Ugh. So now I have to wonder, if I reran the pie poll with four options and multiple choice, how would it go? Do I dare?

If so, what's the 4th choice?

@mmasnick I think you should get out of the pie drama while you have a chance. It’s too heated
@mmasnick You should have a poll to pick the fourth choice for the multiple choice poll.
@mmasnick cow. Cow pies.
@misterich @mmasnick You realise beef pies are a thing?

@Sandrew @mmasnick yes — I'm in New Zealand where such things are ubiquitous — but I was making a joke.

Cow pies are what the cow leaves in the field

@misterich @mmasnick Ah, OK, sorry I missed the humour.
I didn't recognise it as meaning cow pats, the term I prefer, for avoiding confusion.
@mmasnick you should force the pies to try to form a coalition government first
@mmasnick Cherry? But no. I know the winner is hard to accept but how does multiple choice even work in this case? It won't be ranked, and if I were to choose two I would want to rank them.
@mmasnick definitely cherry — or, better yet, a pre-poll poll to determine the 4th entrant

@mmasnick

"all of the above" worked for us :p

@mmasnick Also, do we need to stay in the realm of sweet pies? Or are savory pies on the table? (Get it? "On the table?") Beef and Kidney, for example. Or, we could take the Taskmaster route. Toothpaste pie, frozen peas pie, marbles pie, and a picture of Greg Davis pie.
@mmasnick you should just make all four choices "pecan"! Then declare Vox Populi, Vox Dei when pecan wins.
@mmasnick key lime or cheesecake (which my father in law calls cheese pie)
@ripologist I'm guessing you'd LOVE my key lime cheesecake pie!
@mmasnick We always had chocolate pie as well as pumpkin...
@mmasnick apple will still win.
@mmasnick do a forced ranking. It will be a success
@mmasnick Blueberry! Though given half a chance I’d love to tempt you with a fresh Saskatoon berry pie!
@mmasnick You could have both peCAHN pie and peCANN pie.
@mmasnick
Mince pie
Shepherd's pie
Steak and kidney pie
Scotch pie
Macaroni pie
@mmasnick this is a real time demonstration of how faculty hiring meetings work
@mmasnick it is always pumpkin pie. All other answers are trolls and bots from the big pie lobby.
@mmasnick include all the pies from the comments of the first poll.
@mmasnick It wouldn't matter. Even if you petitioned the marshal of the supreme court to overturn your poll, fraudulently claiming that a malicious AI teamed up with the CIA and Venezuela to manipulate your poll, apple pie and America would still win. Even if you incited a violent insurrection to falsely crown your fascist pecan pie, apple pie and America would still win. As long as one American draws breath and dreams of freedom, apple pie and America would still win.
@mmasnick Answer will still be pecan.
@mmasnick I'mma be honest with you, chocolate pecan is my kryptonite.
@mmasnick Choose violence: Boston Crème Pie
@mmasnick ""All the above choices are Wrong and I will be opinionated about it in the replies."
@mmasnick Key lime cheesecake pie.
