Greetings

[Rambling Syd Rumpo]

Hello, everybody. Just logging in. I'm a full blooded, raving, militant atheist (though why we should need a special label is another matter). I loathe irrationality, superstition and religion :vomit:, also beetroot and cucumber.
I'm pretty ancient and may have to adjust my false teeth from time to time while posting.

[Rambling Syd Rumpo]

Oh, shit, that should have been 'greeTings'.

[Smellyoldgit]

I luv beetroot.
A welcome to yet another raving Brit. :)

[Rambling Syd Rumpo]

Thank you, oh gracious one - but beetroot? Puke!

[psychodiva]

I'm with you on the beetroot and cucumber- and also on the religion thing :vomit: welcome!!:)

A welcome to yet another raving Brit.

Your swelling numbers are suspect. I think there might be a connection to this and the cloning thing.

Welcome Syd!

[psychodiva]

I hope they are not cloning Smelly :)

[Wakkun]

Youkoso, Syd. I thoroughly dislike beetroot, or indeed any vegetable sweeter than a carrot.

[sparhawk13]

I'm guessing that beetroot is what us barbarians in America call beets. If so, I'm going to have to agree. No one likes beets. Cucumbers are a different story. You're just mad 'cuz you can't chew them. :) Welcome to RA.

I had a beet salad the other night. the next morning my crapper looked like the elevator in The Shining gushing blood. welcome syd

I tend to self clone particularly badly after a decent vindaloo.

That's coz you Americans just O.V.E.R. F.U.C.K.I.N.G. D.O. I.T. with the portions.
Tis a delicacy.

[Professor Chaos]

Beets are a fucking delicacy to you people?

:vomit:

The only time I overdo it with my beet portions is when I consume any quantity of beet.

God invented beets only because he eventually wanted pickled eggs.

Yeah, I know. It's what we're good at. Everyone needs a talent, right? :thumbsup:

The beets at the local Amish market are more on the tart side than sweet. They are a great side dish and I always order them without those disgusting pickled eggs that are in the container with them!

::oh no, not another brit!::

welcome to our humble forum, syd!

Mmmm, pickled eggs :D

I think I may never get to sample those Amish beets, however.

I utterly refute any such suggestion. Panth is on his own with that one. Now as for (non-pink) pickled eggs...

[RenaissanceMan]

I used beets to make a veggie drink in my veggie juicer once (I have the kind so powerful it can squeeze juice from wheat grass)


It looked like the blood of a thousand children. Straight out of a horror movie.

My kitchen looked like a scene from a Clive Barker film when I was cleaning up the juicer.

Oh... and the beets were raw, not pickled.

Oh... and the juice was horrible. I tried watering it down with apple juice... but that didn't work.

apple juice- yeah THAT would help rofl

and those things in the jar - they look like cricket balls :\

I get free veggies in exchange for my toil on a farm, and beets are often in my bag. I make beet chips: slice thin and spray with olive oil. Slow bake until they're crisp. Sprinkle with sea salt. Yummy!


Otherwise, they are disgusting.

[psychodiva]

now- I just realised- that is the only way I eat Beets- they are in bags of mixed veg crisps (chips to you lot) that I get :) prefer the parsnips and sweet potatoes tho :)

Well, we fairly "beet" that subject to death so what's next on the menu? Tripe anyone? or perhaps souse?

Egad, Sir! I'll have you know that these are British teeth! Goddamit, Sir, back in '23 in Umbopoland these very teeth tore the nuts off a rogue elephant .... snort.... zzzzz .... zizzz ... snore ....

[Riddler]

Egad, Sir! I'll have you know that these are British teeth!
By Jove, Missus!

Many of the comments on that page are surreal. I was beginning to wonder if it was all a wind-up.

The most fun I've had at a Agro-tourist hotspot! Planting beet seeds and wrestling Mose were highlights. Owner/operator Dwight read us German fairy tales and even told us which bear was best. Would stay here again. Only problem was some odd moaning in the middle of the night
Other than finding 13 bad welds in the irrigation room I found our experience to be quite pleasing. Since my spouse has cured her irritable bowel syndrome, the facilities were not an issue, However, the Sears catalog does provide excellent sales on Martin Luther King Day, as my alone time will attest.
Mr. Dwight Schrute accomadated every one of our needs, though he was hesitant to read us a bed time story. Through much deliberation, he read us Harry Potter.
Mr. Schrute was very welcoming, informative, and asked the right questions to be able to recommend the "Night-time" room.
This quaint B&B is an excellent place to practice your wrestling skills, to hone your table making skills, and to get acquainted with the wild life of northeastern Pennsylvania. It was as if Dwight planted his seed in us.
