Vegetables of Satan

[Philip]

While at University, I went to a student conference and got very, very drunk, and then the following day dimly recalled being on stage and dancing with a band that included a singer who was dressed as a Bishop and another who was dressed as the Devil.

Lodged in my brain was a song they sang in Welsh that roughly translated as:

"Vegetables of Satan are coming in the night!
Vegetables of Satan will be giving you a fright!"

Over the years, I've wondered just how accurate my memory of that night was - having never heard of the band again or having met anyone from the conference to corroborate the events of that night.

Bizzarely, however, I've just discovered that the event was filmed and is on youtube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xLY5K6yjHAA) - unfortunately (or fortunately perhaps), my contribution doesn't seem to have been caught by the cameras.

The internet - wow!

[garyrulez]

Was that the same night you had a two hour conversation with a bar stool about the possibility of time travel?

[Philip]

Were you there too?

[just blame craig]

Time travel will never be possible. I should know, I'm from the future.

Sorry you missed out on your 15 minutes there Philip.

[WeedMage]

What a great story!

[Amicustoall]

Phillip when I read your post I sang the lyrics to Dream Police song, so I was thrown a bit when I watched the video. Was this entertainment part of the conference or you were all at a pub after?

[Philip]

I honestly can't remember - I was VERY drunk.

[Philip]

Sorry you missed out on your 15 minutes there Philip.

I've never wanted to be famous.

But I am on youtube a few times - I'm in the middle of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zDc6cAJcaw&feature=related), but I suspect one or two of you are, too!

[garyrulez]

Were you there too?

Dude, you totally C-blocked me from that bar stool!

I'm thinking that camera person was standing on my left, but very close to me. I don't know which one you are because I missed you at the board party. But I heard you traded awesome candy.

what, did you and 3 friends need a place to sit?

[garyrulez]

what, did you and 3 friends need a place to sit?

I'm offended.

[just blame craig]

I'm offended.


I'm disgusted that you figured out what I meant.

[garyrulez]

I'm disgusted that you figured out what I meant.

No, I still don't get it- but I'm offended just out of principle.

[just blame craig]

I'm offended that your offended.



And I think we high jacked Philips thread. Sorry Philip. Good drunk story. Youtube is like your "The Hangover" movie.

[Philip]

I don't know which one you are.

Brown hooded top, bald/shaved head, glasses, and first to catch Peter, Jessie and Lacey.

Youtube is like your "The Hangover" movie

I was sober at Gaelic Storm.

[just blame craig]

I was sober at Gaelic Storm.

That was after Key West, right? I wasn't sober. But I was refering to the post that kicked off this thread.

First night, I think...

And just heading off the perception that I'm a drunk!

Still can't believe we missed each other on the ship - you must have been deliberately avoiding me. Maybe next time.

[Amicustoall]

Phillip we saw Craig EVERYWHERE on the ship. Of course, he is not aware of seeing us at all. :)

Maybe next time.

I know I saw them each time they played on the boat but I might have been drunk each time. (I'm not a drunk in real life either, just on boats) But I know I stood in almost the exact same spot for every pool side show. And I know I was at that one.

[garyrulez]

On the first night at some point, my mother turned to me and said "is it your mission to drink all the alcohol on this ship?"

Very proud moment.

[Amicustoall]

Did you tell her you would have to compete with many others to do that gary? I don't think we ever saw you when you were in that state gary.

somehow I think your intentions have never been so clear.

[garyrulez]

Yeah, that's because after the first night, I took it very easy!

[garyrulez]

Believe you me, Craig- she knew I wasn't screwing around.

I thought this was a thread about Zucchini, Mushrooms and Rapini...

[just blame craig]

I thought this was a thread about Zucchini, Mushrooms and Rapini...

those are the vegetables of love!



Gary, turn the stool up side down.;)

[Amicustoall]

But I saw you at the Sail Away the first night gary............although it was early still!!!

[garyrulez]

Yeah, that's when she told me...I think between going out on deck and the end of BNL's set I went from stone cold sober to 5 times the legal limit.

[Amicustoall]

That Florida air will do that do you!

[Philip]

I thought this was a thread about Zucchini, Mushrooms and Rapini...

Does that mean you consider those particular vegetables evil?

[garyrulez]

Does that mean you consider those particular vegetables evil?

Mushrooms are not evil, they're just not very tasty- rapini is evil because I don't know what it is.

[Amicustoall]

I hope this helps
Rapini (also known as Broccoli Rabe (or Raab), Broccoletti, Saag (Punjabi)Broccoli di Rape, Cime di Rapa, Rappi, Friarielli (in Naples), and Grelos) is a common vegetable in Sicilian, Galician, Chinese, Italian, and Portuguese cuisine. The plant is a member of the Brassiceae tribe of the Brassicaceae, whose taxonomy is very difficult.[1] Rapini is classified scientifically as Brassica rapa subspecies rapa,[2] in the same subspecies as the turnip, but has had various other designations, including Brassica rapa ruvo, Brassica rapa rapifera, Brassica ruvo, Brassica campestris ruvo.

[PolyesterAngel]

Does that mean you consider those particular vegetables evil?

Yes.

Gary, Rapini is a bitter green in the broccoli family. It's icky.

[WeedMage]

I love mushrooms ... just sayin'

[Amicustoall]

Me too Weed. I have also had broccili rabe done nicely. I forgot zuccs............love zuccs

[DaWezl]

That is awesome, Phillip! Amazing what you can find on the internet

Of course, seeing "Vegetables of Satan" got me thinking of Zappa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZvFoSI5VN8), lol! :)

Damn Philip I wanna drink with you someday!

[just blame craig]

That Florida air will do that do you!

instead of blaming Florida air, we could blame his thirst on Global Warming.:)

[really_mzungu]

Mushrooms aren't vegetables. They're fungi. Evil, evil fungi.

[Lacey]

Delicious fungi!!!

[really_mzungu]

Fungi of Satan!

[Lacey]

LIES!!!!!

I used to have a t-shirt that said Shiitake happens. That was pretty funny.

[garyrulez]

Fungi of Satan!

RM, Satan is NOT a fun guy. I was watching Kirk Cameron the other night...

Satan might be fun. But he's the kind of fun that leads to cautionary tales. And mushrooms.

Bah! That's like saying corn isn't a vegetable ... um, wait ...
