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.

    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?

  • magneticwheels

    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!

  • benw

    Baldrick approves.

  • irksome

    Vulgar and yet, disturbing.

    I for one welcome our castrata root vegetable overlords.

    Was Cory sent this item to, um, evaluate and review?

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

  • Cochituate

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

    For the Jewish one they parsnip the tip.
