Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But I don't like pie.

If I only had a brain...
ita, tell me: Would you deliver an explosive pie if I needed it? If it was really important?
Consider your answer carefully.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

And? I do.
Would you deliver an explosive pie if I needed it? If it was really important?
No. But I'd hit people. Explosives, especially someone else's are no fun. I'd probably end up doing defense against meringue or something.

What whitefont?

Good advice, ita. Also -- cannoli? Yum. Cannoli pie!

If I only had a brain...
Okay. Hitting people is more than sufficient. Besides, it was going to be a pop-rocks kind of explosion, so meringue would have been the worst of it.
There is no whitefont, only Zul.
And on that note, I shall go take a nap. Because I can.

Kristen, don't let him buy you off with cannoli pie. Please. Unsweetened apple will be fine.

It is kind of scary that one of the best hours of television ever was written in a weekend.
Honestly, that doesn't surprise me. In my experience the best artists are usually also the fastest, because when things are working just right the art is spilling out of the creative parts of their minds as fast as their hands can create it. I would assume that the same holds true with the creative writing process when it's clicking, despite using different tools and a different medium. Out of Gas was a thing of beauty, and it seems natural to me that it would take less time to get it on the page than something less inspired that would involve false starts and second-guessing.
Or, to boil it down, Tim write goooood.
