Do you celebrate March 14 as Pi Day?

@evan Fun story, 3 years back I was runner up to be "Pi" in the big Pi Day celebrations here in Markham. Some local council member used their political leverage to get it for their kid instead and it's put me off celebrating ever since. Sure I still go to the parade and support the pizza and baked good sales, but it just all feels like a sham now. Even the Pi costume and the mini cheesecakes they throw at us just don't have the same heft as they used to. #NotMyPiDay

@jamie@cosocial.ca @evan@cosocial.ca no but it still tickles me a little 😊

@evan More recognize than celebrate although we are ordering pizza today. I do have friends who go all out and big get together with many, many, many pies.
-
@evan Yes, but it’s an ongoing exercise in trying to be a person who prioritizes having fun, over being a person who grins their teeth at the MM/DD date format.

@evan Thank you for this poll

@evan Yes, but this year I forgot and I don't really have pie ingredients.

@evan in all seriousness though I demand photographic proof from those who “celebrate”. I need to see party hats and blowers, balloons, rented bouncy castles and clowns, etc. I do not subscribe to the idea that ordering a pizza and have some lemon meringue for dessert constitutes “celebration”. That’s just a dressed-up Tuesday night in my books.
