A Love That Will Never Wilt

July 7, 2010

The last time one of Reading’s racing vegetables appeared on this blog was when Cauliflower endured a humbling clothesline takedown courtesy of Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Cauliflower is a fighter, but his equally nutritious compatriot Broccoli is a lover. On Saturday, this flowery green romantic sprinted into the stands immediately after winning that night’s Vegetable Race. He made a beeline for one special lady, in order to express his love eternal:

I am not one to use the word “adorable” very often. But, seriously, these pictures are adorable:

Broccoli is in fact R-Phils client relationship manager Jon Muldowney, who went Muldowney on one knee in order to propose to Ms. Michelle Reffner. She said yes despite his overt “stalk”er tendencies.

Meanwhile, the R-Phils are currently preparing for Sunday’s tribute to the inimitable Crazy Hot Dog Vendor.

The team will take the field wearing these uniforms, which just might be the most ridiculous theme jerseys of the 2010 season.

I seem to have misplaced my information regarding who the above players are,
but, nonetheless, they are players. They are also television stars:

I am worried that I may be neglecting other stories in the field of vegetable betrothal and vertically-striped theme jersey celebrations. Please get in touch with info pertaining to these subjects, as well as info pertaining to just about anything else. I want it all.
