Yes, it would make a great BUMper stick-her or t-shirt and it would literally crack me up. I'm sorry but I've got the most graphically twisted mind sometimes--and sometimes I don't know what I've said until it my mouth or my fingers emit the words or the phrase. Email me anytime. katenowak@msn.com.

Re: My green monsters--or gorilla food. I eat them as soups or smoothies just as a green sauce, i.e. for the 'taters you mentioned--potatoe/green sundaes anyone?
That's one option. Do you like noodles? I love them with rice noodles/pastas, or most grains, i.e. fragrant rices, millet, quinoa--whatever, including veggies high in sf. Chard is great. I love using rainbow chard!!! Or mixing chard/spinach. You can combine just about any veg. with the greens if it suits your mood. Green bean/spinach, asparagus/spinach (or chard), zucchini works too. I personally detest kale--even the smell of it makes me gag. If you ever cook it, you'll totally understand why (it smells like pork) and collards affect me as broccoli does. If you feel soupy, i.e. the need to use a spoon, just use less water or broth/stock. They're great for chapati or tortillas or with rice crackers, dumplings, even zucchini sticks and mushrooms--use you're imagination. Totally easy on the body, very gentle--i.e. smooth and creamy and blended like a smoothie. I add fresh herbs, etc. Greens cook really fast. It's so funny--I was eating it the other day and I thought, this stuff looks like paint! You can do it with most any colour. I've even eaten it with cream of white rice!
They're the kind of sauce that you can just eat and eat and eat more later. They're very versatile. Some non-vegans have used them as fish sauces/chicken sauces or swirled into egg white omelettles, souffles, etc. They go down really nice and easy and smooth with some sf. Sometimes you just need to spoon feed yourself. Often, though, I eat them with a fork--they're creamy and totally blended and velvety smooth--and sf of my choice. Usually I leave the sf separate, i.e. do not blend it with the green monsters but eat it with the green monsters. I've even eaten them with boiled plaintain or banana. Seriously! For potatoe, I would keep the green separate from the potatoe but eat them in the same nutrition break.

Rudely butting in 
A killer one for the obliques that I do on the ball is -- (now lets see if I can explain this well enough...) lie on the ball on your side with your feet on the floor, so you're kind of standing on the sides of your feet and your body is about at a 45 degree angle with your hip resting on the ball. Then you do crunches to the side - so you 'crunch' movement is like tilting to the side, targeting the obliques.
Oh I'm doing a horrible job of painting a picture here... so here's one I found on the web: http://www.netfit.co.uk/assets/abs_small_ok/121.jpg
I also do this at the gym on the hyperextension bench, usually with a weight or plate in my hand. Really feel that one in the obliques the next morning!
HTH!
