I saw this over at Boar’s Head Tavern and thought it might be fun here too.

Richard Dawkins recently wrote (I suppose he probably should have just quoted himself) that “Darwinian theory was the best idea of all time.” That may or may not be true.

The fellas at Boar’s Head are having some fun with it–someone even suggested Beer was the best idea ever and another the bacon cheeseburger.

What’s your take? What’s the best idea ever?

I’ll start by saying the dark chocolate M & M.

dark chocolate m&m’s with almonds ;0

The best idea ever was sending Christ to save us from our sins.

Someone didn’t read the article Jerry linked to…

I think my nomination for the best idea ever would be something much less grandiose. I vote for soap, or possibly toilet paper.

Phil, you are correct that PB must not have read the linked article. But he must have read my comment.

Both yours and Jerry’s.

I did not go to the link until after Phil criticized me.

She doesn’t even share that recipe with me.

Seriously.

The honest truth.

I’ve asked for it before. Answer: Nope – you’re not a blood relative sworn to secrecy.

Question (for her): What about the kids?

Answer: Only if they swear upon their mother’s life/grave (depending on the future year) that it will never be divulged outside of the blood-circle of trust.

Question (for me): Is Butterfinger Pie REALLY that good?

Answer: Yes it is, and it is probably a life-saver that I don’t know how to make it. Otherwise, instead of “once a year”, it would be “once a day”…

Butterfinger pie…are you serious…??

I wonder if there is a dark chocolate m & m pie…i’ll bet somewhere…

Maybe Zan will share the recipe with me since I’m such a nice guy?

Toilet paper is a good call too. I hear that sailors on air craft carriers don’t always have that luxury…marines either.

I will break into wendy’s recipe cabinet and see if I can get the butterfinger pie recipe.

That will break the ’soup nazi’s’ hold forever! ;)

#14 wendy makes a dark chocolate cream pie w/ dark chocolate shavings. Incorporating M&M’s is a million dollar idea!

SERVES 4-8 , 1 Pie

Ingredients
6 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, crushed

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 tsp. real vanilla
1 (12 ounce) carton Cool Whip
1 graham cracker crust (you can buy, wendy makes her own out of graham crackers and oreo cookies
Directions
1Mix first four ingredients together.
2Put it in pie crust.
3Chill.

Sounds delicious, PB, but I see several ingredients which I’m pretty sure aren’t involved, and at least two that are missing…

…I will just be content with my 1-2 pies/year…

for one, it’s missing dark chocolate m & m’s.

duh!
