Can we please stop the liberal use of malapropism here with the food/pie references when writing about the Raspberry. It's getting a bit overbaked and is starting to leave a sour taste in the mouth. Anyone wanna bite?

Pi r^2?

No, pie are round. Cake are squared.

I'm sure HoTMetaL has been simmering for some time, basting in the flavors of the issue, looking for it to turn over. But no, it's beginning to burn him.

This would seem to be a good time to remember, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Come on, guys. I agree with HoTMetaL.

This whole pie bit is getting stale, no matter how you slice it.

Wow, @tc.

Why so crusty? Somebody with your considerable communication skills doesn't need to be mean just to make mince meat out of these guys.

This is starting to look more and more like sour grapes.

Most of you here know that I can cook up puns as well as the next person, but for some reason I really don't have an appetite for that with this thread.

Probably the same folks who think rhubarb and lime and lemon make good pies. (I don't like any of them.) Lemons and limes are sour and people love those pies.

Want to bet somebody comes up with a competitor to the Raspberry Pi and names it after another food? I'd bet the Pumpkin Pi or some such thing is just around the corner.

I'd rather eat sour grape pie than crow.

Please leave the punning to the groan-ups.

Thank you.

All this math punning is a sine of madness.

This is more than I can bear. Perhaps it's time to circle the wagons.

Have a slice of chocolate cream pie and you'll forget the pain.
