Sorry for being an ignorant Dane, please enlighten me... I'm getting very curious... and hungry - what is a real chicken pot pie then?

A

I already answered this.

It's broth, a pinch of saffron, squares of thick dough, peeled quartered potatoes and chicken breast meat slowly cooked in -- a pot (!) and nothing else save maybe carrots & onions. Purists stick with the noodles, potatoes and chicken. That's real, genuine, Lancaster pot pie.

You don't have a chicken pot pie. You have chicken pot pie. It isn't a pie. It's pot pie. It's more like a soup or stew.

Sorry to do this to y'all, but this little tune popped into my head in the elevator while returning from Starbucks just now:

Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Inspector Gadget
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, DOO-DOO


Enjoy. :)

Fantastic show... or at least it was when I was younger. I haven't seen it in many years.
 
"if it weren't for my horse, i never would have spent that year in college."

Lewis Black said it, but I don't know the context.
 
I went through an entire week in high school where i whistled the "happy birthday" song constantly. I still really can't explain it, since it was months away from my own, and didn't know anyone at the time who was having a birthday.

As for random associations, any time someone says the phrase "both kinds" I automatically follow up with "country and western" from the line in The Blues Brothers. I can't shake it.
 
also: choppin' broccoli, choppin' broccolee, choppin' broccolay .

another one: "once, twice, fwee times a wady"

and others from that SNL episode but I can't think of the others right now but I always think of Eddie Murphy when I hear them. I was about 10 when I saw that episode.

I always think of pot pie as "chicken pot,chicken pot, chicken pot pie!!!"

that's it! it's one of his comedy routines from the late 90's. he describes it as the kind of thing that just gets in your head and can essentially cause an aneurysm if you think about it too hard and try to make sense of it. :D
 
My favorite part of the Jsut Shoot Me episode was the discussion about the vaccuum tubes and sending tennis balls through the lines.

Oh and to add to our collective misery, two gems...

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful ship...

Ring ring ring ring ring banana phone. Ring ring ring ring ring banana phone
 
a few years ago i had that damn song by n-sync bye bye bye i hated that song, but i just couldn't get it out of my head.
 
Lucky for me, my daughter decided she wanted to watch a Christmas music video. Woo hoo.

You better watch out, you better not cry...
 
My wife mentioned to me that she went to lunch with her Mom yesterday, and she had a chicken pot pie. I immediately thought of David Cross on the Just Shoot Me episode, then this thread.

So....bump.

No it's magnets! :p haha
 
Amazing! I really get a kick out of this thread. Nice to see it poke it's head out of the ground now and again.

how did you ever find it?:confused:

Chicken Pot Pie is so bad for you.
How do you figure? Noodles, chicken, potatoes, potentially some vegetables. It's practically health food.

Unless, of course, you're referring to the over-processed frozen stuff shown previously in this thread. Then, well, probably.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay, my oh my what a wonderful day...

Tag.
 
My youngest child is currently infatuated with "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly". It's not really a song, unless you've seen the old cartoon narrated by Burl Ives. He doesn't really sing, but a guitar strums along to the words.

I wonder if anyone ever found a fly in their chicken pot pie?

That's exactly what I was referring to. I've never had a "real" chicken pot pie.

Hehehe - my cousin and I used to love that song when we were kids...it was on a record that we had with a bunch of other song that we loved, but I'm sure drove our parents nuts...like "There's a frog on a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea!" Tag....

Plenty of sunshine, heading my way, zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay.

Oh Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder, it's the truth....

Okay, I'll stop now.

Pretty sad that this film will never see the light of day, at least in the United States. There were some wonderful characters and animations. Brer rabbit and Brer Fox....

Must be careful not to offend....

P.S. - vacuuum. vacuuum.
