How to Make a Schadenfreude Pie
John Scalzi
My word, what is this dark and vaguely sinister-looking pie you see before you? Well, Ill tell you. Its the worlds first Schadenfreude Pie, the pie to enjoy while you are reveling in the horrible misfortunes of others. Why is there a Schadenfreude Pie? Because after I wrote the headline for this entry, I wondered to myself, what would Schadenfreude Pie taste like?
My guess: Dark. Rich. And oh so bittersweet.
And you know what? Thats exactly what it tastes like. Also and this is really just a perfect but unintentional extension of the whole schadenfreude metaphor you really only want a small slice; too much of this pie and itll sit in the pit of your stomach like a rock of judgment, pulling you down. Small slice? Excellent. Big slice? Youll regret it. Just like schadenfreude itself.
Want a slice? Sure you do. Heres how you make it.
Read on, my friends, read on.
