Greenery

Little add-on game I guess I'll try. This could bomb big time - but... I have to be okay with that. I'm gonna list three green veggies, and your job is to rank them as you like them from best-to-worst, and then ADD ON two more green vegetables that are missing from the list - and then everyone has to re-rank again, adding ones we didn't have before. Now, by "green vegetables", what I mean are: vegetables that are COLORED GREEN.

Example:

turnip greens - green vegetable (they're green)
turnips - not green vegetables (they're some shade of off-white or sometimes yellow)

So carrots, rutabagas, squash - out, out, out. Green onions - in. Most other onions - out.

Get it? We'll see how many we can get to -- and see who likes what and who hates what -- before our heads explode. Or we get bored, which may have already happened for some of you. Sorry, if that's the case. Nonetheless...

This game sort of fits in with The Realm's current golf-putting-green decor. I know what you're thinking, and I'm thinking the same thing: STUPID COMPUTER GAME!!! At least you didn't wake up thinking that you'd see this stupid computer game here at The Realm of Possibility. Certainly, you may have thought you might see some variation of a stupid computer game as we've had lots of those... but this one? Never!!! Still, you have to play, because Mommie always told you:

EAT YOUR GREEN VEGETABLES!!!

List start - fav to least fav:

1) collard greens
2) green beans
3) green onions

Start adding green veggies!!!

Bonus points for oddest post of the day.

Make mine artichokes at the top of the list and brocolli at #2.

Okay, adding Kevin's two and then if I add two more, spinach and cabbage, my list read as thus:

1) collard greens
2) brocolli (with butter and salt)
3) artichokes
4) green beans
5) spinach
6) cabbage
7) green onions

How did artichoke fall to the middle of the list, when it's clearly the greatest single contribution to human joy of the entire vegetable kingdom?

I'm glad spinach made the cut.

Kevin,
I do love the choke but being a Southern raised Okie Okra is the clear winner.

1) okra
2) collard greens
3) turnip greens
4) brocolli (with butter and salt)
5) artichokes
6) asparagus
7) green beans
8) sweet peas
9) spinach
10) zucchini
11) cabbage
12) lima beans
13) bell pepper
14) brussel sprouts
15) green onions

Somehow, this has all gone wrong. Each person should have what was on the person's list directly before them. I've tried to include all that was on Millie's list and then ones Ken added. Then, I just added zucchini and peas. I would have liked to add fried green tomatoes, but I would promptly be told tomatoes are fruits... so I held back.

Kevin,

The list is your list. You rank them each time -- and then add two more. Artichokes, I take it, would be at the top of your list.
