If you were Tal Bachman, singer of "She's So High" and son of Randy Bachman, what would be the best way to get key lime pie back on a chain restaurant menu?

Key lime piiiiie-eeeeiiii
Bring it back to me
I'm so hungry

lock thread

I'm so glad I bought a Trader Joe key lime pie last night so I can go from this thread directly to the fridge.

My daughter works in a bakery, and she is always bringing home slices of the most incredible key lime pie.

Also, I once had dinner with Tal Bachman, which I just remembered.

i forgot tal bachman is an ex-mo. which is nice, it means i'm not very attached to my identity as an ex-mo. people who are really into being ex-mo know about every celebrity ex-mo.

key lime pie is trash, sorry just trying to get folks riled up. if chocolate lava cakes were banned all of a sudden, that would be a tragedy.

Name pronunciation

Despite German-Canadian custom, Bachman says his surname is pronounced /ˈbækmən/ (with a short 'a' sound as in "back"), and he uses this pronunciation when referring to himself. The more common pronunciation of "bock-mən", especially on American radio, became so widespread however, that he did not bother correcting people after BTO became popular.[citation needed]

so does Tal also pronounce his last name /ˈbækmən/ (with a short 'a' sound as in "back")? that's what i really want to know.

Key lime pie may technically be made of trash, but there's something about that combo of butter, sugar, salt, cream and citrus that sets off a very specific craving, like my brain has receptors in it that are just for key lime pie and nothing else.

When I was in college and had papers to write, sometimes I'd go to the corner store late at night when nothing else was open and get a bottle of lime juice and a can of condensed milk, mix them together into a slightly chemical-tasting lime pudding, and eat it slowly over the course of the night as I struggled to stay awake. Weirdly this has not ruined key lime pie for me.

gross

anyway, can we talk about how Tal Bachman had enough time and energy to call Cactus Club Cafe's corporate HQ several times a day under different fake accents

That's what key lime pie is, though, condensed milk and lime juice. It just seems more respectable when you put it in a pie crust.

My wife pronounces some words with a serious Baltimore accent, so "Tal Bachman?" has been my dad-joke punchline whenever she asks me for a towel.

The most irritating thing about this story is that it's on Mark Steyn's website

so are you joining me on the Mark Steyn cruise or nah

I'm not voting, but he seems to be a weirdly obsessional person. I remember he went on a rant in an essay or interview about how all songs released by record companies should be evaluated by focus groups, and only released if they appealed to these listeners. He was quite vehement that the failure to do this was destroying the record industry.

A weirdly obsessional person on ilx, say it ain’t so

Tal Bachman was doompatrol

I was comparing this to his obsessional pursuit of key lime pie.

so are you joining me on the Mark Steyn cruise or nah

the concept of a Mark Steyn cruise is filling me with the strong desire to rip all the skin from my face

so... nah
