My life's mission is to be reflexively inflammatory and stupidly partisan. And to end big words with y's. Clearly I've Failed.
How about this? I loathe Broad Beans! I think people who grow Broad Beans should be put in jail and I think Australia is the best at everything there is to be good at (sunburn, red dirt & shark attacks) and really bad at bad things (lacrosse, spelling bees and Waterdance). That ought to stir 'em up.
PS: Please update me.
I knew there was a reason behind all those rabid, rightwing, fascist, curmudgeonly, demonic, reflexively inflamatory posts.
Someone who does not appreciate the mother of all mannas from heaven is beyond redemption! I have 8 broad bean plants reaching skywards, promising mouth watering butter drenched pleasure in the months to come.
As your spiritual mentor might have doggerelled ... "I did but see them growing nigh, but I will love them till I die."
If the price I have to pay for this is 10 life sentences so be it. Indeed I would happily swing for them. It would have all been worth it.
On the other hand there is cabbage ... the vegetable that dares not speak its name.

Scarlet runners grow well in Tassie. You might get away with them in Victoria, which was after all one of Tassie's more successful colonies.

And Pumpkin too. Not only people who grow it should be jailed, but any person caught eating the shit should be locked in an insane asylum. No one should have to suffer the sheer horror of having a hunk of boiled/mashed/baked pumpkin on their plate. The yanks don't eat it as a vegie, they use it as a fruit (which is simply disfriggengusting). However in their defence they do spice/sugar it beyond all recognition and bake it in a pie. Although I am not game enough to partake in such moral turpitude myself, the psychological damage the thought of it has done to my little mind is irrepairable.

That could be it Sedge. I didn't get enough BB's as a callow kiddy. I'll blame my mum. I'd blame her anyway. She was a rabid righty. But an artist!! Go figure.
And I LOVE cabbage! There's no hope for us!

Drug runners grow well in Victoria, Norman. Especially with the help of the Korean government and the local plod.
I LOVE pumpkin too Patrick! Especially baked with burnt edges. And peas. Corn. Spuds. Lamb. Gravy. Pepper. Mint sauce. I'm hungry. Grace! Fix me some eggs!
