Aug 24 2009Finally!: Heart And Star Shaped Cucumbers

cuke-1.jpg

In Japan's unending quest to grow edibles shaped like other things comes these heart and star shaped cucumbers.

These cucumbers represent the cumulative efforts of an agricultural coop determined to make food preparation a little bit more exciting. Comprised of nine women in Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, this grass roots organization cleverly uses plastic molds affixed to the stem of the plant, with which they can create heart and star shapes when the cucumber is sliced cross-wise.


These romantic cucumbers are selling at fancy supermarkets in Tokyo and as specially ordered wedding gifts at ceremonies throughout Japan. They cost 300 yen each (about $2.50).

Nice try, growers, but Lucky Charms has been growing marshmallows in different shapes for years. Anybody ever picked through a whole box to make a bowl of nothing but marshmallows? Well I hope you washed your hands first.

Hit the jump for what the vegetables look like ON A SALAD.

@4 WHY DON'T YOU GO AND LICK YOUR MOM'S NUTS

That's cool but I think it would be cooler if they could get broccoli to grow into the shape of something.

Do you guys think the people that post on mylifeisaverage.com are making all that up? Everything seems to be about Harry Potter. I think they are full of shat.

What are your thoughts?

STOMPY:

FAIL
chiba isn't a suburb of tokyo. But part of the the same area named kanto.

@12
There were a few in there I hadn't seen, nothing like a WTF moment...

@15
If you poke around his site you can find his other works. Also pretty messed up.

I remember the first time I saw a Joshua. Total brain lock for a minute.

@13
I gotta say RDA regardless of how foolish I find you, despite your infantile "humor", in spite of your pointless aggression, I still respect you greatly for not being a firstard. I mean, you still serve a function, and you do posess a wit and intelligence, no matter how poorly they are represented.

You may be the mean kid in the sandbox but at least you're not one of the cat turds. (although I think I saw you eat one once)

Love ya sweetie!

IN COMMUNIST RUSSA CUMBERS EAT YOU.

So Daisy started a running joke and every unoriginal pussy in the universe wants in on the action.

"I WANT TO BE THE FUNNY NOW! LOOK AT ME! LOOK WHAT I'M DOING!"

That felt awesome in my ass. Super coolz. trRDA sucks his own butter pasta. EEEWWWww!!one1!!1 My ballz smellyies like yeh YO! I wish I could live at mom's house sucking on her teet and shootz teh gun(gans) all daze. But I have to work and pay rent. That's what adults do until they can buy a house. Then they pay a mortgage. Can't live off of mommy forever. HAVE FUN SHootinSZ your GUB+NSBOGRIIHBG !!!!!!!!!!!!

@trRDA
Glad to see your bipolar meds have worn off for the day, you freakin nutjob...

Awww.... CUTE!!! lol no -.-


http://ubergosh.mybrute.com

@17 you will never know love, you're too busy being a nerd lurking on this minuscule site on the interwebz.... No, I take that back GFS who is a fat ass who is too lazy to use his full name will have no problem loving a cup-o-man juice like yourself.

So... While these seemingly random aggressive posts are entertaining as well as sad, everyone has failed to ask a crucial question. When your girlfriend masturbates with these when you're not home, at the moment she removes the shaped cucumber, is she gonna for a moment have a heart shaped vag? And where's the horseshoes, clovers, and blue moons; pots of gold and rainbows, and the red balloons?

How perverse that my girlfriend's chooch will act the opposite of a playdough fun factory for once.

wow 26- u beat me to it:)

Why you ask yourself would someone be like this? Let me tell you, I tried to reconcile with everyone. Genuinely feeling bad for how I have behaved. I try to apologize to everyone for my previous actions. And you know what they did? They abuse, disrespect and make fun of me. So for now I'm back to my old ways until someone can forgive me and treat me with some respect.

@8 I hope you drown in your own shit filled toilet... you poosicle eater. Then I'll have that spineless little prick Joshua eat your nutz and puke it stompy's azz.

shit. i shoulda read the post before making a lucky charms reference. I FAIL and I'm not too proud to admit it.

@29
don't worry, puberty and the raging hormones will wear off some day, you be slightly less annoying but still as worthless to everyone around you as you are now...

Agreed.

