainly less of a process than cooking a turkey (whether roasting, smoking, or frying). My parents always wonder why I opt for the apple pie made from scratch at Thanksgiving as opposed to the pumpkin pie. Also, on that note, fuck whipped cream made with splenda. Weird texture, man. Weird texture.

I'm considering offering to cook everything for Thanksgiving, but I get the feeling I'll be declined as I won't be roasting Turkey until all of the moisture is gone and serving it with canned, no-sugar-added cranberry sauce. Maybe I'll get invited to my aunt and uncle's Thanksgiving where my uncle will fry up a glorious turkey and my aunt will make her pecan pie and monkey bread. One can dream.
