Butterscotch pie v. Sam Brownback

[saltpoint]

QUESTION:

If the 2008 election came down to a choice between butterscotch pie and Senator Sam Brownback, for which of the two would you cast your vote?

[BlooInBloo]

1. Never had butterscotch pie, but it sounds AWESOME!

[saltpoint]

2. If I offered my true feelings on butterscotch pie, BlooInBloo, it would

skew the results of the poll.

Hint: I can't live without it.

8. I used to love me

some butterscotch sundaes when I was I kid but I can't eat that way anymore.

Are you having this poll cause..cause? Does brownback think he's what America needs?

[saltpoint]

10. Hi, zidzi. I'm having it because it needed doing.

[Cha]

15. Oh.

:D

[BlooInBloo]

11. I love cooking, but not so much the baking - but mebbe I'll try that sometime...

.... 'Cuz I suspect that you don't commonly encounter such nummies in the bakery of your average grocery store.

[saltpoint]

12. You are right. Used to be much more common, butterscotch pie. Bakery

trucks would drive through our neighborhood when I was a kid and the common favorites would be lemon meringue, coconut cream, apple, cherry, butterscotch, and in the fall, pumpkin.

We have the local grocery store bake team whip one up for us now and then.

14. Here's an apple butterscotch recipe that sounds yummy - think i'll try it this week!

22. O my. Thank you. Thank you. O my.

[BlooInBloo]

24. heh - little tart tang to complement the smooth buttery sweetness - perfect!

[saltpoint]

26. Well, as you might expect, here at Brownback headquarters the mood is

a bit depressed. The band began the evening's festivities up-tempo, with several dance numbers, but have gone to a playlist of traditional dirges. Several of the celebrants have dashed home to change and have returned in black attire. Hymnals have been distributed. The lights are dimmed -- something about not being able to afford the electgric bill -- and we're waiting to hear from Senator Brownback, who is upstairs.

Our upstairs reporter, Jeff Gannon, who knows his way in and out of just about any hotel upstairs you can name in greater metropolitan Washington, is with a spokesman from the Brownback campaign now. Let's go to Jeff upstairs and get a comment if we can.

"Jeff? Hello?"

( ) ( )

"Jeff? We're on the air. Hello?"

"Well, that's odd. All I hear is a kind of rhythmic breathy sound ..."

'In any case, the Brownback team can't be encouraged by the results here this evening, having plainly lost to Butterscotch pie in what appears to be a landslide."

3. Butterscotch here....

And I hate butterscotch.

:evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

6. LOL!

4. Where in the hell does a name . .

. . like "Brownback" come from? That's like taking on the surname Bluefoot or something.

[Richard Steele]

5. Even if "butterscotch" was code for "corn chowder diarrhea", it's that pie in a landslide.

[saltpoint]

7. Yep. Something downright repellant about a Brownback presidency.

Howdy, and all good wishes to ya, dicksteele.

[saltpoint]

9. It appears from early returns that Butterscotch pie holds the lead.

While many precincts have yet to report, supporters of the Butterscotch pie option must be duly encouraged at this early hour.

[Richard Steele]

19. DU will crash briefly around 10:30; Brownback will be ahead by 2% when it comes back online.

Exit polls will be adjusted to match the new result.

[saltpoint]

21. LOL!!!

What a scream.

It's those Piebold machines what done it!

[Richard Steele]

29. Bwahaha!

I'm kicking myself for not thinking of "Piebold"!

13. Does butterscotch pie believe in evolution and think the birth control pill should remain legal?

If so, it's no contest.

[saltpoint]

16. Yes, it does. Butterscotch pie, in and of itself, is EVIDENCE of evolution, as

only a truly advanced and evolved culture could so much as produce butterscotch pie.

As to your other question, here too is an evolutionary resonance: the libido is inarguably bolstered by butterscotch pie. Not the ingredients separately mind you, but the thing taken as a whole.

Potent, free-spirited, and totally yummy.

Senator Brownback faces long odds in this match-up.

17. Does Karl Rove know about you?

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

20. LOL! Hi, sfexpat2000. A happy Sunday to ya.

I hope September is exactly as you'd hoped it might be, and let me say thanks again for that OUTSTANDING prompt and encouragement you offered me on Simon Schama's book. It has arrived and I am BURIED in it very happily.

Thank you.

[Cabcere]

18. Butterscotch pie sounds delicious.

:D Sam Brownback...eh, not so much. :P

[Chipper Chat]

25. Hoof Hearted gaining on Butterscotch pie. Into the turn.

It's butterscotch pie bearing down on the finish line. Wait. Hoof Hearted! Butterscotch pie is losing ground. This smells. Hoof Hearted on Butterscotch pie. Hoof Hearted - the winner! Hoof Hearted in the winner's circle. Butterscotch Pie recoiling.

[monmouth]

27. It's great with grahamn (sp?) cracker crust...Yumm

[saltpoint]

28. Yes. Sam Brownback bad. Butterscotch pie good. With grahamcracker crust

even better.
