It's both. It's how and why the ball crosses the finish line.

Or as the pie analogy goes, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear:
Pie à la Mode (literally "pie in the current fashion"/ "fashionable pie")
It's really amazing what's "pie"led just into the first 20 digits, ala... ala...

Certainly a lot more than two scoops. What a fantastic allegory... no wonder I get no party invitations. Sooo... I organize my own to make reality happen, heh:
HistoryPie à la Mode was allegedly invented at the Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge, Washington County, New York, in the 1890s.[2]
Charles Watson Townsend, in Cambridge, NY
The claim is that while visiting the hotel, Charles Watson Townsend ordered a slice of apple pie with ice cream. When asked by another guest what he called the dish, he named it Pie à la Mode. Townsend subsequently ordered it by that name every day during his stay. When he later ordered it by that name at Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City, the waiter responded that he had never heard of it.[3] Townsend chastised the waiter by stating:
Do you mean to tell me that so famous an eating place as Delmonico's has never heard of Pie à la Mode, when the Hotel Cambridge, up in the village of Cambridge, NY serves it every day? Call the manager at once, I demand as good serve [sic] here as I get in Cambridge.[2]The manager, when called by the waiter, declared "Delmonico's never intends that any other shall get ahead of it... Forthwith, pie à la mode will be featured on the menu every day".[4] A reporter for the New York Sun newspaper overheard the disturbance and wrote an article about it the next day. Soon, Pie à la Mode became a standard on menus around the United States.[2][4]When Charles Watson Townsend died on May 20, 1936, a controversy developed as to who really invented Pie à la Mode...
In fact, that's such a great analogy that I figured I should look up that date in history, because I've learned to do just that. Otherwise I'd miss out. His story comes alive.
I wonder if people think that I just throw in random, sketchy, unworthy-of-the-Kingdom songs into the mix, yet

Hear the parable of the sower. It's for the ages:
It's one thing to be known as "Mr. Run Around"Keeping your eye on the ball, instead of the heavenly pie.
It's another to be known as just the biggest fool in town...
It's both, because eyes are the windows to the soul, and
"Rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep or REMS) is a unique phase of sleep in mammals and birds, characterized by random rapid movement of the eyes, accompanied by low muscle tone throughout the body, and the propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly."
