my personal theory is that it has something to do with the contents of fassa's stomach when she ralphed on her shergold..

|  | Cat Noir | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Delawhere | | | The "carrots" poll option was started by founding TB member Eustus "Bugs Bunny" McClintock, a notorious curmudgeon from the DB forum. He was so nicknamed due to his significant overbite. Sadly, Eustus passed away due to a freak farming accident. But the carrots option will be his never ending legacy.

I'm not comfortable w/*carrots* being one of only two options- in my world, *carrots* needs to be totally unrelated to the original question/statement/topic; bacon vs carrots? That's like blond vs redhead or Asian chick vs insane chick- too similar & the beyond-obvious answer is of course both- I believe Maki will bear me out on at least the analogy.

I have come, over time, to understand the whole "carrots" mystery. That is, I know the answers, and can explain them in full detail. For a fee.
Henceforth (god I love using that word, it makes me feel regal), anyone wishing to know the answer - please have your credit cards ready and dial 1 800-CAR-ROTS. $2.00 for the first minute, $1.50 for any subsequent minutes.

But then again, I guess that people will prefer calling a 800 number before using a search function.
