Many years ago on my travels through China I had a lovely little tour guide who explained to me while visiting one of the many palaces that an Emperor had kept for himself "6 Cucumbers".
She looked quite taken aback when in response to this information... I burst out laughing....
At the time I thought the poor lass had in "bloken engrish" mistranslated "Cucumbers" for "Concubines".... On my explaining my reason for laughing she too understood what had caused my laughter and now giggling herself apologised making the correction to "6 Concubines"....
Bur after seeing this...Now I'm just not so sure...
I am not loving the carpte contrasting with the stripey furniture.
You'd think if he's inclined to shove a cue up his bum, he'd have better taste in decor.
At least the poor decor would be immediately recogniseable and would mean the guest could regretfully decline cucumber sandwiches or other salad on offer.
LX: Flashback to 1973 with all of those earth-tones.
Was it Avocado Green or Cucumber Green that was the colour of the decade?
THOMBEAU: Yes that is just the sort of image I would like to enlarge. Always so considerate!
It’s because I love you.

Don’t encourage this fellow (obviously it’s BEAST) to stuff six concubines OR six cucumbers up his nether passages.
MEAN DIRTY PIRATE: Looks like someone could use a bleaching. He should use a lemon next time.
Many of us are still reeling from your lemon anal bleaching debacle at the Infomaniac House of Beauty not to mention the Mean Dirty Pirate Leprosarium.
NATIONS: Yes, friends, that's an ENGLISH cucumber you see disappearing into that mans' lower intestinal tract. If anyone had any questions about WHY the Pilgrims came to America, well....yeah. There ya go. Dang.
History books must be rewritten to reflect this FACT.

Our Filthy Friday How Not To Decorate edition was published before you became an Infomaniac Bitch.
I suggest you click the link for even more décor madness.
SCARLET: well, it makes a change from the banana.
Perhaps Mr. Beastie has learned that a balanced diet must include more than just fruit.
DEEP BLUE: And I thought it was a zucchini! There goes the vichyssoise for tonight!
*translates for British Infomaniac Bitches*
He thought it was a courgette!
That’s right…the English may complain about the French but they’re happy to use the French language to describe their vegetables.
TB: Like DeepBlue I thought it was a zucchini. Either way I think that I'll be off veggies the next few days, except maybe french fries which don't count.
French fries or “chips” as they are known to the Brits.
And the Brits call their potato chips “crisps.”
Confused yet?
I could do an entire post on the differences between British and American/Canadian food words.
I'm confused. I see nothing filthy in this image. The furniture appears to be clean and serviceable; smartly arranged in a convention sort of way. Colors in the room are coordinated - no reading material tossed about or otherwise messy. The gentleman (I assume he is a gentleman as I have no idea who is) appears clean. The Italian cucumber inserted into his anus appears to be fresh. Although I wouldn't recommend adding that to any food served at a meal. It isn't filthy at all. Deviant, perhaps, but not filthy.
Roses: I had previously been unaware of the link between tasteful decor and a cucumber up the ass. It seems to me that this picture proves the exact opposite: people who stick cukes up their butt tend to have LOUSY taste in home design. And ugly carpeting. And unbleached hindquarteral regions. And TOO MUCH FREE TIME.
Ms. Smith-Standish: Obviously the gentleman, as you refer to our vegetable abusing subject, is FRENCH. There is nothing clean about THAT whatsoever. Hope I cleared this up for you.
What an honour that you took time out from your club work, lifelong learning programs, bridge club, charity work for the poor, and hobby of showing Corgis at Westminster to visit my little blog.

It would have been cleaner if he’d used a fork.
Which brings me to ask…
I should like to enquire as to which fork one should with English cukes?
p.s. Ms. Nations wishes to speak with you.

I’m suggesting we take a road trip to the Martha Stewart Show, sit in the audience, and ask her about the relation between tasteful décor and cukes up the arse.
If anyone would know, it’s MARTHA. (Stewart OR Smith-Standish!)
GEOFF: It looks fresh from his allotment. As for the cucumber...

Is it Alan Titchmarsh?
I think it is. I recognise his Chelsea display.

ReplyDeleteGreens are FABULOUS for colon cleansing!
ReplyDeleteSee?
ReplyDeleteThis is why I make my own salads & slaws...
If he’s making a salad, he could use a tomato.
ReplyDeletethose english cukes are fabulous
ReplyDeleteif you have crohn's. almost zero seeds!

But can you TOSS your own salad?

And tomato sauce if he breaks wind.

That takes the fun out of spitting the seeds at the photographer.
