Poor Uncle!

[chridd]

We have to find a cure!

[ratammer]

What kind of thing could cure that?

[chridd]

I don't know… maybe someone could write a Pie-thon program to search for the cure.

[madge]

Or we could look into qol improvements like making him cake instead of pie?

[chridd]

Could he taste it if we called the pie "cake"?

[ratammer]

Do any conditions care what you call anything?

[chridd]

If magpies and mathematical constants are included in the things he can't taste, then presumably it's a linguistic-related condition.

[madge]

oh, so what if he closes his eyes and we just throw food into his mouth? he'll have no idea what he's eating !

[ratammer]

Or we teach him a different language where pies aren't called pies!

[madge]

you have to be careful, though! if we go for French, it's "tarte", and if he has a relapse it might mean that he won't be able to have pies *or* tarts!

[ratammer]

There are a lot of languages to get through!

[madge]

but if it generalises we could deny him entire culinary categories! we must use this power wisely

[ratammer]

I am anything but wise.

[madge]

Samwise?

This conversation made me hungry

[ratammer]

Eat me!

[madge]

i don't know how i'd feel about eating a rat

[ratammer]

Even if it consented?

[madge]

Even if the rat consented, I would have to consent, too.

[ratammer]

Well, of course. That's what I'm trying to convince you to do.

[madge]

I'm not sure I would. What's the benefit of eating a rat, even if the rat consents?

[Seven]

good question

[ratammer]

I'm not sure I would. What's the benefit of eating a rat, even if the rat consents?

Nutrition?
