News – Several stories about Mitt Romney made our Top Twenty, charting his rise (such as it was) and fall. There were also popular posts about the Super Bowl, the biggest garbage dump on the planet, and the many-splendored thing that is Black Sabbath.
The "Great Tomato Debate" is never ending on Propeller, James. As the lead proponent of the "I hate tomatoes" camp, I feel I need to inject it into as many forums as possible to raise awareness about this evil vegetable. LOL>>> Of course that's only until it's made into ketchup, spaghetti sauce or tomato juice. Then it's a fine vegetable. LOL>>>
Great work as always!
Surely you can't be referring to a nice, fresh, plump tomato, sliced thin and sprinkled with salt and pepper. That's ambrosial--truly food of the gods. Like the cucumbers in Tolstoy. But I guess I'll have to respect your point of view. Glad you enjoyed the WIR in any case.
I certainly am referring to a slimy, seedy, firm skinned vegetable (or is it a fruit?) that resists your bite until...GOOSH! Yech.
Now cucumbers on the other hand, really ARE the food of the gods!!
As a spokesman and a mainstay of the American Ketchup Council on behalf of the people of Lake Woebegone, I must say I am disparaged about your repulsion of the common tomato. After all, without a big beefsteak tomato on your plate, dinner is just not the same.
This message is brought to you by the American Ketchup Council and is not endorsed by Garrison Keillor.
Easily the worst piece of writing since the creation of the alphabet. What were you thinking?
(I thought you might like a refreshing break from the congratulatory/complimentary posts...lol)
Thanks JM for another excellent wir.
But this tomato thing...hmm!
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." I must agree with Shakespeare.
What a misfortune not to know the romance and the culinary ecstasy of sharing a great Italian appetizer, especially when it is vine ripe sliced tomatoes, homemade mozzarella, bathed in extra virgin olive oil with fresh garlic, oregano, and garnished with garden-picked basil. That -- with warm Italian bread is a feast made for gods. Ah!...jealousy is too common a foe.
My mother use to say, "Don't waste your life on jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end it's only you with yourself."
Peace!
Once again a great summary of this weeks topics.
But this time James, the pic. of Ronnie James Dio eclipsed you(sorry), and it always cracked me up the album cover with a bunch of angels sitting around smoking and playing cards.LOL
Fantastic WIR, James! Exceptional selection of comments this week!
;D
I have a question for Cherev, Thinker22, Engineer and Walden3: Why is it necessary to suppress disagreement with falsehoods? No one tries to suppress disagreement with The al Qaeda theory of 9/11 or the Osama videos. No one is brought before the inquisition for denying that Israel is starving Gaza.
No one is slandered and persecuted for denying that homosexuality is a sexual perversion. It is rare indeed for anyone to be denounced and silenced for being too reverent towards Martin Luther King or too hostile towards the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and Richard Nixon.
"No one is slandered and persecuted for denying that homosexuality is a sexual perversion."
According to whom?? How dare you say such a thing! As if we gays and lesbians stick our noses into your business. If I had a dollar for every yokel who thought he was superior for being straight, I would be filthy rich. We do not scorn your views, so why must you constantly make light of gays and lesbians? I for one say, shut your pie hole!
