Porny parsnip

According to some of the twitterers, there is something erotic about this parnsip. I can't see it, though.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I think I’ve met his mate- a particularly slutty looking dragon carrot.

Poor Bibendum.

He deserves better than having the grisly crime scene photos published after his rough-sex-play-gone-horribly-wrong death.

A little respect for a fallen legend, please, Cory?

cory, just relax your eyes and stare at it for a while. it’s like that duck-rabbit optical illusion, or one of those magic eye things.

looked at from one point of view it’s a man with malformed erection. from another it’s a woman with improbable sex toy.

both viewpoints are equally valid!

Some people get so darn crotch-ety about their parsnips.

Nice manscaping job. Still need to trim those last few hairs.

Maybe it’s the giant ingrown a$s-hair they find erotic? If I find anything similar this garden season BB will be the first to know!
