Okay… I could have passed by this idiotic post, but I’m a fucking MOCKINGBIRD, I’m just being true to my nature. Now, could you be mentally capable of getting a sense of humor? Geez.
Oh, please, please, good people, I still do not know whence comethe the “PIE” thing. Somone please do tell.
And, as for the OP, I sort of agree, but I agree more with other posters who have pointed out that sometimes, neatly used, such things can be wonderfulluy funny. (Sometimes, of ccurse, just tedious, but…oh well… …and if it is silly silly people merely trying to up the post-count, in ttat case they only make themselves look rather moroniic.
But, betraying my ignorance, I really would like to know about this “bring pie” thing.
I am all in favour of people bringiing pie, but I don’t think any of you would like me to bring my atempts at home-baking to you.
What an informative thread! I had no idea that WWII was really caused by the band “Toad the Wet Sprocket” going back in time and stealing Hitler’s breakfast. Who’d’ve guessed?

Loved pie! Whether pecan or pumpkin,
Apple crisp or blueberry,
Rhubarb, mincemeat or cherry,
Whether fit for a king or a bumpkin.
Remember when the Softee-Freeze truck would come down the street playing its cheerful jingle and you’d get all excited and run into the house to ask your Mom for a quarter to get a twisty cone with jimmies on top but she’d say “No it’s too close to dinnertime and it’ll spoil your appetite.”?
Actually, Toad in a Hole was a sex game Dolphie used to play with senior staff while skiing the Austrian Alps. Mishaps were usually quite painful and sometimes punishable by reassignment to the Russian front.
You historical revisionists are getting it all wrong. It was Goebbels who ran the Alpine amusement park, and the premier attraction wasn’t skiing, it was called Towed in the Hull. Participants were seated in rowboats and hauled up the mountains by half-tracks, then at the top of the slopes the towropes were released and the boats would free-slide down.
It is true that, if the terrain were particularly rugged, some rides would end with the passengers landing in the position informally known as Toed in the Piehole.
