So for the next month, the plan for this blog is to go through a top 30 countdown, based partly on the numbers, partly on the significance of the post.
I chose Broccoflower first, since last night Neil said this is where it all started, #1000. Personally, I have never had broccoflower, I must confess, but now I am on the lookout…
Let’s keep Awesome going and growing! 🙂
About two years ago I noticed something funny as I flipped through a grocery store flyer. On the produce page was an ugly, green-looking cauliflower, with the caption “$2.99! Broccoflower!” It was hilarious. A green cauliflower labelled as a Broccoflower. The bizarre misfit child from two of nature’s most hideous vegetables. The best part is that people usually don’t believe me when I mention it and, to top it off, I’ve never seen it advertised since — like the mutant Broccoflower was shunned by society and has since flown home.
AWESOME!
1000 Awesome Friends 
If someone tried to bring this stuff home and make me eat it, I would move out. But who knew such a weird vegetable would be so significant?
I didn’t even know such a thing existed until I saw it on Neil’s. I still have yet to see one.
Ps… I have signed up for an account on wordpress using smilesareeverywhere@gmail.com I think that’s all you need to add me as a moderator. Feel free to email me too. I really want this thing to go on. I have a few questions, but I’ll ask later.
I was just thinking last night, to start a blog of 1000 things with… Broccoflower! I mean, how amazing is that! Probably I would have started with something trite like peanut butter, butterflies, etc.
Just goes to show to unique and creative is Neil. Doesn’t seem like something you could build an entire Awesome Movement on, but then again, that’s what happened. Very neat.
I’m so glad I keep going to #1 and scrolling through the comments or I wouldn’t have known everyone moved here. Awesome!
And let me add that just this morning I was wondering if people would keep in touch and how =)
I’m glad we finally found a way to do this too. I hope everyone comes on board.
I’m glad you’re here. It would be great to get the word out, so if you have any ideas on how to do that, awesome!
I’m here and I love this whole idea! And I also got the first post up at 1000awesomethings.wordpress.com! I am definitely on board; I do like me some awesome. 🙂
You mean http://1000moreawesomethings.wordpress.com/, yes I saw that, congrats. I think our start date for new content will be soon, maybe May 1, maybe before that. You’re welcome to contribute here to. Check the About page for more info! Let’s keep the awesomeness alive!
