Meade म्हणाले...: Come on, al Qaeda, try to catch up will ya? Rome outlawed Love Apples years ago.

Sheesh. It's like you're living in the 8th century or something.; २९/६/०७, १०:१५ AM
KCFleming म्हणाले...: Is Ann prescient, or what?

Crazy? Like a fox!; २९/६/०७, १०:२३ AM
The Drill SGT म्हणाले...: Meade?

I thought "Love apples" were tomatoes and that they came from the America's post Columbus.

Rome as in Roman Republic or today's Rome?

Either way, I must be missing something. :); २९/६/०७, ११:०३ AM
PeterP म्हणाले...: Sex on a plate

...best I can do to illustrate the point that surely both are male vegetables. OK so this one has more than the regulation numbers of balls, but you get my point.; २९/६/०७, ११:०३ AM
Laura Reynolds म्हणाले...: OTTER:Mine's bigger than that.

-I beg your pardon?

OTTER:My cucumber, it's bigger.
Vegetables can be really sensuous, don't you think?

-No.Vegetables are sensual.
People are sensuous.

OTTER Right. "Sensual." That's what I meant.; २९/६/०७, ११:१९ AM
Der Hahn म्हणाले...: What, no comment from the vegetable pron stalker?; २९/६/०७, ११:३६ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Hold it. Haven't we already discussed vegetables? Remember our commentary on Frank Zappa's "Call Any Vegetable"?

No one will know
If you don't want to let 'em know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em so
Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream
Of responding to you
Standing there
Shiny & proud by your side
Holding your hand
While the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable
Something to hide?
YAR-R-R-R-R-G-H!

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: A vegetable is something to hide when al Qaeda's is in town.; २९/६/०७, १२:१७ PM
Bissage म्हणाले...: Sure, but just be careful where you hide your vegetable.; २९/६/०७, १२:४४ PM
Mr.Murder म्हणाले...: 'Onion ring Officianados for Truth'(new PAC or 501c) would have something to say about the vegetable alphabet of imagery we use in this discussion.

Perhaps color code 'Orange' should always be in effect?; २९/६/०७, १:०७ PM
George M. Spencer म्हणाले...: Another article, perhaps the one linked to, also mentioned that Iraqis fear that al-Qaeda agents will snip off their fingers, if they are suspected of smoking cigarettes.

Shades of Struwwelpeter.

Sometimes the only way we can deal with horror is to laugh at it and pretend it's not real. And that's been part of the problem the Administration's faced in fighting the war. It's nearly impossible to believe how evil and inhuman our enemies are.; २९/६/०७, १:५९ PM
blake म्हणाले...: Hey! I quoted that last week during the onion ring kerfuffle!

Althouse may be headed for a jihad.; २९/६/०७, २:५१ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: Blake, sorry I missed that!; २९/६/०७, ३:४१ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: "Sometimes the only way we can deal with horror is to laugh at it and pretend it's not real."

I think laughing at them is part of fighting them. It's not denial. It's a weapon.; २९/६/०७, ५:४० PM
Methadras म्हणाले...: From Amba's blog...

"A tomato and a cucumber?! Why, it's as obvious as a carrot and an onion ring. Worse yet, the tomato could be thought to be in a state of uncleanness and therefore really threatening to pollute that nice crisp cucumber. Analyze that the next time you toss a salad. "

Did anyone catch the irony and sexual innuendo of this statement? It made me chuckle...; २९/६/०७, ७:५० PM
Kev म्हणाले...: "..best I can do to illustrate the point that surely both are male vegetables"

Or, as I pointed out at Amba's blog, there's always Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber from VeggieTales. Now AQ has one more reason to hate that show (besides the overt Christianity, of course).; २९/६/०७, ८:२५ PM
Mr.Murder म्हणाले...: Colin and his former neighbor Condi both said they would go after the low hanging fruit in Iraq, or were supposedly not doing that...; २९/६/०७, ९:१३ PM
blake म्हणाले...: Ann,

If you're ignoring as many messages as I am to try to keep the signal-to-noise ratio up, I can hardly blame you.; ३०/६/०७, २:४१ PM
