No sweat, man. I’d just loop that Batarang over his ‘nads, so when he tried to knock me out with it he’d be singin’ soprano. – Ukulele “Prepared” Ike ---

Ah, but what if they were 1920s-style “Fruit Pies”? Or even Justice Friends Fruit Pies? Nobody can resist those! I was thinking about starting a “Batman vs. The SDMB” thread. I mean, even the mighty Bat Computer couldn’t keep up with the flood of threads that get posted here. Out of deference to **Uke** though, I’ll just let that thought slip away… ---

And there I was, all innocent in my (relative) newbism, posting to [this Batman thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=209253).

It depends… Are the fruit pastries evil?? (Have they gone bad?) Bolulism - It’s what’s for dinner! ---

Would it help if I spelled Botulism correctly? Nah, didn’t think so. ---

Bah! You Hostess-fixated cronies are doing [Batman](http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess/batman9.htm) too much good. No one can resist the golden flaky goodness of those fruit pies. But what about other fruit pastry conconctions? Is Batman strong enough to resist THEM?
