They have a completely separate piece of land entirely surrounded by water? Cool grocer.

I bought broccoli over the weekend and put it in the salad tray of my fridge. Bad mistake. Now everything in there is frozen rock solid due to Broccoli's natural tendency to augment the function of anything it touches...

How come this is not a meme yet? Something along the lines of: "and on the 8th day God created broccoli."   :roflmao:

It reminds of that lady astronaut going about tortillas and assorted food pastes.

Whatever floats your boat.

I must have been psychologically influenced or something because this year I started a large garden and I'm actually growing broccoli. (...no wait... I'm getting confused... am I growing the broccoli.. or is it growing me??)

With 8 pages, maybe this is the fastest Broccoli growing I've ever heard about....
It seems that broccolis will dominate the planet

Sprouts are better.
We even have a game called sprouts (and Brussels Sprouts):

Where is your Brocolli game, eh? :roflmao:

Notice how the game puts an emphasis on how disgusting sprouts are, not about how great they are. Nobody feels that way about broccoli as it's common knowledge, even amongst deniers such as yourself that have joined the true bottom ranks of society that actually like sprouts, that broccoli is, always has been and always will be the true green of greatness and undeserving of such ridicule. It is only your intractable guilt at having soiled yourself with the vile sprout that you feel you are no longer worthy of the great broccoli that leads you to this denial. It's easier to pretend broccoli is not the one true green veg than it is to admit your desperate yearning to return from whence you have fallen.

A sorry state indeed.

Incidentally, the game is quite amusing :)

Sir, whilst I have the utmost respect and affection for broccoli, you must concede, my learned friend, that Asparagus is truly the greatest of all vegetables.
It's elastic bands are superior (having served me in ways to numerous to recall), however I concede that it does not have the floppy-drive-eject-button-stylee plastic tab.

Asparagus is so good, that I personally class it as an honorary meat.

PS - Hello to all, it's nice to be back posting here again, it's been a while. Other priorities took over for a year.

Sir, with respect, I believe that asparagus is a worthy green and it ranks high in my estimation but I'm not quite sure I can yield to the view that it is quite as excellent as broccoli.

Ha, what poppycock, bilge, fiddle and fuss!
 
Half you scallywags wouldn't know an honest vegetable if it rose up out of the ground and ensconced itself in your lower colon!
When broccoli was at the crossroads of the evolutionary choice between dinosaur snot and flea pustules, sprouts had already taken over the realm of all flora as the most nutritious vegetable there is. In fact it is in homage to this great vegetable that even your own testicles have attempted to emulate their shape. The last thing I saw that looked like a broccoli, dear sir, was a purulent oozing venereal scab on the labia majora of a woman of ill repute!
 
And as for asparagus...ha! A most foul vegetable, with no merit, no substance, and a tendency to resemble a limp boiled squid's penis. I have to ask you, sir, what sort of nefarious chicanery you are imbued with, by championing such a vile, reeking tendril of pus?
 
Nay, I say verily...all else is twaddle, fiddlesticks and high jinx dipped in buffoonery.
The sprout is king and that is all there is to it. Let he who wants to be the first to experience an awakened existence, admit to all here that he has been saved by the sprout!
