I'm not surprised at the reaction to the rhubarb incident since we established long ago that the denizens here are pie and baseball hating hooligans.

But y'all like veg's and someone(s) gave the onion enough love so good on y'all.

ALSO: Corn right off the stalk and hand stripped in the field is OK, too.

How did we not wind up with a thread where you give a little more detail to the relevation that you paid professional baseball? I mean, the stuff we've learned about you in the past year! I'm looking forward to your autobiography.

Not Having a Car = Does Not Compute.

Growing up, my access to car transport was erratic at best, and then I've always lived somewhere with decent bus service. Also when I was 8 my uncle died in a motorcycle accident, at 10 my mom nearly died from being hit by a car. Not much love for them.

Hobo Frenzy: I think we've decided on the Corolla if this happens, with all the optional safety features.

E10 Gas is the law in Hawaii now, but the Ethanol producers on the island can't meet the demand yet.

Could an engine run on 100% Ethanol? And could we keep drunks from siphoning our gas if one could?

[swinehund]

Iogen is a pilot project to make fuel ethanol from straw and other waste cellulose, leaving the vegetables for us to eat. They break down the cellulose enzymatically into sugar, which is where the majority of sugar is in the plant. It would also allow the option to pick crops just for cellulose production rather than having to use food crops, so possibly requiring less fertilizer in the long run. Not that they'd go that route for quite a while.

BIO-DIESEL!

[AlohaDawg]

There's a biodiesel co-op here in Hawaii. You can actually have drums of fuel delivered to your house, since it can't explode or burn at normal temperatures. The cost is pretty low per gallon and the mileage is good. Some places may also give you a tax break for using an eco-friendly fossil-fuel alternative. Also, oddly enough, here in Hawaii Biodiesel is actually cheaper than petrodiesel. And gas.

I almost went that route last year. Driving around leaving water vapor and the pleasant smell of french fries in my wake seems appealing.

So, instead, I drive an SUV that gets 17 mpg. The road to hell and all that.

[Hobo Frenzy]

Holy shit, just another reason to love Hawaii and be envious of Hawaiians! That is so cool that you can get Bio-Diesel AD.

I want a diesel for good gas mileage reasons and the great low end torque. And if Bio-D was readily available I would run it in a heart beat! That's it!! I need to move to Hawaii! I don't care if the native people hate me, I don't care if I have to live in poverty because I can't make expensive house payments, I don't care about 40+ days of rain. I want to be surrounded by beaches that I can easily drive to with my Volkswagen TDi that runs on Bio Diesel. Also surfing looks hell of fun. You with me Wombat? You ready to take a boat to Hawaii?

Vegetables will power me and my car someday!!

Tomatos are so awesome they are both a fruit and a vegetable.

Deal with it bitches.  Eat Tomatos More Frequently.

tomatos are the bomb diggity.

paul, what does ETMF mean other than eating tomatos more frequently?

[Drygioni]

Vegetable is also used as a literary term for any plant: vegetable matter, vegetable kingdom. It comes from Latin vegetabilis (animated) and from vegetare (enliven) in reference to the process of a plant growing.

That's quite interesting, considering the modern uses of the words 'vegetate' and when referring to humans as 'vegetables'. Use of language always changes, people. It must be accepted.

I'm glad you asked.  I wrote about that here a long time ago.  I was just thinking about that post yesterday because I lost 100 cans for making a joke at G.O.D.'s expense.  I remember when I posted my ETMF story G.O.D. Made a similar albiet meaner joke at my expense.  But I don't obsess over the TCODP, they're meaningless to me.

Okay, so Paul, you've been waiting for the opportune time to use that line for the past two years?

I'm dumbstruck by your unwavering perspicacity.  You have your cans back, plus a few to grow on.

Actually no, I just noticed that post of yours while researching my reply to Ark and thus decided to craft my response like I did, but I can totally see why victims groups play the martyr card, it totally works.  I had to google up perspicacity, I don't believe i've ever encountered that word before.

Education!

And hey, how about those vegetables!

[linnea]

My favorite vegetable is artichokes (it's been said before, but they are fuck*ng rad), with asparagus and snap peas running very close 2nd and 3rd. I try to eat vegetables, but their desirability somehow pales when compared to sugar and other simple carbohydrates.

[Hobot]

Linnea feels the artichoke love!


Hang on, that didn't sound right.
