Pot Pie Crisis
Um, my BS antennae are up, so is this for real, or what?
Not that anything on the 'net has ever been spoofed, of course…
The fact that it’s “Onion Videos” might be a clue… 
ZoneAlarm won’t even let me bring that one up.

Oh, those wacky Onion folks.
I’ve wondered periodically just where would one go after working at a place like that. It must look great on a resume that you were a journalist for them but jeez! Who else is looking for that kind of consistently twisted but funny humor?
I’m seriously wondering…where is that address he read off, really?
It’s about 4 miles from my house. Right near a cemetery I run through on long runs.
It’s not real. So, send ME your piping hot pot pies.
The crisis is that one can’t find a really good pot pie anywhere.
I agree. You will one day come to my home and I will make you one from scratch. People who have my pot pies never leave my home. I am blessed with a 4 bedroom home and there are 89 people living here.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I didn’t think to look at the URL, but next time I indeed will, thank you.
Also, where the “C-Span” watermark would normally be in the video, the “C” is replaced by the Onion’s symbol.
It seems I missed that, too, and thank you.
and I thought this was about a marijuana recall…

They didn’t want the spinach & mushroom pies, so you can send those ones to me.
I"m glad this was a spoof. Pot pies are one of the great foods of history.
You can get 10 Banquet pies for about $6.00 Loaded with…stuff.
Yes indeed.
I must object, however, to your sig line:
There is no food substance that cannot be improved by adding bacon, except bacon.
I agree with the spirit, but I can’t go along with the letter. I’d argue that bacon can be improved by adding bacon. I’ll now use logic and mathematics to prove it.
- Bacon of some quantity is a good thing.
Let xbacon = a quantity of bacon.
xbacon=good
- Adding more bacon to some quantity of bacon is a better, improved thing.
Let y = additional bacon.
xbacon=good
xbacon+y=better
and
xbacon+y>xbacon
because y, as long as it is bacon, is always a positive number.
- Therefore, the addition of bacon improves all foods, including bacon.
More about this: If xbacon is zero, meaning you have no bacon, the addition of y, more bacon, brings you up to having bacon. A good thing.
Even if xbacon is a negative number, meaning you owe people bacon, the addition of y, more bacon, means you owe less people bacon, meaning you’ll eventually be able to turn that into more potential bacon for yourself. This is a moral matter, really, but I’d say that if you owe people bacon (xbacon<0), it’s best not to pay them back because, hey, don’t give away bacon.
I ordered the chicken pot pie at the Boston Market (franchise restuarant). I though that it was good until I got home and looked at my wife’s Weightwatcher’s book. There are a day’s worth of points in that one pot pie. Between the flakey crust and all of the cream used in the gravy, it is definately not a diet item, but oh so good, nonetheless.
