Asparagus Syndrome

1. s'funny

I never knew about the whole asparagus-piss-smell thing until I was well into my 20's. Probably because we never ate asparagus as children - that was a "fancy" vegetable.

But goddam, it's so noticeable now. Whenever the employee cafeteria served asparagus, the mens' room was unbearable.

5. The only food that makes your piss smell like shit.

I just used two of George Carlin's seven words!!!

2. It's great

with cheese sauce or saute'd.

[SmileyBoy]

3. I might have that too.

I show all the symptoms.:)

4. Depends...are we talking organic???

[Zomby Woof]

7. I suppose if some people enjoy it THAT much

Oh, you said "organic". My mind was elsewhere.

It's going to taste like shit no matter how it's farmed.

[Fleshdancer]

8. ROFL!

asparagus doesn't taste like shit! If it does to you then you must not be cooking it right. We're still talking about "organic", yes?

[Zomby Woof]

9. I don't cook it at all

So that's moot.

I will eat organic French-cut green beans though - they're yummy.

[Fleshdancer]

10. then you're not eating it right

steam it for about 10 minutes. Who eats asparagus raw? yuck!

[Zomby Woof]

11. IT JUST FUCKING SUCKS

Some people just. don't. like. it.

[Fleshdancer]

12. well okay. just keep eating it raw and disliking it. I really don't care

just trying to suggest a way to make asparagus taste better. not that fucking big of a deal

[Zomby Woof]

13. Did I ever say I ate it raw?

If that is your theory on why I don't like it... :eyes:

On edit: When I said I don't cook it at all, that means I NEVER PREPARE IT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, or FORM.

[Fleshdancer]

15. well you said you "don't cook it at all"

that was my first clue to the concept of eating it raw.

So...are we really arguing over asparagus? :wtf: I don't mind arguing I just want to know the subject is worthy enough and right now it's not looking very promising from my point of view.

16. see my edit in the preceding post

The purpose of the thread was a JOKE, and having my tastes questioned in a JOKE thread is a mite irritating. I think after 36 years, I have all the angles and possibilities on a fucking vegetable figured out.

[Fleshdancer]

18. wow

I'm aware of the purpose of a zombywoof thread in DU.

My original post in this thread was a joke as well, then you made your joke, I said I was "ROFL" and I furthered the humor (in my own mind which obviously didn't transfer) and then it became something stupid and twisted about me supposedly "questioning your tastes". I don't care what your tastes are. I don't know you. We'll never meet. I don't care about asparagus. It was ALL a joke, not just your original post. Why are you so upset over this?

I also don't care how old you are or all the "angles and possibilities on a fucking vegetable" you have "figured out". Why would I? It's still the lounge, right? Truce much?

[Zomby Woof]

19. I'm not upset

I just enjoy free-form hostility. ;-) Truce.

[Fleshdancer]

20. well that I can live with!

you realize I must now taunt you with asparagus comments in every thread, right???

:toast:

[Zomby Woof]

22. you have earned the right

We always need new material to keep things organic. ;-)

[cprise]

6. Canned, boiled asparagus-okra surprise!

Mmmmmmmmmm!

[PartyPooper]

14. Does serving asparagus with hollandaise sauce minimize the "after affects"

Just wondering.

:eyes:

[Zomby Woof]

17. I'll never know

But that would be "effects".

[PartyPooper]

23. ZombyWoof, your (sic) right! I spelled it wrong. Sorry!

I'm sooooo embarrassed.

:dunce:

21. Ah, WE See through your clever plan...

to humble and disparage us!
You thought we couldn't find a scan
For rhyming the word 'asparagus'!

Schwannzeichen

And just in case you try again,
On machine ancestors of Babbage
We'll pre-empt your bold attempt
To force us to rhyme 'cabbage'!

[Zomby Woof]

24. Welcome to DU!

And poetry yet! :-)

[FlaGranny]

25. Asparagus slimy?

Asparagus isn't slimy. That is, unless you cook it into a puddle. I like my asparagus al dente. In fact, I love asparagus, so I couldn't make a choice in your poll. ;-)
