Curlygurly and I were just having a discussion about her potato badge and how she acquired it. Ever since winning that one ugly old spud, she has had an avalanche of potato's on her comment wall... A poxy arsed spud as her avatar, links to cookbooks with 1000 ways to cook a spud, any kind of picture of a spud you can think of, CG has seen..
May I suggest that a different root be given as an encouragement award for any future competitions? The winner gets a unique badge, and the entertainment value of these root vegetables for the winner and his/her friends is immeasurable. Hours and hours of searching for funny looking vegetables on tumblr, , google, looking for pictures and gifs. Hell, I think CG's spud even encouraged a few friend requests between potato lovers.
I think the next root should be the humble Turnip. I think it's worthy. What do you think?
