I just learned that this thing is obviously called "eggplant" in english. Funny.

Geo

At work, some 45 year old lady asked me where she could find eggplants… So, I ignore the fact that she was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, and pointed at them (measured distance from her nose to the crate: approx 1.3 m).

"Oooh ok thanks... So uuhh... You've only got them in this colour?.. You don't have green ones?.. They're all black?.."
"No, they're all purple... And no: no such thing as a green eggplant as far as I know..."
"Oh ok... It's just that I never had one of these before..."

HOW CAN YOU BE FORTY FUCKING 5 YEARS OLD AND NOT KNOW HOW AN EGGPLANT LOOKS LIKE?.. LET ALONE THE FACT THAT SHE NEVER HAD IT BEFORE...

I mean, the EGGPLANT, the world's funniest looking vegetable!.. One of the best things in the world!..

calm yourself little one . . . you need some stronger meds

some people would call that an aubergine and whatever you call it, you do get them is all sorts of colours - white, green, orange, purple, black. we usually see that colour because it's probably the most widely cultivated

. . . and what's wrong with being 45 (shortly to be 46)?

lol @ geo & seul

this would be a much different place without you two

Geo

hey - you're not getting out of that easily Monday . . . exploiting innocent little kids in your shameless quest to win the 1000 members, and all the other little wind-ups and posts . . . I've got my beady eyes on you

madmonday

i'm a yank, all about exploiting folks, hehehehehehehe

Seul

Aubergines is what we call it as well… Man those purple ones with white stripes look delicious...

There's nothing wrong with being 45 at all, unless you haven't had eggplant in your life yet...

Geo

nossir! i like aubergine - do a mean morrocan stew with them . . . lotsa chillies though - goes down smooth, comes out fighting

Geo

broke my nose - 'i boke by dose' is actually how it sounds

put my 32 on for some comfort

Giles

Who broke your doze? At the institution for the criminally insane? Caught looking at one of the inmates girls?

And liking the aubergine tie-in…..

elclintor

Whoa that sucks Geo!

May I ask what happened?

Beatle

how the hell did that happen ???????????????/

Just_KC

ouch, it looks like you caught an elbow to the nose.

Seul

That sheep put up quite the fight ey!.. Or did you hug Doug?..

Geo

@Giles:

ah - so you got the aubergine gag?

well modesty forbids elucidation but i think you all know the first rule of Fight Club: "You do not talk about Fight Club" . . . but both Brad and Edward are pussies - even together

the other thing I learned today is that galvanized scaffold poles are definitely very unforgiving in a tough metallic way . . .

Seul

So you walked into a pole…

Hahaha that's quite unfortunate Geo!..

Giles

@Geo:

galvanized scaffold poles are definitely very unforgiving

Shit, knock me over with a feather….........

Geo

not quite - scaffolder let it slip and I was lucky to hear his shout otherwise it was going through the side of my face

but everybody laughed once i got up off my arse . . . bastards ::)

Seul

Geo

were you there?

Seul

I'm always there, mortal…
