The moose ate my beets

they ate the beets or the beet greens?

dig it?

Fortunately, there is a team which can help you with your problems.

Beets make me vomit uncontrollably.

Even smelling them makes me gag/vomit.

So...well, I really have no point.

Carry on.

Thank you.

I do so love posts which contain the words "vomit" and "uncontrollably."

Moose huh...

Once had a dog eat my homework
well actually it was a laborously typed English college paper
it wasn't may dog, didn't allow dogs in the dorms
was the professors' dog
she made me rewrite it anyway

moose ate your beets....

"moose ate beets" is probably a metaphor for life, somehow. I just can't figure it out.

The deer ate my beets. And spinach, broccali, carrots, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, and even the cayennes. They trampled the habeneros into the ground along with prancing through the potatoe beds while it wad a mud puddle, ruining any chance of potatoes. They trampled my herbs and the watermelons and the squash and the pumpkins. I think they've killed the apple tree.

So as Pee Dee said, the moose is a metaphor for life, and the beets are a metaphor for the publishing industry. The deer represent all of the hopes and dreams of the Tibetian synchronized swimming team, and the other vegetables are a metaphor for the internecine troubles plaguing Antartica at this very minute.

The question should be 'have you ever stained a blue teeshirt with the run off from a strawberry debacle?'

That, in itself could become a haiki for the mentally challenged.

I have said this before I will say it again
The scariest thing about AW to me is:
I actually understand Jaycinth....
And man that is a scary thought....
(Maybe she will marry me?)

Exactly why I plant roses around my veg beds. Really pointy roses.

Clearly it's a sign that vegetables are a sin.

Understanding Jaycinth is a sign that you've unlocked your mind, and your consciousness floats above the world as an entity of great power, just like hers. When you're in the "Understand Jaycinth" frame of mind, you can also "Understand Einstein" and "Understand St. John" and "Understand God" and so on and so forth.

But I don't understand you. It might help things a bit if you weren't standing on that grilled cheese sandwich. ( No, the OTHER grilled cheese sandwich.)

There's a "beet your moose" joke in here somewhere, but I just can't find it.

Awwww, TeddyG - you don't deserve that kind of pain, pleasure, pain....

I think that if vegetables are a "sin in your world" then there's a whole lot of sinning that you are missing......

Next year plant a few mutated Venus Fly Traps and they can eat the moose.

Plant some 5 alarm hot chillies, guaranteed to keep him away.

If one is going to eat beets, I have but one word: don't. Instead, take the dirt you were planning to grow them in, grab a kitchen spoon, and dig in. The minerals and nutrients you absorb will be greater, and the taste will be the same. Trust me on this.

In other words, beets=the devil's work.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about "Jitterbug Perfume" and I was wondering why it's wasn't in the Book Club thread.

I don't understand that book anymore than I understand this thread.

See...you just dont understand Jaycinth. It takes a special head to understand her reactions and musings. Once you get her head...it will become oh so clear to you!

I've been in her head. But something growled at me and I got frightened. *shudders* It's dark in there.

I make borscht with beets.
Comrade Gravity must return to re-education camp!
No room for 'Devil' in Realpolitik!

(So, how you like borscht? With beets? You need more beets!)
