asparagus kathryn I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asparagus. -larson 981013 ... Paul Don't dispair for us. We have asparagus. 990224 ... Gigo Loma whoever shall know the asparagus... shall know the world, for it is not the asparagus which hates the broccoli, only the horrid culture which brought the asparagus to its current state. so fear not for the broccoli, do not even fear for the asparagus... fear instead for the asparagus that shall grow without ever knowing why they must hate broccoli. perhaps ask yourself why you ask why the asparagus cares... indeed, ask yourself why you must know why the asparagus does anything... and always remember it is not the asparagus's fault that they must hate that which they do not understand. the broccoli cannot understand why any asparagus would hate it... yet it feels compelled to return the aggression. so in the end the broccoli hates that which hated the broccoli.. and not because the broccoli has a reason, no - the broccoli hates because it was hated, it knows no better. so the institution which caused the asparagus to hate the broccoli for no *valid* reason other then a fear that perhaps what the asparagus had come to know as 'asparagus' may be partially replaced by something definitely 'broccoli' has caused a reciprocal feeling in the brocolli. this reciprocal feeling has closed all doors for any future attempts at reconciliation. and so a culture which drove its asparagus to hate has caused itself to be equally hated, and in this hate lies the downfall of all that is asparagus (however painfull their legacy may be). 991106 ... old hick -the ultimate revenge in an intimate relationship. 000124 ... lola funny or yummy? 000521 ... moonshine spare us 000522 ... larla spareusasparagus sugarapsasueraps 000523 ... amorfus No, I really don't like the taste of asparagus. Cooked spinach either, for that matter. Or artichoke. I really like brussel_sprouts, though, and olives aren't as bad as they used to be. 000527 ... grasshopper It makes semen taste very bitter, even more than caffeine. I guess most people don't know that. I prefer green beans. 000527 ... Mahayana alters the scent of your urine extremely so it makes it smell like asparapiss [its hard not 2 notice it] 020115 ... lemonade i've been thinking. about going to his apartment to rescue the asparagus from the fridge. it only has a day, maybe two left...and i do have a key. while i'm there i could take a nap in his bed. although, i may be using the asparagus as an excuse to go over there, just so i can smell his smell in his apartment. yeah, i'm not much of a napper either. 020325 ...
