Funny Pie Story...
Is there really any other kind of pie story?
Anyway, my husband and I were in Los Angeles last summer, and we had the great good fortune to meet Forrest Ackerman (the man who coined the phrase "sci-fi" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_J_Ackerman). He's a pretty old guy these days, but he has a whole museum of stuff at his house and he gives tours like once a week, so we HAD to go!
We chatted until nearly noon, and then he offered to have lunch with us at his favorite restaurant House Of Pie. While we ate he told us epic tales from his lie.
One of them was about how he and Orson Welles would eat there once a week for lunch. Then he told us while he would be muching on a variety of soups and sandwiches (they have it all at House Of Pie) that Orson always had the same thing.
We both looked at him with our eyes wide... "What was it??"
Every week Orson ordered an entire Coconut Cream Pie, and ate the whole thing!