@26 nerd set himself up for failure.
Well if you didn't have a tic-tac dick like yourself and was able please something other than your own ass, your girlfriend wouldn't be masturbating while you're not home.

So trRDA, there's a few ways you could go about things. You could be the bigger man and stop flaming other posters regardless of what they say. Try only posting when you legitimately have something to add, whether it be a valid opinion related to the post or some sort of original humor. Quit getting your panties in bunch anytime someone says something you don't like and the rest of us lose respect for those bullies instead of you... just a thought. Option two is feign remorse and keep up what you've been doing.

Guys, hes obviously new here.
He doesnt understand that everyone pokes fun at eachother.
Like naas making love to novelty eagle heads.

So you would like me to post when I only have something legitimate to say. Well look at 32. Agreed.What type of dog ballz is that? who is he agreeing with? My guess is 25, 29, or 33.

@36

@37
http://fagtimes.ytmnd.com/

I'm new here too, it took me about three threads to figure out how this place worked and that myself and the people here are like-minded with similar senses of humor so that's no excuse. He comes off like an insecure middle-schooler; unable to outwit anyone so he uses poorly thought out verbal violence to be an unsuccessful e-bully. I've got no more sympathy for him.

HaHa stompy you stupid shit you called yourself a ginormous faggot. PMPL. What have you had too much cup-o-man juice this evening?

@39
well you poop from your dick cause your a-hole is to nasty

I was agreeing with the post directly above me.
Its called common sense.
And yes, we would ALL appreciate it if you only posted when you have somethng legitimate to say, or when stating your opinion about the subject.

Now class, notice how he's rude even when someone is being neutral towards him.

This is called "Classic jack-ass behavior".

there should two O's in your "to".
My asshole is TOO nasty.
Too with two O's is used when meaning also or describing an excess.

@40
congrats, you learned how to fake someones name with the copy paste function and visit the same site I do for funny stuff, lets see if I can use the copy paste function

You are so gay, when they asked you for a sperm sample, you farted into a cup.

You are so gay, when you were born the doctor spanked you, so you sucked his dick.

You are so gay, that you are too gay to work at Abercrombie.

You are so gay, you can take so many dicks in your asshole at one time that you look like a peacock.

You are so gay, on your license under sex it says anal.

Ha! at the sperm sample joke. The rest are even C's; C+ at best. Still... you gotta love good old fashioned "you're so gay" jokes.

I'll have to agree with Billy on this one, deathArmy whatever is pretty much a jack-ass

@46 Milton's looking for you.
@44 so, you're telling me you go to fagtimes for a fun time? Snort some man juice faggot.

@47
Hey, remember that time you made a witty comment and we all laughed and you felt good about yourself.... yeah, me neither...

Here's some jokes i enjoy; I hope you do as well.

What's funnier than a dead baby?
A dead baby sitting next to a kid with down syndrome

How do you stop a baby crawling round in circles ?
Nail its other hand to the floor.

How do you get 100 babies into a bucket?
With a blender!

How do you get them out again?
With tortilla chips!!!

What's more fun than strapping a baby to a clothesline and then spinning it around at 200km/h?
Stopping it with a shovel.

And my personal favorite...

What's harder than nailing a dead baby to a wall?
Nailing a dead baby to a dead puppy.

HA! These things make me cry, not because thay're sad, but because I laugh that hard.

You're right, I loved it. Both for the pun and the dead baby. I actually laughed audibly... I don't "LOL"

Ah, the second one's not as good. I perfer my baby's to be cuddly... then bludgeoned.

wow I'm so burnt out I honestly didn't make the pussy connection, I just like the cute factor.
Liked the baby ytmnd.

Wow! There is so much wrong with C-O-J's pic. Not the least of which is that it's fake. It's obviously a total photoshop job, you can tell because the shadow's are all wrong. I'm sure it'll somehow remind Daisy of some scene in that movie Never Back Down where Max does something entertaining.

I've kinda got a man-crush on Daisy's photoshop bit. Sorry Daisy, I'll stop biting your style, Right.... now.

you nerds are more messed up than I thought. Especially That One Guy talking about harming and decapitating babies.

Go make anal babies cüm guzzler

Le gasp, there've been more than 5 comments.
And none of them from the little kid?
Whats next?
Peace in the middle east?

