    Ice cream good.
    Puns bad.

    I wish I wasn’t still on a diet.

    Except as some cranky old man once yelled at me, “PEE-can? PEE-can? A PEE-can is where you relieve yourself out behind the barn! That’s a ‘p’kahn’, boy.” Come to think of it, that may have been Foghorn Leghorn.

    I always prefer my pecans non-partisan.

    Something Polish Johnson is right. The correct pronunciation is puh KAWN.

    Killer “Blazing Saddles” reference, Bobby. Think I’ll rent it.

    Hey, this is Mark from Common Cause.

    Ben & Jerry’s has decided to donate associated proceeds of the sales of Yes Pecan to Common Cause, a non-partisan non-profit dedicated to open, honest, and accountable government.

    In addition, Ben & Jerry’s will donate $1 for each person who signs up with Common Cause on Facebook (up to $10,000) during the month of January.

    We look forward to seeing you over at Facebook!

    Come to think of it, that may have been Foghorn Leghorn.

    A cartoon character yelled at you? Dude!

    That was a joke, son. Now pay attention, boy.

    As a Southerner born and bred, I can tell you guys definitively. It’s “p’kawn pie” when you’re ordering it at the Picadilly Cafeteria, and it’s “pee-can pie” when your Grandma serves it at Thanksgiving. Geez, everybody knows that.

    “pee-can pie” when your Grandma serves it at Thanksgiving

    Not at my house. When there’s pecan pie at my house, there’s no talking at all. Just eatin’.
