Five uses for Brussels Sprouts

1. Slingshot missiles for vegetarians

2. Bowling ball for a chipmunk

3. Snowman testicles

4. Things to throw at someone who suggests you shouldn't be having a second slice of pie

5. Duct tape one to each ear and drive someplace you've never been before. When the locals express confusion about you, pretend to have no idea what they're talking about. Insist that where you come from, EVERYONE does this on this day of the year. When the locals don't believe you and express suspicion that you are in fact a raving nut case, you won't be able to hear them anyway because, hey, you've got a Brussels sprout duct taped to each ear.

The use as a bowling for chip monks conjures a delightfully funny picture but I'd rather eat them. It one of the few vegetables my veggie hating husband will eat. Had some with dinner just last night!

Snowman testicles? Wouldn't they be blue?

Love it! I hope you don't do that to your snowmen - It could cause some car accidents, no doubt. ;-)

(Note to self: read profiles before posting stupid comments.)

Grace: I totally understand wanting to eat chipmunks. Oh... wait, you meant the brussels sprouts. Now THAT'S just weird.

MonkeyMan: LOL!

00dozo: Car accidents AND horse/buggy accidents. I live in an area with a fair amount of Amish people. :)

I actually like brussel sprouts.

Janna said...

Mik: Given a choice, I'd rather eat the chipmunks.

I'd rather eat the brussels sprouts (rather like them, actually) than the snowman testicles. Would those be called "tundra oysters"?

Janna said...

PattiKen: Tundra Oysters! LOL! Yes! :)

I like Brussels sprouts, and would probably enjoy having them taped to my ears. I put strange things on my ears all the time, even in my hometown. I don't know why, and perhaps it explains why I don't have any true friends.

Dingleballs for Carmen Miranda's hat.

I think I may have done #4.

MikeWJ: I don't have a ton of friends either. Well, unless you count the imaginary ones. They're ok. It would be nice if they'd help out with the bills once in awhile, but I guess I'll just have to settle for the random mumblings and secret messages.

MurrBrewster: Excellent!

Marla: I know I've certainly considered it...
