Vegetables certainly don't have legs as they stand, Rhuby. But Legend has it that they made some, possibly out of Lego.

What about vegetables stands.. if vegetables don't have legs, how is it they go around standing all the time?
vegetables stands are a common site.. (unless stand there is use as in Custer's Last Stand. are vegetable stands are where vegetable try to hold out, and not get eaten?

over here, Helen, we torture our vegetables on vegetable racks.

And the Leg end you refer to, shona, - is it covered by trousers with turnips?

Aww... thank you, guys! (That's the generic term -- along the lines of "all uh y'all.")

I've been on the road and it looks like I dropped my end of the lode, huh? At least I missed quite the slurry of activity here. We word slingers do so enjoy both the hunt and the quarry, and some of us just get boulder and boulder.

It does appear that we have schistematically crushed this topic though. And that's probably best; I suspect that everyone has had quite enough of all this gee-ology.

You're right, helen - this thread is by no means a has-bean. If you carrot all for words, you'll continue to mangol them in the same ole way.
So - on the thread goes, and lettuce wish god's spud to her.
