and besides, they're just forums

A google search for "forums" yields 1.9 billion results. Assuming only every thousand results is an actual forum, that still leaves 1.9 million forums to conquer. One a day will take you 5200 years. Assuming you have 60 years of life left, you need to take over 87 forums daily.

It's doable, I suppose.

I do like a good strawberry rhubarb pie. I don't know about any of that other stuff. My mom says just rhubarb pie is good but I've never tried it. No recipes, just a suggestion.

Damn... That's a lot.

Good thing I wasn't serious!

You should try strawberry rhubarb beer pie. It's to DIE for!

To the original poster:

Why not invent a new food?

Make a strawberry rhubarb pie and pour some beer in. Or make a strawberry-rhubarb-beer smoothie.

You can buy or make your own rhubarb beer if you are into homebrews.

That does sound damn good, especially the smoothie. I don't know if I could waste a beer like that though, for the most part beer tastes better than any kind of pie (blasphemy to some I know). And yes Jones I am TRUTH! das truthenheimer.

By the way, a reply to myself:

4 cups diced rhubarb
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, and halved, if large
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
Pinch salt

In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, orange zest, cornstarch and orange liqueur, and toss to thoroughly combine. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared casserole.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 9 tablespoons of butter, flour, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar and salt and cut together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake until the topping is golden brown and crispy and fruit is bubbly in places, about 45 minutes.

Cool briefly and serve warm, with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or creme fraiche, if desired.

I'm into homebrew...especially PSP homebrew. They've got some pretty useful and fun apps. (PSP-PDA is one of my favorite useful apps)

Original Xbox homebrew is pretty awesome as well. Xbox Media Center rules!

(sorry, that was a stretch in a vain attempt to relate it to gaming

)

Wow... you know, I've thought about creating this thread before. Then I had a vision...

Yeah isn't it great, and the best part is it just keeps going on and on...Ben and I had a good laugh about it.

We got this far without a reference to Be-Bop-A-Re-Bop Rhubarb Pie?

Must not have many NPR fans here.

Okay, I'm rapidly growing tired of the charade. How do you at least *think* you're related to Ben?
