“Roma tomatoes” should be officially admitted as a new SDMB catchphrase.
You make a silly comment, get called on it, but don’t want to retract it. What do you do? You link to a website (or get your friend to do so - or both) that shows that the offending word has a different meaning. The very same meaning as the one in which you used it before. Naturally.
For the record, I love roma tomatoes. I’ve been known to eat them just like an apple.
So you don’t eat the roma’s core? Or do you eat an apple’s?
I’m not sure which mental image is stranger.
I, for one, grow them in my garden. Then when they are almost overripe and kinda soft, I like to smear them all over my naked body.
[sub]OK, not really. But I bet you’re not thinking about apple cores![/sub] 
I hold them in my hand and bite into them as one would an apple. But as romas have no core, I eat the entire thing. Well, except for that little bitty part of the stem.
I eat the core of the apple.
It’s not every day you see a train wrack turn into a fruit discussion.
Wreck, goddammit. :smack:
Actually, usually that’s how the train wrecks begin around here.

You don’t read the gay rights threads then, I take it?
Sigh. Damn it, Matt. It’s not often I get to play off a straight line like that and you had to beat me to the punch.
Fruit aside Ilsa, how you feel about your pitting me now, seeing as Kaitlyn’s posts have all been exposed as a house of lies thatched with a roof of bullshit?
Oddly enough, I am impressed by that metaphor…
At any rate, the veracity of Kaitlyn’s story has no direct bearing on this Pitting. Whether or not Kaitlyn is a gay/straight/white/Korean/agnostic/Jewish/transsexual doesn’t change the fact that you are a dumbass. You must really enjoy getting your ass kicked.
You may have heard them called “plum tomatoes”
That’s all I have to add.
Carry on.
Well, other than a couple of your buddies showing up to attempt a pile on, I really don’t see how paul got his ass kicked. Nor handed to him on a platter. Nor any other cute phrase you want to choose.
Dude, your pit rant just turned into a rather civil, amusing discussion of home gardening. It’s become so weak that it doesn’t even warrant a pitting of you for starting it. Let it go. My grandmother could raise more emotion from people and she’s been dead for 14 years.
I grew up in HELL! My grandmother has more attitude than you!
(IOW, I’m not trying to pretend there’s any substance left to this thread, I’m just amused that paulie keeps bumping it for another bite at the apple.)
Wow! I have been lurking for a short while now and found this thread not long after finding the “Get your Facts Straight…” and then reading of the sudden changes in the circumstances surrounding the Kaitlyn discussion and the banning thereof. Now I’m curious as to the direction this little run of inane head-bashing will turn. Please, make peace and move on. Sorry for the intrusion.
I can help you out – I have something of a “seventh sense” which allows me to see into the recent past of message board threads. (This power of mine is also known as “literacy” and, despite what some skeptics say, has been scientifically proven.) This little run of inane head-bashing will turn into a detailed but dull discussion of the existence of roma and plum varieties of tomatoes and the relative difficulty of growing tomatoes in different parts of Europe. duffer and Guin will take a moment to offend people with ADHD with a funny joke, and then paul will come back and claim Kaitlyn’s lies vindicate his behavior, but no one will believe him because he is a dumbass. Then you’ll come along and respond to an OP from three days ago. It gets a little hazy after that – I’ll be able to tell you more in a little while.
Not sure about Guin, but I actually am ADD so I expect the jokes to end pretty soo…ooh, lint!
Don’t forget the part about people in persistent vegetative states!
