harvest time

yes, i grew that beautiful tomato below, it's just the first in what will be a bumper crop. last time i counted there were about 30 tomatoes on my 2 good plants.



rather than basking in the glory of growing that exquisite tomato above i'm dying of embarrassment. i can't believe how dusty and dirty my keyboard was. it was a job for the shop vac. i vacuumed the shit out of my keyboard but it might be easier find the new keyboard that came with the computer than to give it a really good scrubbing.

can you guess the ethnicity of the woman looking into the microscope below?



apparently a focus group or two decided that the woman was a chinaman and insulin was discovered by 2 canandian white men; fred banting and charley best. the presumably white people in the focus group complained to the bank of canada and it was decided to remove the offending photo in favor of a more white image. it wasn't handled with a great deal of tact and now the chinamen are madder than old rat shit and the congress of canadian chinamen is screaming racism. and don't forget an earlier post i did about these $100 bills melting in the heat.

in case you think i'm making this lunacy up, READ THIS!

i don't know about you, but i can't see much chinese in the photo.

i love you sons of bitches.

That's a fine looking tomato, I've picked two so far, the skins are tough but they taste good.

As for the pictures on money, who gives a fuck as long as it's good for trade.

BBC said...

If these monkeys wasn't so fucking vain they'd put something else on their money beside pictures of monkeys.

BBC said...

Like a picture of a nice John Deere tractor.

thimscool said...

Y'all're bat shit crazy.

BBC said...

I think the monkeys on our bills are goofy looking fucks. Really, have you looked at any of them lately?

BBC said...

Y'all're bat shit crazy.

Correction, we're all bat shit crazy, and that includes you.

texlahoma said...

She looked white to me, good thing I'm not in charge. Our tomatoes are just a distant memory, I'm glad your harvest is going to be good.

BBC said...

Einstein was bat crazy and was okay with it so I don't see why I shouldn't be.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - i think it might be a good idea to convert some of those chinese insulin researchers into a shiny commodity.

tex - yeah, i just can't see any chinese features in that picture. maybe our focus groups were blind.

bill - i don't think einstein was bat shit crazy. lot's of people just make money out of crazy pictures of albert.

Cheyenne said...

I am just so sick and tired of people pulling the race card. It is way overboard these days. You can't say anything without offending someone somewhere. I would love to climb a mountaintop and offend everyone far and wide.

Gorilla Bananas said...

I'd say she was white woman with fine delicate features, maybe one-quarter Chinese. What would happen if someone suggested it should be withdrawn because it flatters Canadian women?

BBC said...

No, I've studied Einstein a lot, and he figured he was crazy, but his craziness gave us some cool stuff. He damn near went insane a few times but mastered that.

If I grow a tomato plant next year it won't be a Roma, I guess they are best used as a canning tomato.

C.P.

You, and the Canadian public, have been played quite well on the 100 dollar bill thing.

Rule 1
How fortunate it is for governments that the people do not think.

Rule 2
If you can get the people to ask all the wrong questions, you do not have to provide answers to the right ones.

C.P.

If you have 30 tomatoes on your good plants, how many on your bad ones?
And how do you differentiate between the two?

C.P.

silly rabbit said...

She looks not only white but blond. Weird.
Your tomato is lovely!
I agree that the race card is played too much.
How can you expect people to stop noticing race if you keep shoving it in their faces?

billy pilgrim said...

cheyenne - playing the race card can be very profitable if done right.

gb - i've already suggested that and nothing happened.

bill - you're tossing batting practice for leslie.

aquarians - what does c.p. stand for?

i have 2 crappy little plants with 3 tomatoes each. it's not their fault that they're not big strapping plants. i planted them in an area with poor sunlight.

billy pilgrim said...

silly - i've talked to countless people about this and not one person saw anything chinese in the photo. there must be a parallel universe nearby with white chinamen.

BBC said...

bill - you're tossing batting practice for leslie.

No, I'm simply talking to you, when she isn't commenting here this is a much more pleasant place.

BBC said...

I'm guessing that CP stands for Canadian public.

Leslie said...

Oh I believe BBC has "studied Einstein a whole lot". Even "a whole fucking bunch", if you will. And I'm not the least bit surprised he compares himself to him.

Einstein was also a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar.

Anonymous said...

C.P. is an initialism representing the phrase "Cootie Prophylaxis".
One or more people 'round here are known, or suspected, to have cooties and I wish to remain unaffected.

Leslie said, knowingly,

".....Einstein was also a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar....."

He had his own teeth 'til he died though.

Leslie said...

I have proof "CP" stands for "Clutter Pornographer" !

Show us then.

Leslie said...

Want me to? Bored are we?

Maybe after HBOT when I'm all spaced out and unable to make better use of my time.

Anonymous said...

If by HBOT you mean Fucking Bitch Training School, your tuition for which is paid for by our own beloved and selfless BBC, then yes - Bring It On!

billy pilgrim said...

i thought c.p. had something to do with hunter harrison.

BBC said...

The fucking idiot thinks I compare myself to Einstein, how about that?

I just admire the man, I'll never contribute to the world some of the things he did.

BBC said...

It would be pretty fucking stupid for me to think I'm like someone just because I admire them. Leslie knows lots of words but she's still an idiot that thinks she's a shrink.

BBC said...

".....Einstein was also a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar....."

We are all plagiarists, git da fuck over it. For a nitwit he sure came up with some neat things, what has your nitwit self came up with?

As for lying (or bullshit), I suppose he did, when he wanted to get a woman to have sex with him, that's just how men are wired.

Not that once he started to gain some fame he had much trouble getting laid (women love to fuck men of fame) and it's suspected that he even fathered a couple of kids during that time.

BBC said...

Any rumors that Einstein fucked Leslie's mother are strictly hearsay. But on the other hand there is another idiot on this rock.

BBC said...

Postscript: My mother did not fuck Einstein to my knowledge, but only because he wasn't in the same space she was.

yellowdoggranny said...

cool 'mater..
I thought she looked American..bwhahahaha

billy pilgrim said...

bill - i firmly believe that einstein befriended an extraterrestrial who gave him all the ideas.

BBC said...

Deed youse kow dat cherry pie was a common breakfast item befir cuming a dessert?

Mr. Shife said...

I am with you about the picture. Don't see much Chinese but I am just a dumb, white guy. Great work on the harvest. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Have a good weekend, BP.

Kelly said...

I see a Caucasian woman looking into the microscope. Below that image is apparently a bottle or container of insulin.

Your tomato looks good on the keyboard. Your keyboard looks good to me, compared to mine. Mine has buried food crumbs and rubbed out letters across it.

Thea cat hair is annoying, too.

Take care, dude.

thimscool said...

Turn the shit over like Bush did a boatload of Haitians.

BBC said...

Fuck Haiti, it's 95 percent catholic and the church expects them to produce like rabbits, the fucking church can save them, if they're not to busy fucking alter boys.

BBC said...

At my age I've used up a lot of my empathy, fuck it all.

BBC said...

Toss them to the fucking pigs.

I reckon Leslie has been absent of late 'cause she's teaching Obie how to swim.

Is it just me or does it not seem that all the TV folks are pissed off because that can't call Isaac a hurricane (at least not as of Tuesday, August 28 @ 12:20 New York time)?

Seems it's a hurricane now.
I spoke too soon.
