Woot! Woot!
There's even a recipe online for Schadenfreude Pie, deep, dark, and sinful. I ran across it in my cookbook binder the other night looking for a recipe of my late mother's.
There's a time and a place for everything.

"Dark. Rich. And oh so bittersweet...but you really only want a small slice; too much of this pie and it'll sit in the pit of your stomach like a rock of judgment, pulling you down. Small slice? Excellent. Big slice? You'll regret it. Just like schadenfreude itself."
