Happy Thought Of The Day

From Veggie Tales, an animated series about a group of vegetables. They don't have arms or legs, manage to get around pretty well anyway.

Larry the Cucumber (in tears, to Bob the Tomato, after a particularly touching story): "That was beautiful: hold me, Bob."
Bob the Tomato (also in tears): "I would if I could, man. I would if I could."

I keep quoting this to people, and I sent it to a sad little sister just now to cheer her up. It's a scream. Which video was this on?

Thank God Bob doesn't have any arms.

And Jess (of bubblegum wall fame) and I really laughed at your post with the label "girly". "I am a man...I hit things..."

I'm pretty sure it's at the end of Madame Blueberry. It's pretty cool, and maybe all the better for coming from a vegetable.

As for "girly", glad you liked it, but I wasn't really joking... maybe I need to go hunting or something. *furrowed brow*

Reminds me of a hilarious skit from one of those Friday night comedy shows on Canadian TV... "Men Anonymous" in some hunting lodge, and they open the meetings with the deadpan faces chanting:

I'm a man
I can change
If I have to
Maybe.

More power to ya.

Yeah, it always comes down to "maybe". I think the real determining factor is, is there going to be pie involved?

Good point! :-) But which kind? After all, there's lemon meringue and there's apple in two different continental styles, and there's pumpkin if it's not too sloppy and peach cobbler and key lime and let's not forget Boston Cream Pie... but that mincemeat stuff my southern aunt makes really isn't my style.

That may be the crux of the difference between men and women.

Man: "Mmmmmmm. Pie." [eyes glaze over]

Ah. I see there is a clear difference between your taste in movies vs. pie. This may very well be the only thing in Darryl's World that comes without stipulation or qualification.

Score one point in the "low-maintenance" column. ;-)

Darryl said...

Lol... I maintain that I am actually relatively low-maintenance, and since we don't have many friends in common, you're going to have to just take my word for it. If there's one thing I'm not, though, it's low-analysis. Except, as you say, when it comes to pie...
