What, exactly, do "Green Beans" have to do with anything?

[Dangerously Amused]

:shrug:

[u4ic]

1. If you're making

Green Bean casserole...everything. :P

[Dangerously Amused]

4. A brilliant point, my queen.

I shall make a note of it and casserole properly forthwith.


How you bean GF?

5. Did you just verb 'casserole'?

:spank:

[Dangerously Amused]

10. Why yes, yes I did. Did YOU just verb "verb"?

HAH!



:spank: :spank:








Hey, did you ever get that thing back that you sent me? Whatever it was, I still want it, you know.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Why, yes — yes, I did

I dunno what that form of humor is called, but I call it Doing-what-you-did-to-subtly-point-out-the-silliness-in-what-you-did humor.





As for the other thing — nope. Never showed up. x(

[Dangerously Amused]

16. Satire.

:cry:







Can you make another one? I think you should.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Does satire include doing-what-you-did?

Or merely doing a distorted imitation of what you did, i.e. a caricature?

:shrug:




I can, yeah — but it'll just be a distorted imitation, i.e. a caricature.

[Dangerously Amused]

23. Well...

Satire: a term applied to any work of literature or art whose objective is ridicule. It is more easily recognized than defined. From ancient times satirists have shared a common aim: to expose foolishness in all its guises—vanity, hypocrisy, pedantry, idolatry, bigotry, sentimentality—and to effect reform through such exposure. The many diverse forms their statements have taken reflect the origin of the word satire, which is derived from the Latin satura, meaning “dish of mixed fruits,” hence a medley.

31. Who wrote that? Was it a COMEDIAN?

HUH?!? WELL, WAS IT?!?

[SPKrazy]

2. They Are Good!

[Dangerously Amused]

6. Indeed they are. Especially so when fresh.

Lightly sauteed in EVOO with a bit of garlic.... Mmmmmmmm.....


Do you like to cook?

[SPKrazy]

8. At Times

not bad

:yourock:

[Rosemary2205]

3. smoked

we put um in the smoker with a turkey once. OMG that was good eats.

[Dangerously Amused]

9. Oooohh.

For a second there I thought you were telling me that you smoked them. :)


I'll bet they are good smoked. Or grilled for that matter. Provided one places them at a right angle to the grill slats so they don't fall through.

[SPKrazy]

24. That Sounds Tasty!

smoked beans

:yourock:

[Dangerously Amused]

25. Dewd... let's go smoke some beans, man.

:smoke:

[SPKrazy]

26. Okay Dewd!

I got a lighter

how do you roll these things up anyway?

:smoke:

should we make one big cigar???

:rofl:

[Robeson]

7. It's an acquired taste.

[Dangerously Amused]

12. Right. Like beer.

:hi:

[Ptah]

11. Cool Beans and their Red Rose

[SPKrazy]

13. Wow!

That is a great pic!

[Dangerously Amused]

14. Or, "Bean Orgy at Rose Monument."

[SPKrazy]

17. ROFL!

hilarious!


:rofl: :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

18. What?

Heh heh.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

19. It Just Cracked Me Up!

bean orgy


:rofl: :pals:

[Ptah]

20. Bean orgy in the vegetable bins.

Happy holidays, D A

[Dangerously Amused]

22. Happy Holidays Ptah!

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

27. They Are Trying To Escape I Think!

from the looks of it anyway

they are getting away!

stop them!

:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

28. Trying to escape? You think?

I dunno. Two of the beans toward the right look rather spent. But the others look pretty happy to be there...



:yoiks:

[SPKrazy]

29. Maybe It Is A Bean Orgy After All

can't really tell which end is which?

I guess beans know which is all that matters, right?

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

30. I'm guessing they use the same subtle physiological gender cues that worms do.

Like if two beans go to the restroom together, they're probably girl beans. But the beans who get lost because they won't ask for directions are the boys.


Mind you it's just a hypothesis at this point.


But a damn fine one, I think.

[SPKrazy]

32. Hmmm, Restrooms girls, lost boys?

sounds plausible

:rofl:
