Recovery from Mormonism (RfM) discussion forum.
Mr Carrot and Mr Tomato decided to have a race. Rounding a turn, Mr Tomato rolled under Mr Carrot causing a violent crash. Although Mr Tomato was seriously bruised, Mr Carrot was broken completely in half. Both were rushed to the hospital. The doctor worked on Mr Carrot for hours while Mr Tomato waited outside. Finally the doctor came out of surgery. Mr Tomato asked the doctor about Mr Carrot. The doctor said with a solemn voice, “We were able to save your friend. However, I must warn you. He’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life.”
Oaks calls up Rusty and asks if he can come see him for some medical advice. When Oaks arrives at Rusty's office, Oaks has a carrot halfway up his nose and a zucchini sticking out his ear.
Rusty says, "Dallin your problem is obvious. You haven't been eating right".

Soylent Green is not really a vegetable.

I know that.
BTW, the taste of Soylent Green seems to vary from person to person.

That's what I get for swimming with the sharks!

I'm not a shark; just a movie nerd who makes a few good jokes (and a lot of crappy ones too).
As an aficionado of harsh jokes and bad humor, I doff my sun hat in appreciation.
I am reminded of a quite pleasant trope: "Our little boy is growing up!"
It brings tears to one's eyes, no?
WHY? The little boy turn into an onion?
No, no. He's a shark.
The rest of us are snacking on onions and carrot sticks and he's out for meat!

Tomatoes are actually / genetically fruits, but they're marketed as veges....
You already knew that, Right?

My favorite food hands down. Right now I am stuffing myself every day with ones I get from a little local grower till mine ripen. I hate winter because I can't get any that have any taste. I have been trying for years to figure how to grow them indoors. They are the perfect food, you can use them in so many ways. They are great for you and they are still finding new things in them. They have an interesting history, from poison to aphrodisiac love apples.
So yes. I AM A SLAVE TO TOMATOES!

My tomatoes are beyond pissed. By sheer dumb luck I planted Graham's Good Keepers. I liked the photo and thought, "Roma tomatoes! Great for salsa!" Well, the cilantro bolted. The basil bolted. I only have one Brussels (really, Spell Check? I have to capitalize that?), sprout plant that is doing its best to fight off insects. The wheat is doing well. :/
So, these Graham's Good Keepers - they say that you can harvest green tomatoes and they'll keep inside for months (months?). Months.
We'll find out, because I didn't construct The Rebar Tomato Trellis for nothing, dammit! It took MONTHS to find 10' rebar, and if I've already complained about the damned rebar, I apologize but not really because getting rebar should NOT be that hard. Was there a covid run on rebar? WTF?
This is THE Rebar Tomato Trellis (and if I've linked to this shit, too, I don't quite apologize - I'm redundant)

I'm leery of jumping into these arguments; from a "pure scientist" standpoint, your statement is correct, but the linguistic lines get blurred, and the nutritionist crowd (which has never impressed me; they definitely put the "con" in consensus) insists on applying their own "rules" while the culinary sorts (that's far more an art than a science) want to impose their views in a similarly arbitrary fashion.
This one is trying to sit on the fence:
https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-a-tomato-is-actually-both-a-fruit-and-vegetable
>>The explanation lies in the two different ways that "fruit" is defined. First, it is true that scientifically speaking, tomatoes are fruits.
>>According to Merriam-Webster, a fruit is "the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant."
>>In a blog post, the dictionary explained it in simpler terms: "Any thing that grows on a plant and is the means by which that plant gets its seeds out into the world is a fruit."
>>That definition includes apples, tomatoes, and anything else that grows from a plant and contains seeds. (Cucumbers, peppers, pumpkins, and avocados are all fruits too, according to science.)
The one-liner I liked was "never try to put tomatoes in a fruit salad...
I propose we squash this debate.

Being slaves to vegetables seems like a mormon thing as well.
Rusty - he's a fruit, top banana (as ripe as one too)
Eyring - artichoke
Oaks - bitter melon
Ballard - any limp vegetable
Uchtdorf - brussel sprouts
Bednar - pickle
Cook - cucumber (pre-pickle)
Holland - red cabbage/pumpkin hybrid
Christofferson - crookneck
Andersen - horseradish
Rasband - potato, white
Gong - parsley or edamame - haven't decided
The rest are probably all fiddleheads, fennel or parsnips
(Haven't figured out precise order yet.)

I think you're being too nice.

Well Pat. Takes one to know one.
Whew, I barely made it. Escaped!
The broccoli was watching me (while I was looking at the tomatoes), and when a carrot blew it's top, causing a distraction, I knew it was my time to 'bolt'.
I thought I'd never get away. I just kept running and running and running (Gil Scott Heron - Running).
I dislike slavery.
I even dislike savory.

I've had dates (some including sex) with rutabagas, brussels sprouts, turnips & cabbages, but none of those worked out, at least long-term ...

I am so old I know what that is lol!
Roy is very old. He was an AP back when there were only a dozen missionaries in England and JS was propositioning their wives back in Nauvoo.
>> "Roy is very old."
I prefer vintage, with a nice patina :)
>> "He was an AP back when there were only a dozen missionaries in England and JS was propositioning their wives back in Nauvoo."
So you're saying my kids may not really be mine? That could explain a few things.

No, no, no! Your wife is one of those women like Sarah Pratt, more courageous than any of the men left in the states during the mission period!

Yikes! looked her up....quite a woman in many ways :0
Yeah, Sarah is one of the heroes of early Mormonism. Just like our own William Law.
Joseph couldn't hold a candle to such people.

One big multistory lot is separated into two sides: Vegetables and Fruits. I believe the Avocado level is on the Vegetable side.
The parking lot monitor will take you to your car for money.

Don't worry. I saw Frank Zappa live in concert at the Terrace Ballroom in downtown Salt Lake City.
Instead of numbering parking aisles, let's name them after veges!
BRILLIANT!
for the other side of the mall, name them after animals!!
Put an END to forgotten parking places, that's my election platform / promise!!!! Vote for GNPE!
