Pies at CFUnited

How many people can say they broke a bone while at a seemingly harmless intellectual conference of web developers?

Anyone?

Well I can! The goofballs at Webapper got a pallet of styrofoam plates and bought out the city's supply of whip cream.

THERE WAS A FIRE FIGHT!!

It was chaos in the parking lot. A few pies in, I realized my ring was gone and stopped the action to search. I can barely get the ring off with soap and water, yet it was off in a flash with whip cream. Praise Jesus, a gentleman in an XKCD shirt found it. Then while running around in slippery flip flops, I rebroke my toe, at least it feels that way. I guess technically I didn't BREAK a bone at CFUnited, but I'm sure, the way it hurts now, I "rebroke" it at the same spot it broke seven weeks ago.

A dozen guys and one girl, smashing pies into each others' faces, shirts, hair, ears... oh the humanity! Then when supplies were dwindling, we kamikazed the onlookers, using the whip cream on our bodies to attack them. I must say I love whip cream when applied to ice cream or a strawberries and cream frapaccino from Starbucks. But when there are 8 or 10 whip cream covered people in an elevator, the smell is less than awesome.
