While I was browsing the aisles of a used book store last Friday, my gaze fell upon the spine pictured above. With no disrespect to the author, I hope I may be forgiven for interpreting the title as Onions: Bearers of Meaning and believing for a moment that the book was really about the semantic potential of this indispensable vegetable. For no reason noble or worthwhile, I decided to devise a few titles for possible sequels to Onions: Bearers of Meaning. Here they are:
Shallots: Capsules of Signification
Pumpkins: Vessels of Erudition
Lima Beans: Agents of Reference
Eggplants: Envoys of Intellection
Potatoes: Canisters of Qualia
Brussels Sprouts: Vectors of Logicality
Peas: Pellets of Gravitas
Tomatoes: Conduits of Intention
Artichokes: Impresarios of Allusion
Radishes: Couriers of Denotation
Avocados: Vehicles of Symbolization
Carrots: Utensils of Argument
Parsnips: Virtuosos of Ratiocination
Cannellini Beans: Custodians of Discernment
Yams: Emissaries of Reason
