I know that one of my very favorite bloggers has been putting pictures of strange rock formations on her site. She invites readers to tell her what the odd and unusual shapes might look like to them.
Therefore, please let me know what the strange and unusual shape of these vegetables look like to you.
They are natural and wholesome foods that have, perhaps through gigantic upheavals in the earth, been turned into peculiar forms.

There's a very interesting story in our local paper (again, a judge is involved in it) that I found very upsetting and portraying a lack of commonsense and perspicacity rendered by Metropolitan District Court Judge Clyde DeMersseman and Assistant District Attorney Anthony Long.
The power and might of the City of Albuquerque and a six person jury (we spare no expense) have been loosed on a law breaker. And he has been found guilty. Hooray for JUSTICE!
As citizens of the mightiest nation on earth (albeit coming from one the most poorly schooled populaces in the country and infiltrated by illegal beings who want nannies), we have our rights.
For those who want to know what Peter Lynch's (an eight year American Air Force veteran) crime was, herewith the charge: "misdemeanor criminal damage to property".
Oh, yeah, he was a University of New Mexico student at the time. He still is.
So what heinous crime did Lynch commit?
Being a loyal American, with all those years of service to his country behind him and having only been out of the Air Force for 3 days, he tore down an improperly displayed flag.
A Mexican flag. One that was illegally and improperly on display.
He saw a Mexican flag being flown in front of the university's Admin building. And not having an American flag being flown at the same time. A clear violation of flag protocol and an attack on the symbolism of the American Flag.
Lynch said he contacted officials at UNM and the Army ROTC, but nothing was done about the breach.
So a loyal American ripped an offending foreign nation's flag down and tore it into a couple of pieces. After all, we've all seen the pictures of foreign students burning American flags in America, while they were cheered on by other instigators. And we have also seen they weren't even charged with a misdemeanor.
But it seems Judge Demersseman had a hard on. Instead of a fine and a "don't do it again" he laid it on an American patriot and sentenced him to six months supervised probation (including trips to a Parole Officer), 48 hours of community service, restitution in the form of a replacement flag (that really irritated me) and into anger management counseling.
Our marvelous City Attorneys had asked for 200 hours of community service. (When it comes time, I'm working to have the present DA defeated.)
The judgie had the balls (and the lack of wit) to say "...A flag is more than a piece of cloth."
He's gotta go, too.
Lynch was interviewed by a talk station here after the sentencing and and stated "I don't feel welcome in this state anymore. After my six months of probation is completed...I want to go. I want to be somewhere other than here."
I wonder if he'd consider running for a judge's seat in Metropolitan Court?
.
One more thought: It does not seem that "the law people" considered the effect this will have on race relations here. I see absolutely no good coming from it.

re: your illustration. That certainly does remind me of something I've seen in the past... but I can't quite put my finger on it. (literally)
Header_ you couldn't pay me enough to go there.
Flag: Obviously nobody has told you that New Mexico has been given back to Mexico.
Fruit: I see two lemons and a couple of squash. What did you see?
Hey Buck. ON it? Or in it?
I figured that, Moose. And with all the signs here in Spanglish, you may be right.
Yeah, re the picture.
See if you can guess the next one, coming soon.
Them veggies sure don't look like Snausages, that's for sure! Thanks catmoves for your funny reply to my comment on therawfeed.com I like how you spelt "probably" and that really cracked me up.
Hey Buck. ON it? Or in it?
Yes.
:-)
You're welcome Pirilampo. Visit anytime.
Buck: I am too busy roaring to reply to this.
Damn, Cat, you outta take Buck to the ABQ farmer's market when they get going - sounds like his zucchini could use the outing!
And don't be teasing me about my rock formations or I will start posting the more suggestive ones! If you don't think we have naughty rocks out here, go check out my post of June 24, 2007. Seems like only Fat Hairy 'got it' at the time though.
Lin, that's a great idea. After all, what's a man with a limp zucchini?
I would never think of teasing you, either. But now I've gotta start with the rock formation thingee. After I check out that post.
Beggin' yer pahdon Lin, but Moose and I were instructed to call you "Dame Pottymouth' at that site. There's gotta be a way we can list our posts without having to search all the entries, too. OK, smart people, how do we do that?
Hmphhh, granted, but you guys didn't compliment me on my pair of nice hoodoos, did you?
All Right! Front and Center, guys.
YOU'VE GOT A GREAT PAIR OF HOODOOS, LIN.
(For a Pottymouth.)
Eggplant porn. What took them so long....
Oh, yeah Goddess. And I've got some more. Did you click on the header?
