Announcement from Clay, Turnip

[clay]

Well, a turnip is a little old-fashioned, usually a little dirty, and always a little bitter.

Just work on a perfect blend of these attributes, and you will come close to turnipicious nirvana. Oh, and do everything photographically exactly like I do. Or might do.

 

[Alex Hawley]

Anyone interested in organizing a turnip colony near Sante Fe?

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Dinner turned out well, but I have to admit that Melchi, who just turned one year old a couple of weeks ago, didn't care for the turnips. There's always a critic.

 

[BWGirl]

Well... I am so glad I checked this thread out. That's what I love about APUG... you just never know what will... 'turn-up.'

 

[Photo Engineer]

David, babies rarely like turnips. You will learn. They do love beets for some reason.

He likes some unusual things, so I thought it was worth a try, but they are a little bitter, and that's not a flavor he cares for. He did like the corned beef quite a lot, but then he helped me make it. Every morning we'd open the refrigerator and I'd say, "okay time to turn the beef," and I'd turn it and say, "there, we turned the beef!"

Clay, you rock !!! This is perfect. I have no idea what I am, still trying to figure it out. Probably a tossed salad since I end up with all sorts of things mixed together and occasionally I get the dressing right and it tastes good.

Happy Holidays !!!!

Well, these folks may think they are turnips. But I am the turnip, because I am the only person doing things exactly the way that I do them. Sort of tautological, sure, but still.

Grand Master Turnip,

Clay

If you insist on being the Grand Master Turnip, I will remain

Ole,

I've realised the error of my ways - there are no true or false turnips. We are all turnips! If we unite and take root then the vegetable world is ours for the taking, but divided we are just a collection of ingredients waiting for a stock cube! There must be no schism!

 

[Andy K]

But Ian, multi-vegetablism is the way forward, and film is the stock. But we must resist the artificial processed veggies, 'Mash not Smash!'

 

[Ian Leake]

No, no, no! Listen to the Grand Master!

 

[gr82bart]

Yo, yo, y'all! Sup? Dog, it's baby Bok-Choy here looking for sum phat white tea. GMT, this is one sick thread, man. Lets not crush the hood Ian. There's space for all veggies in Sean's crib. Now where's the beef?

Regards, Baby Bok-Choy.

 

[Andy K]

But vegetablism excludes the fruits. There must be no Fruit prejudice, Down with Fruitism!

 

[ricksplace]

You could form a band with some people named lettuce and pea. Lettuce Turnip and Pea. Kinda has a nice ring to it. Would you have to be a vegan to listen to the music?

Vegan is a native word for "lousy hunter".

No-one has chosen brussel sprouts. Is that because nobody likes them and they smell bad? I can think of a few people that suit that name.

 

[Ole]

Brussel sprouts are actually quite nice, when they're cooked right. They should be firm and still slightly crisp, and not (as they usually are) boiled to a yellowish mush.

Alex' thought: "Anyone interested in organizing a turnip colony near Santa Fe?" is far too late- that was done decades ago by artists of the beet generation.

As for me, I'm trying to break the habit by wearing a turnip patch. After all, you don't know what might turnup.

henceforth to be demoninated as Radical Radish, still searching for his root influences

I prefer my Brussel sprouts thinly sliced up, and sauted in a boat load of buttah... they are the perfect vehicle to get butter from the table to your mouth. I'm making them tonight for dinner despite being the only one in the family who likes them.

So, I'll take the title!!

From the late, great bpNichol, Canadian poet:

turnips are
inturps are
urnspit are
tinsurn are
rustpin are
stunrip are
piturns are
nutrips are
suntrip are
untrips are
spinrut are
runspit are
pitnurs are
runtsip are
puntsir are
turnsip are
tipruns are
turpsin are
spurtin

I'm pretty sure that says it all.

 

[rkmiec]

and if for some reason a critic gives you a harsh review,your reply.."HEY,WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM A TURNIP".......

I like some toasted walnuts added.

[TheFlyingCamera]

Oh, you can just call me any old fruit you want to. Just don't call me late for dinner

 

[clay]

FYI

We do have a noble pedigree.

 

[JBrunner]

I'm confused. Do I address you as "Clay, Turnip" or simply "Turnip" or are you "The Turnip"? I see lots of turnips at the store, and they are turnips, so are you one of many, from many, one?? E Pluribus Unum? Can I aspire to be a Turnip, or do I have to get my own thing? Is there room in NM? How much cash do I have to cough up? So many questions.

 

[rwyoung]

I think you should go all out Clay and become the symbol previously known as the Artist Turnip...

 

[copake_ham]

The problem with being Turnip is that you have to deal with all the people who say: "I hate Turnips!", or "Turnips cause gas!" etc.

That's bad for one's self-esteem.

Have you considered something more positive and uplifting - such as Avocado?