Damn, bad timing on my part.

@60
No jackass, most of the babie's are already dead. Shouldn't you be in bed? I know you've got school tomorrow. You should put your lunch money in your shoe so nobody will take it.

@60
(to the tune of the theme song from Cheers)

Making your way through the web today takes everything you got
Running around prentending to be, everything your not
Wouldn't you like to get away....
(chorus)
Where everybody thinks your lame
And they also think your gay
You wanna be where people see, a world in which you're dead
You wanna be where everybody wants your head

@60

But seriously, all jokes aside, your life is pretty pathetic isn't it? Cmon you can tell me... I wonder how many other people despise you. It has to be soooo hard for you.... waking up in the morning and wonder why you even bother to get out of bed. Much pity...

Also, I haven't taken my psycology course yet, but I guarantee Freud has got something to explain why most of trRDA's posts have some sort of homo-eroticness involved. Maybe trying to overshadow his own latent homosexuality?

@65 You're right I have no friends. Would you like to be my friend on facebook?

@64PIMP! Holy crap STOMPY! I step out for dinner and you add the funniest comment of the evening

@68
thank you i'll be here all night... tip your waitressess....

Hit the jump for what the vegetables look like on a TOSSED salad, more like.


Here's the sad part. I am on a remote jobsite in Alaska. Been here 7 weeks, got 3 more to go. Nothing but time. I know STOMPY is working too. RDA? Admit it, you're at home aren't you? Sorry, your mom's home. It's OK pal, we can't think any less of you.

@71 All the bullshit I've said aside what is the weather like in Alaska?

too many comments for cucumbers

Damn, I missed some major RDA bashing!

RDA,
This may come off as offensive, but its not meant to be.
Do you suffer from bipolar disorder?
Just curious.

@72
Looks like you are on the 6th stage of greif... almost there...
http://tinyurl.com/lmokry

@75 I think I do. I think I have a split personality. As you can tell I'm untreated. I'm good right now, but then I get this streak going where I'm rude to everyone.

@76 Dude, Stompy I've never seen that before that's pretty awesome! How do you do that?

go to www.lmgtfy.com (let me google that for you) and it will create that site for you.... here, lets try it out
http://tinyurl.com/5kk4ou

Oh, its obvious.
As for now, it would be best if you stopped posting comments till you get treated.
But thats just my opinion.


See?
Thats how civilized people talk.
Just kidding.
I love you all.

79 Thanks for showing me that, it's the coolest thing I've seen in awhile.

don't thank me, thank your GW

People misunderstand bi-polar disorder. I've been treated and medicated for it off and on since I was in grade school, and that is no bi-polar. Every person who has mood swings is not automatically bi-polar, and RDA, split personality's are a symptom of schizophrenia. Bi-polar disorder's swings are from random ADD/ADHD like stages where you suddenly are overwhelmed with energy and unable to focus, many times I get a euphoric, almost invincible feeling when I'm at that level. You are then likely to swing to an extreme depression rife with lethargy and suicidal tendencies (not the band). I know many of you don't know any bette, but being Bi-polar has made my life suck on many occasions and I work hard to cope with it without using it as an excuse, and it truly offends when people who are truly, though innocently, ignorant of the disease claim it, or allow any little prick with an attitude to use it as a crutch.

Now that I'm done bitching,... F#ck you RDA, F#ck you long and hard.

Im not sure if i should, but i feel like i should apologize.
Not sure why.
Sorry.

@ 83 I'm not insensitive but really, this is not the place for hurt feelings. Wear a cup.
@72 Taking you on your word: July is the hottest month. August is fall already, the highs right now are 50 ish F. Had a little snow a few days ago, burned right off. I am 150 miles E of Nome in the middle of the Alaska bush so you can't really go by my weather. Los Anchorage is 5-10 degrees warmer right now.
And now here's Ollie Williams with sports...

@70, you mean like:

The Lions SUCK!

@83 WAAA!!!

No, don't worry, you're fine. It's not you, but everyone. I hear it on campus, on the radio and TV. Being Bi-polar has become en-vogue and it bothers me. If most of these cats that talk about it or say "sorry about my bi-polar" every time their temper flares spent a week living with an actual case of this sh!t, they'd... I don't know what, but I'd love to see it.

