Asparation
by Lee
Have any of you ever seen this stuff before? I saw some at the supermarket yesterday so I picked it up. I like asparagus but don’t like broccoli, so I figured I’d give it a try. Anyone ever tried it?

No, never tried it Lee. Sounds interesting.
The post does kind of put the fallacy to the notion of the club wielding libertarian-conservative.
Does the left have any idea how many of their issues I could take cause with, if only they would give up the coercion of the state in their pursuance?
But of course that wouldn’t occur to them, since we’re redneck morons.
Broccoli makes my poop super stinky.
err,its made by the mann packing co?insert own broke back mountain joke here....
I usually don’t let mine sit around long enough to be offended by the aroma, but different strokes and all that…
There’s this little handle (usually colored silver or chrome) on the side of the tank that will suck all that nasty smell down a hole, and refill the bowl with clean water.
(Here in the U.S., anyway. Overseas, you might be lucky to find a hole in the floor over which to squat.)

Okay, that was fucking funny. :)
I tried it once. I was good as I recall. I love asparagus and broccoli so a cross is a natural fit.
I hated asparagus when I was a kid. Now, I can’t get enough. I’ll eat a whole bunch in one setting. Add a little mayo and BAM! I’ll be stinking up the loo fer days.
Drum, I was trying to be polite. My poop is smelly even before evacuation; the aroma may escape depending on how airtight my seal is.
How funny, my sister mentioned this randomly to me today. She called it “soft stem” as opposed to “tender stem” us Europeans are meant to call it. Being someone who avoids most green foods, I wouldn’t have had a clue :)
Broccoli and celery? How about calling it Celbroc? Oh, wait-that’s where a Chinese prisoner is taken.
Could be onto something. Another company in Salinas is D’Arrigo that has a brand called Andy Boy that uses pink lettering.mann packing co?
Asparagus should only be eaten al dente. Butter or a garlic/vinegar sauce.
It’s a fucking broccoli species, not fucking asparagus. It’s been around for years, but as is the want of epicurean retards in the flavorless fly-over belts of mid-America and east-Europe, it’s got a new snazzy label.
I pity the fool that doesn’t think California farmers are a blessing of Intelligent Design and the best Capitalists since Tokyo invented the Matsushita CH631.
but as is the want of epicurean retards
{ahem} I think the word you meant is ”wont”, or “accustomed usage”, as opposed to “want”, which means “desire greatly”, since the tone of the article doesn’t match that meaning.
Using the word “wont” in that fashion usually shows a sign of mild pretention (as does the use of “epicurean"), but the attempt is ruined by the solecism.
What was that you were saying about “retards”?
mild pretention
Hey English,
Here’s an ’O‘, I’ll take the ’A‘ back. Keep the change and buy yourself a stick of margarine.

Ha ha!

PS
I think you meant ’PRETENSION‘. No?

Vegetable growers are damn fine businessmen. Veggies bring in several billion to the county each yeare and they get exactly $0 in subsidies.
Yang complained that modern hybrids of broccoli don’t have much flavor, ..
Ain’t that ever the truth. That’s why my broccoli intake only occurs with the broccoli beef entree at the local Chinese outfit.
