and, being from the South, that is not a good thing

It just looks too much like the pods from Invasion of the body Snatchers - slime and all - to me

I have never even SEEN Okra. Let alone eaten it. It sounds suspect.

I am...Okra.

I hate grits....

GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Your highest aim is to be with others like
yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits.
You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a
club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon,
butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they
have all these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.

You can't be serious, can you? I thought all southerners were raised on the ****.

They tried, but I fought it.

Fried Okra is not THAT bad, but fries are way better for the cost of grease

Are we two Okras in a pod ?

So do they come in a pod ? Grow on a tree ?

Are they roots ?

What the hell are they ?

They sell fried okra out of the Target deli, and every time we go grocery shopping, I have to stop and get some for us to snack on throught the store. My grandmother and aunt in Tennessee grow it, freeze it, and then it's sent up to me with mom when she drives down there. YUMMY!!! Bring it!

Okra (also known as gumbo), is a tall-growing, warm-season, annual vegetable from the same family as hollyhock, rose of Sharon and hibiscus. The immature pods are used for soups, canning and stews or as a fried or boiled vegetable. The hibiscus like flowers and upright plant (3 to 6 feet or more in height) have ornamental value for backyard gardens.

It looks like a jalapeno!

Thanks for this. I never knew what it looked like.

Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You work and
play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear
surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay
away from Moon Pies.

This is suprisingly accurate!

Especially the part about moon pies...

That's not me at all.

Same here. It doesn't really fit me either.
