I know I said that I wouldn’t, but. . .
How could I resist this?
While the Sugar Beet Baron was cleaning the digger (some Baron, no minions cleaning for him) - I asked him:
“Uhh - could you pass me that beet stuck there that looks like it has two legs so I can take a picture of it?”
So here it is. It’s not that unusual - but if you’re not familiar with sugarbeets - now you are.
Here’s what they should look like:

That is pretty cool! You should save it and see how it shrivels up. When the kids were in grade school, one of their fall projects was carving and decorating a sugar beet, and watching as they took on new characteristics as the moisture evaporated from them. Quite fun. Linn

Gee…and I thought this was a family-friendly blog. ;=) (Seems to be a bit of cellulite on that beet.)
A guy is seeing his analyst and, while taking the Rorschach test, gave obscene answers for every single ink blot. When the shrink told him he seemd to have a “sex fixation,” the guy shot back, “What are you talking about, Doc? You’re the guy with all the dirty pictures.”

That sugar beet does look rather exposed!

Obviously a suger beet from a bad back ground. Exhibits very poor breeding. Not much decorum, either. bonnie

Pretty cool shaped. My boys were very interested in what it was.

Linn - it went back in the digger.
Kirk - qeowk - so when are you coming North again?
Babs - My thoughts exactly.
ZG - Or maybe it came from the UFO in my photo from the hills.
Bonnie - You are too funny!
Mike - You are nuts - keep maintaining that sense of humor.
Kim - Can I show you my rocks ;0)
Shelly - Boys!
