awwww Kaili..you're spoiling my fun :). I wanted to find out that all Texans were long lost Canadians or some such

and as for eggplants..well Ms Square is known for her love of all things aubergine in colour..and according to my dictionary an aubergine is a synonym for an eggplant!

but seriously, thanks for clearing that up. All these seemingly strange things always seem to end up being based on just simple facts , don't they.

I don't know if that's why it's carrots or not, that's just my guess. I don't wanna ruin anyone's fun! Are you sure Canadians aren't long lost Texans (so long lost that the accent is gone)? Maybe there was a disoriented cattel train at some point! :) And they were ransporting cucumbers for pickling. Yeah. Ummmm. I'm trying to come up with an explanation for this one but it's just not happening :) I'm going back to finding excuses for my evil-ness now... (and does ruining people's fun in another thread give me extra evil points, BTW???)

So I'm the only carrot person in TVCH? And here I was thinking I was kind of an original thought kind of person!

Nope Whoami, I thought carrot, too. Which annoys me to no end, because I hate being normal.

huh! I thought of tomato also even though it's a fruit. Didn't think of a second guess.

Daydreamer, Jan wants to know if you have ever lived in Texas or Canada or if you have family in either place

i thought of a cucumber too, when i first got this in an email. i am from missouri, so that throws the canadian texan theory all to hell.

i have a similar game that i will post in here too. of course i was different in it, too.

I thought of pea for the first one. The second one is making me LOL, but what came to my mind was "red axe"! But, i swear, i'm really not an axe murderer!

Okay, here is my theory on The Carrot/Cucumber answer, be forewarned it is "R" rated. I think the answer lies in the number 6 you have to say very fast for 15 seconds...what does 6 sound like, very fast for 15 seconds? I say S*X, use an e not an i. Then you think of all the dirty little stories you've heard about these long vegetables and Boom, you get your answer. Of course eggplant would also fall into this category. The 2%ers are the Tomato folks, they've never heard a dirty joke or story about carrots/cucumbers. They are clearly the innocent ones. Myself, I went w/ carrot, I'm 34% evil.
The second one I came up with Red Wrench, I've no theory on that one but I am staying away from Mak.

Blue wrench. It was brown for a split second then I changed before I got to the part that said what people pick. I guess I'm a weird-o again. Oh, and I don't have a theory for the tool one.

Well it's good to know GAL falls into some rationalization of normal. She is now swinging a BIG RED HAMMER

On the first one I picked a zuchinni. I see alot of people thought cucumber- and I think that is the picture i had in my mind.
For the 2nd one- I have done it before- but I thought of blue- then red wrench.
