"The candidate who slimed John McCain in the primaries and smeared Al Gore in the general election is now the president who pledges to elevate the nation's tone and bring civility to our discorse. Kind of like Michael Corleone brought peace to the mob by killing the heads of the other four families."

Well, aside from my profitable business of hunting and selling them (careful not to harm the little sub-turnips, they need to grow), they fascinate me! Especially Liam, he's a handful. (I'll sell him to the lowest bidder tomorrow.)

I was under the impression that the act of Hunting Turnips was quite illegal. As in against the law. This isn't the Running Man.

And, besides, you'd do much better if you created a large wooden-enclave, placed a few Shearer-signed balls covered with the powder from the special bags that turnips seem to enjoy in their consumables in the center. The tunips, with their beady little eyes and Urple bodies would charge into your Turnip Hotel faster than they can gobble.

Liam is a turnip? Cool.

But I always thought him more of a parsnip

quote:
(p�rsnp)
n.
1.A strong-scented plant (Pastinaca sativa) cultivated for its long, white, edible, fleshy root.

Then Simon is a parsnip? Or perhaps "überparsnip" would be more accurate?

Simon is not so much fleshy as he is earthy.

earth�y (�rth)
adj. earth�i�er, earth�i�est.
1.Of, relating to, consisting of, or resembling earth: an earthy smell.
2.Relating to or characteristic of this world; worldly.
3.Crude or off-color; indecent: an earthy joke.
4.Hearty or uninhibited; natural: an earthy enjoyment of life.

Yes... *muses* The uninitiated often bite off more than they can chew, causing the body to react violently. You need a tempered, calm turniper to pull of a cirkus-stunt like that...
Not to worry, I break my disciples down completely before shaping their doughey minds into mature spring-turnips! You'll long for the hard plains of the russian soil in notime!!!

"But I'm not a turnip!!"

I think Nimrod is trying to muscle in on the Curry Order. We need Daryus to get his Curry deities to cause some smiting here and there.

Well, High Priest TSN has in his swift handle already fusioned a hybrid between the two, an emissary, the Toinip Haderach!

Exactly. He measures himself in kilometers, rather than miles...
