Ho-made Pies is catching on!

[tanya]

This is for Shane (even though he is gone to play in some big hole right now)

Shane and others have made fun of our historic sign at the Thunderbird Restaurant, but Honda has chose it to make a commercial with. Even worse my brother has made shirts of a scantly dressed ho with cherry pies!

I was only a week or so away from my plan to replace that dang sign!!!!



Now I think I am stuck with it.

Ya don't mess with a "classic"!!! I love the old sign.

[greyhair biker]

THAT is a COOL sign!
...you are stuck with it!

[sparker1]

You want to get rid of it, just send a picture to Sharpton and Jackson. But, I hope you don't.

That signs a classic, Tanya, you can't replace it. Congrats on the commercial and on your brothers entering the clothing business.

Groan ~~~~ pout~~~~ That is what my brother kept saying. I guess he wins on this one. He even put the bird on the menus!

In this small town of mormons!!!!!!

Well I wanted to avoid publicity ... not gain it!

I have no choice! My brother runs the restaurant... so that is up to him. He runs the golf and restaurant and I run the rest. The commercial should be cool. They are shooting it at the first on June I think. I still don't know what is going through their heads!

I should change my location on my Uutah.com profile to "Home of the Ho-made Pies"

[JP]

Are there any Ho-Made Nappy pies

[Gutpiler_Utahn]

So... just how many ho's DOES it take to make a pie?

[greyhair biker]

a HO- bunch....(ewww)

[tanya]

Not much in Southern Utah and less in this valley

Daddy likes those kinda pies.

So, Tanya, Jack Morrison was your grandfather? And his wife Fern did the pie baking? I suspect that your granddaddy was a good speller. And that he knew a thing or two about artistic expression. Note the symmetry of that sign. And look at the electricity you saved not having had to illuminate an extra two letters for all these years.

When exactly was that sign first installed?

I tried to track down the earliest use of 'ho' as slang for whore. One source points to a KRS-One album "Edutainment" from 1990.

I'd venture that the Thunderbird sign predates that rapper's lyrics by many years.

Agent Cooper fictionally got lyrical in describing the pies he sampled while tracking down the Twin Peaks killer in Washington state.

When I think of good pies I harken back to when the Village Restaurant was still in business right where you turn into the road that led to Ruby's and Bryce. Now that place had good pies. Someday, I'll have to try the ones at the Thunderbird. Who makes them now? Are they as good as Grandma Fern's?

My Grandpa died in 1961 ----- so either it was put in before that or it was my Grandma that did it? She lived until 1992. I have always blammed it on my Grandpa though. Now you have me thinking of it, I think it was done in the 60's but not quite early enough that he could have been the one to do it. When did those types of neon signs come into use?

My mom made them for years... but we bought her out and she is going to enjoy life. This last year there have been two other ladies baking. I only had one slice and it was when they first started. I do hope they got better at it.
