When I woke up today, I came across this cute little fellow waiting for me in the refrigerator:

He said his name was Ben. He seemed really nice, so he and I had a cup of coffee and got to know each other. We talked about the news, and Britney’s breakdown, and what games we like on the PlayStation:

Later, for lunch, we played a few hands of poker. He was pretty good. I think this hand was a full house. He ended up taking me to the cleaners:

As the day wore on, we had more and more fun. In the late afternoon, he wanted to go out and make snow angels, so I got my coat and gloves on and we went outside to play. He fell down in the snow and made his snow angels, and we laughed and laughed:

Finally, as the evening wore on, I chopped him up and made dinner. I was hungry, and he was, after all, a zucchini:

All in all, it was a pretty good day.

I think I could have come up with something better to do with him other than cook him. :o) If you get my drift!

I’m sorry, but Ben is now indisposed. He sure was tasty, though.

Man, you get mean when you lose at poker!

That’s nothing. You should see what happens when I lose at Go Fish. I still can’t eat lobster without a tear coming to my eye.

He deserved to be chopped up, if insisted on wearing that hat all day.

I just had his cousin for dinner.
Bad day for the zucchini family.

Remind to get clarification if you ever want to have me over for lunch. Its always good to know your place on the food chain.

I… I think you need a new hobby.

Pinhole: I tried to get him to take it off, but he told me he was having a bad stalk day. And he did say “Arrrr!” a lot.

believin: Was his cousin tasty too? I think it’s genetic.

BrentD: As long as you suck at poker, you’re welcome here anytime.

lis: What? You really think I should give up poker?

the home version of veggie tales eh? maybe this is where all veggies end up who don’t make the cast…

Not only that, but it explains why “Veggie Tales V: The Great Pepperoni” never made it to DVD.

Oh my god. Is that what happened to Jorgen? You cannibal!

I could never eat Jorgen. He runs too fast.