Also... F#CK you RDA you little sh!t, make a friend and learn how to contribute to society.

@88
well yeah but... OH! Yeah, the heart cuke looks like a penis. Kinda.

@85 and 88

You're right, and there's a lot of things that could be talked about that won't bother me, like my tiny penis or inability to ejaculate unless somebody's in the room crying. But that's a touchy subject, just some peoples ignorance of it. Feel free to E-kick me in my saggy squash-shaped balls for being a bitch.

RDA, stop doing that.
We all know its you.
You aren't funny,
Clever.
Smart.
Or humorous in any way.

@89
Yeah, imagine being RDA what with people saying "That's so gay", like being gay is an insult. Props to RectalDogAnus for sucking it up and toughing it out lick a man.
Oops, I meant to say "lick a man". Damnit, I'm sorry (laughs), "LICK a man".

What did RDA do this time?

sorry guys, it's been fun but it's late for me and I'm gonna go watch Remo Williams (The Adventure Begins). Sadly, I'm not kidding. I'm out of movies.

OUT bitches!

Bye Jesus!
...
dont go...
....
iloveyou...

@95
Oh... Yeah... No, that really was me. He's not clever enough to call my balls saggy and squash-shaped. Ironic though, I bash myself and that little prick gets credit. I almost felt bad for him for a second, tried to be neutral towards him, but he makes it really easy to him

If only Pontius Pilate had felt that way

Making fun of yourself?
Wow, RDA, thats pathetic.

Ha! What the hell?To prove I'm not RDA I'm gonna not try to prove it.(Paradoxical?) Instead I'm gonna go drop a couple ambien (one perk of mental issues) and either sleep well or not at all.
F#ck you RDA, F#ck you long and hard.

COOL :)

Wow, I left work for a few minutes to hit the driving range that is open till 11:00 p.m. for a little night puttting with the deans daughter and this spills out.

Moo

Considering how horrendously douchebaggery RDA was, I know that these current posts are not him. So it begs the question, why in Gods name would someone want to be him. I understand it may feel good to "play" evil and stupid without the blame being entirely pointed in your direction, but you have to understand that we hold no less contempt for you than we hold for the real one. When are you going to get tired of it? People like you can only have so much fun playing Hitler. Grow some balls and put up a comment with your own tag.

THAT IS COOL.

Must See!!!

SmokingGirl, it is actually all your fault and I hope you take responsibility for your actions.

An article about cucumbers and FAH-Q and SG are late to the game... this is what happens, i get restless and start going off on people....

122 comments on cucumbers?? New post GW ...new post..

Simpsons already did it!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the square watermelon that homer buys when they go to japan. oh, what a wacky adventure!

(and yes I'm aware that it inflates to its regular shape)

here is a good song for those of you with youtube for the morning (I stopped telling GW about my 'news tips' since his articles can suck and I wonder what the hell is doing...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYodWEKCuGg

hey GFS (i know you are out there...) totally a deisel boy morning.... and lots of coffee....

How on earth did this post get 127 comments? Good god people. Go outside once in awhile.

@Ollie
We did some late night RDA bashing.... maybe he'll get his head on straight after that reaming...

common' gw. no more veggies for breakfast.

nom nom nom nom nom

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max caught a rabbit eating his breakfast cereal and called him silly.

@14

No, you fail. It's one giant city and Tokyo is king. It is effectively a suburb.

Every morning is a Dieselboy morning. KILL! KILL! KILL! Thank for the code monkey song. It was cute.

@ stompy

*huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug*
dont ask me why ... i just felt like it

So, am I the only person on this geeky website who knows that the word "comprised" should never be followed by the word "of?" Tries to learning ur grammarz, douchebags.

"Comprise has had an interesting history of sense development. In addition to its original senses, dating from the 15th century, “to include” and “to consist of” (The United States of America comprises 50 states), comprise has had since the late 18th century the meaning “to form or constitute” (Fifty states comprise the United States of America). SINCE THE LATE 19TH CENTURY it has also been used in passive constructions with a sense synonymous with that of one of its original meanings “to consist of, be composed of”: The United States of America is comprised of 50 states. These later uses are often criticized, but they occur with increasing frequency even in formal speech and writing."
