    Whew–I spaced out a little there for a few seconds. I heard “recall … pot … cookies,” and kinda panicked.

    Sorry … what was I saying?

    These Onion bits always crack me up.

    Pot pies are more than onions… come on! Although the best are those little beef pies from Schnieders. Man, those are good.

    If you’ve ever wondered why it’s called The Onion… From Wikipedia:

    Reportedly, it was Chris Johnson’s uncle, Wm. Nels Johnson, who came up with the idea to name the paper The Onion.”People always ask questions about where the name The Onion came from,” said President Sean Mills in an interview with Wikinews, “and when I recently asked Tim Keck, who was one of the founders, he told me…literally that his uncle said he should call it The Onion when he saw him and Chris Johnson eating an onion sandwich. They had literally just cut up the onion and put it on bread.” According to editorial manager, Chet Clem, their food budget was so low when they started the paper that they were down to white bread and onions

    I love their “fictional” history of the paper:

    Officially, the paper purports to be over 250 years old, having originally published in the mid 18th century. It was named the “Mercantile Onion” because those were the only two English words the paper’s immigrant founder, Friedrich Siegfried Zweibel, knew at the time. (“Zwiebel” is German for onion.) The newspaper’s motto was “Tu Stultus Es”, or ‘You are stupid’ in Latin.

    In 1896 Zweibel’s 20-year-old grandson, T. Herman Zweibel became editor, a position he supposedly holds to this day despite being over a century old and largely senile. For much of the 20th century the paper was highly reactionary and violently opposed every social reform the century brought forward, from women’s suffrage to married characters sleeping together in the same bed on television.

    Priceless.
