    You just took the ‘boo’ out of bamboo.

    My first thought was Cheech and Chong. Big Bambu. But they’re not made from bamboo.

    We don’t use cucumbers, we still have our humanity.

    The guy whistling as he prepares to shove bamboo under someone’s fingernails really struck me as hilarious.

    You can scream “RUTABAGA!” like Aku-Aku in the Crash games, and attain invincibility.

      And it’s a great word to yodel. Or to replace the “Hallelujahs” in the Hallelujah Chorus (but then so is “Coca-Cola”).

    Rutabagas are my Kryptonite… seriously…. they stink so badly that if you cook them in my house, I’ll pack up and move. I HATE RUTABAGAS! Ick! Ptoooey! nasty… nasty… nasty!

    Rutabagas are just big turnips. And rabbits LOVE turnips. You can entice rabbits with rutabagas, and they are also bigger, heavier, and solid-er than softballs, so you can do some serious damage with them if you’ve got a decent arm.

    So I disagree with your premise, here.

    Oh — also — I sometimes use a rutabaga as one of the root vegetables in my chicken soup, and my wife LOVES my chicken soup and is definitely enticed by it, and SHE’S cute, so there.

    Qued.

      But rabbits have more drag than softballs so they don’t fly as far when thrown.

        Actually, research has been done on the effects of thrown bunnoids on skulls. They have been found to even be capable of destroying giant robots![1]

      Your other root vegetable isn’t vodka, is it?

      😀

    Rutabagas are much more useful when filming crowd scenes.

    An interesting side note: bamboo has a ten-year dormancy cycle, at the end of which it grows insanely fast: if you catch it at the end of that period in a sufficiently wet and fertile area, you can actually stand and watch it grow. It remains one of the most surreal experiences I’ve ever had.

      There actually was a mythbuster episode where they tested the premise where you could torture and eventually kill someone by binding them to a floor/bed with a bamboo root underneath. It’d grow and eventually pierce through a human chest (at least the ballistic gel they used to simulate a human chest).

      I’ve heard of that, too.
      They said that if you were to go through with a machete (or whatever you cut it quickly with) and come back a few days later – it would look like you were never there.

    Some people might be able to out-gross you and actually enjoy the cucumber torture. Just saying.
