Fruits

Apples are tasty. What do other people think?

I like them myself. Candy apples rock! Charm 09:20, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
I prefer bananas S Sepp 19:49, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)
The candy apple's sibling, the caramel apple, is also a tasty comestible dkitchin 06:20, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I think that Candy apples is an americanism for Toffee apples like what we used to get at fairgrounds. --Orelstrigo 01:09, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm not going to lie, I really don't like them.--Ewhite77 16:00, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
Apples are better testing than windows!
Oops! I meant tasting!!!
Yes, but windows are more testing.--The Wise Lamb 15:45, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
And we all know that an apple every eight hours keeps three doctors away (based on a cartoon by Kliban).

Love 'em, but what kind of apple is your favorite? Mine is the Honeycrisp because it is explosively crisp! See UofMN Honeycrisp Apple Kamarainen 14:45, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I like Russet apples. They're small, but packed full of flavour. Not too sweet, but very tasty. P Ingerson 19:06, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Response

Oranges are better.

But not the only fruit (according to Jeanette Winterson).
Valiantis 21:46, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I quite disagree. Plantains are superior. Superm401 19:49, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Plantains can be either:
  1. A tiny but tasty variety of banana.
  2. A nasty weed that will ruin your lawn if they get out of control.

--Orelstrigo 01:14, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  1. A brand of personal computers. 65.30.80.183 21:33, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Questions regarding Fruits

Does anyone know the name of the snakeskin fruit, found on Bali? It is so delicious and I have no idea what it's called.Darlbundren 04:53, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No more fruit!

Let's talk veggies!

gomer43 08:06, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree because
  1. veggies are more interesting
  2. veggies have been known to be controntational, at times
  3. most people resemble veggies and therefore
  4. it's on this page Raranke 12:05, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    1. we can learn a lot about ourselves by inquiring into the nature of the

lettuce subconscious, the carrot's vile ego, &c.

everyday chaos 08:08, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Items commonly mistaken for vegetables include:
Tomatoes (they're a fruit) BWatkins 01:00, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Haggis
Sunbathers
Certain types of historic monument
Tim J Tylor 19:21, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Veggies are only barely more tolerable than vegans

Bad Spelling

see above

Personally, I'd have spelled that 'sea'. Andy F

Vegans

Many people consume veggies exclusively, not because they love animals, but because they hate vegetables. Myron 20:06, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes well a healthy hate of veggies CAN help maintain a healthy body. Gadriel 00:56, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

value

I have little of value to ad

Same here. ziggy 17:22, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
What you have added is valuable to me. Fulto006 00:35, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I knew a vegan who refused to eat garlic...He thought it was such a spiritually evolved vegetable that it was going to turn into an animal any time now! jhuger 04:10, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Evil Veggies

vegetables are the devils food - Help save the world by eating your 5 portions each day!

kedge 20:56, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

this is a bonus comment! bonus! 18:54, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Only eating five portions?! If you really want to save the world eat at least 10 a day!
aD November 15th, 2004

If you really really want to save the world, eat at least 10 vegans a day! --Allstarzero 19:35, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Well, if you ask me, you should have atleast 15 vegans a day. 209.191.59.178 03:25, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Evil veggies we know and (don't) love

  • Pickled okra - like a furry dill pickle, very odd
  • Lima beans
  • anything canned and therefore mushy

A confession

Not to derail the conversation, but I'm afraid I created a wikipedia entry before completing the tutorial.

Hmm. I notice the anonymous entry there. In the words of a sage, RTFM. Pseudosocrates 15:06, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
No worries, most everybody edits before discovering the "backstage" where all the How To's are kept. Learn, and go back and polish what you did. Or move on -- if you made errors, someone else will fix them. That's what Wiki is all about! Be bold, have fun, do good! [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine\talk]] 16:24, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. gpvos 18:55, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

??? My Latin's not all that advanced and what you just said didn't seem to make any sense.

echomikeromeo 00:35, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nolite - plural vocative = Do not
te - accusative I'm guessing = you
bastardes - I don't know if its a real word, but I'm guessing nominative plural = bastards
carborundum - hmmmm, a tough one. Let me think... I remember some weird construction when using noli or nolite + the gerundive. The gerundive means 'ought' or 'let' = let ... get ... down.
Therefore, the final translation is "Don't let the bastards get you down." Jdjuice 23:44, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Let's discuss Win & Lin

Personnaly I think that linux rocks and windoze suxx

Я забыл падписацца, асёл (I forgot to sign my name) --Anthony Ivanoff 03:17, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That's quite a language you've got there. Which brings up an interesting point: Why didn't my parents teach me more than one language?
-Shirimasen 00:40, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I wish my parents had spoken other languages to me. I am trying to learn Spanish but it takes so much dedication, I think I'll wait until I am retired! Laura D 21:11, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
If I could speak Japanese, I wouldn't be here in Oklahoma, USA! ...but I am learning though.
--Garenthino Marcough 02:00, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

This is too hard to figure out

  • Is this bulleted
  • Is this?
  1. Is this numbered?

just posting a comment

I don't know about apples and oranges, but russian rocks!!

That really didn't make alot of sense!
I don't really care!!!
Okay, you both are dumb and here is why-
  • You are having an argument with yourself;
  • I am also you, so I know you are dumb.
  • Where are we going with this?
  • Oh yeah, this is just a text-thread thingy.

This is kinda neat

I have three cats.
I got hit by a truck two weeks ago.
No, really. I broke my kneecap and I can't go anywhere.
  • So I'm really bored.
    • But at least it doesn't hurt much. Sometimes.

Cool
