fruit elimination game: IT ENDS (sort of)
Some of you may remember this from about 3 years ago
http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=24064.0
But since we have some different people now, I figure it's time for a REMATCH. YEAAAAHHH
RULES:
1. you can vote once per day
2. you vote by subtracting a point from one fruit and adding the point to another.
3. when a fruit has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again

aaaaaaaand go!
I love peaches, but I haven't had a good peach in years. All of NZ's good ones must be sent overseas, coz we never see em. :(
The first time I tried an avocado I thought it tasted like crayons (not that I was a big muncher on those, but y'know). A couple of years later, I learned better.
Anyway, I think these two fruits don't need my votes, so I've been voting for mah underdog favourites. :P
GEEZE WAY TO GET MAD AT ME AGAIN.
I'm counting days by when I go to sleep. UNLESS IT MAKES AC FREAK OUT AND KICK ME OUT OF THE GAME.
I think we should nullify Sarah's last vote and then someone should quickly vote pears out. >:D
hehehe. well, we can appeal to anyone who hasn't voted yet today, or do it quickly tomorrow morning (that's for you, bgs)
i believe i shall have two tactics:
- vote down stuff with low numbers already
- vote down stuff i've never tried (which is quite a bit... quince, tamarillo, feijoa, mulberry, huckleberry, gooseberry, starfruit)
i remember the last time we did this, the in-season fruits were being voted for and the out of season fruit lost quickly. Same thing happening here. TOO BAD PEARS ARE AWESOME, FAGGOTS. See also: peaches are good, but they should not have more votes than mangoes, by any means.
I think that was some of my voting. I was remembering picking peaches that fell when barely touched. Anything that ripe and fresh picked is going to be good (except durians).
well us underside of the world peoples should hopefully balance some of this out.
AND I can't believe persimmon is out already. I have only just discovered them and the ARE AWESOME!!
And onto the vote (it's too hard - there's too too many! and I haven't heard of/tried a few of them)

I hear that about starfruit. I think I might have actually tried it once, but I can't remember how it tasted... maybe that's because it tasted like nothing?
yep, I was totally disappointed because being so pretty it promised so much. I can't even remember when I tried it, but just remember it didn't taste.
and unfortunately, that doesn't mean ugly fruits are delicious.

Yes! Quick, someone vote for Mango because there is no way it should be tied with peaches! ^-^
um what PEACHES R AWESOME
First:
http://rachelblack.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/peaches.jpg
Note how peaches look awesome.
http://www.farine.us/Quickstart/ImageLib/fruit-Peach_white.jpg
also note the white peach, which is not to be underestimated.
Peaches can also come as a "free stone" variety, which makes them easier to eat.

also note the donut peach, which makes peach consumption even easier.
And think of all these wonderful peach products:
peach pie
peach cobbler
peach everything.
the word "peachy" itself, and also the slang of calling someone/something "a peach"
Also, peaches have an asscrack. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?
AND, peach pits contain cyanide. That is one bad-ass fruit.
ALSO, look at its entry on urban dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peach
it shares this distinction of being a vagina euphemism with other inarguably tasty foods: tacos & pupusas.
finally, how can you say no to this?
http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/pics/8/3000/how-to-draw-a-peach-chibi.jpg
:-D You have convinced me not to go on a peach vendetta, lol! I do like the idea of a fruit with an asscrack and potential poisoning abilities. ^-^
