16. Ha ha! Seriously?

Ok, here's the story.....

Barack and OH Gov. Ted Strickland stopped at a diner.

They decided to order some pie. Now, this restaurant didn't have sweet potato pie, all they had was cream pie. (BARACK OBAMA IS A FRUIT PIE ELITIST!!!!!) Do you like sweet potato pie? Well, I dont, but he does! And one day, he will have a sweet potato pie cook off. But he knows that NO ONE can make a better sweet potato pie than his mother in law.

Gov. Strickland had lemon meringue and Barack had coconut cream.

Anyway, the "wait staff" (gotta love this man's command of the English language) was lauging because the owner of the restaurant was a big Republican. After a while, here comes this man out with their pie. "Are you the owner?" Barack asked. "Yes." "How's business?"

(this is when we all laugh)

"Not so good." he said "Folks aren't able to afford my pie."

"Oh yeah" Barack said, "Wonder who's fault that is? Look, if you keep banging your head against the wall, eventually you say 'this hurts!' and you stop!"

Yep .... I just did all that from memory. :)

20. thank you! I must have been traveling when this hit the news.

I have wondered and couldn't figure it out, even from googling it.

Love the story.

[ZoltarSpeaks]

12. Actually it's plain old All-American apple pie. n/t

[wildflower]

6. Wow, how did you do the colors?

That is really cool (and looks really good!).

[ZoltarSpeaks]

17. It's colored sugar applied with a stencil

My wife cut the stencil from the PDF on the Obama site.

Funny, they didn't have pie stencils listed as a suggestion.

[NWPatriot]

23. I'll bet you can do it with...

a sugar-water wash and some colored sprinklies. I forget if you do it before or after you bake it. I'll look it up...

[racaulk]

7. And Mike's Hard Lemonade to boot!

Love it! Can I come over to your house? :hi:

[ZoltarSpeaks]

27. Champagne give me a headache

And you can pour a little hard lemonade (instead of lemon juice) on the pie if it's too sweet.

Yes, you are invited. :toast:

[JuniperLea]

8. My son grew pumpkins...

There's one on my dining room table... if this game goes into extra innings, I'm baking a pumpkin pie.

I just don't have the strength for it right now:)

I'm all flustered!

[Vilis Veritas]

My lemon meringue looks a bit like caramel at the moment. lol

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Not an O pie ... but my message to the Freepers.

You long timers will get it.

[SoonerPride]

24. What's under the awesome looking crust?

Hope?
Change?
Apples?

[Ranec]

26. Our sweet potato pie is in the fridge.

No pictures, but it is waiting for me.

[bitchkitty]

28. You like Obama, pie and you have a beagle.

I love you! Can we get married?

[ZoltarSpeaks]

29. With a name like that, how could I refuse? n/t

[bitchkitty]

31. My mom used to make sour cream and raisin pie -

sounds yucky, but it's actually incredibly delicious. I might celebrate tomorrow and make one. Thank goodness for All-Ready pie crusts! :)

on edit - oops! I replied to myself instead of the OP.

[elfrangel]

30. My larder/pantry is running obscenely low on supplies at the moment...

luckily the Schwan's man showed up today and they are having a special on (I kid you not) Fried Apple Pies....I bought a box. LOL

Now, I have a whole NEW reason to break those jokers out tonight. WHOO HOO!!!

[ebdarcy]

32. I've got a pecan pie waiting on me.

It's taking all my willpower not to start in on it yet.

[blogslut]

33. That pie is so cute!

The puppies make it very special. :)

I bought a pre-made pecan pie last week (for practice). Unfortunately, the bakery was out of pecan so I bought a frozen one. It was too rich and sweet and kind of put me off. So, tonight, no pie - except the one in my sig.

However, come Thanksgiving, I will eat pie and will think of my new president. :hi:

[InternalDialogue]

34. Cheers

Hoosier pie cooling on the counter, with a Dale's Pale Ale in the glass next to me right now.

Hopeful but anxious nonetheless.

[Cass]

35. Your little doggies are so adorable.

And I love the logo on your pie! Very cool!

I didn't make pie unfortunately. :-( I'm on a diet and it would have been too much temptation.

[Catshrink]

36. I wanted cherry but they only had sugar free. So I settled:

It's actually a linzer tart but close enough. I sure wish Costco had peach pie -- their apple pies are way too sweet.

[yardwork]

37. The dogs are ready to eat!

Adorable. The whole picture is adorable!

[Borgnine]

38. When Obama wins I'll be showing you my "O face"

[Lorien]

39. The puppies want PIE!

What kind of pie is it?

[sniffa]

40. It's not done yet - will return with photo

Chocolate banana cream pie. :9
