Drawing With Ketchup

I've been reading with some interest that some of y'all have been trying to draw cabinets and such with Ketchup, so I decided to try it for myself

I found it to be messy and difficult to use for this purpose. Some customers have also complained that the drawings attracted ants.

The good news is that it is a very Green way of making drawings (even though they come out Red, which is counterintuitive).

I see that some of my Red State bretheren have become staunch defenders of this technique, which is understandable, since a previous Republican administration thought so highly of Ketchup as to include it in one of the food groups. I'm not sure what they thought about it as a drawing tool.

It seems that the Dutch-Canadian contingent has firmly rejected Ketchup, saying that it is not a CAD program, which everyone knows anyway. What we don't know is whether it is a fruit or a vegetable. This is perfectly understandable as Canada is too cold to grow vegetables, so this is obviously a geo-cultural problem that will be eliminated soon with the advent of global warming.

Then Al Gore will be able to say that he predicted that Ketchup would take over the global market as a drawing tool long before anyone else.

That being said, I'm confident that we will all be drawing with Ketchup in the near future because none of us will be able to afford $2000.00 a seat for AutoCAD, or even the lesser cost of its mildly retarded cousin - TurboCAD.

Yessir, Ketchup will be the real deal then, especially when the bailout for the tomato growing agri biz giants gets through congress.

I'll be checking back in then and I'm sure we'll all be arguing the relative benefits of the individual brands of Ketchup.

I'm a Heinz man, myself.

relationship to the Ketchup Drafting program.)

Heinz was established in Canada in 1908 in a former tobacco factory in Leamington, Ontario (Tomato Capital of Canada). Most products shipped from Leamington have English and French labels for distribution throughout Canada but a substantial amount of product is sent to the United States. Ketchup is the main product produced there but the factory also produces Canada Fancy (Grade A) tomato juice, mustard, vinegar, pickles, baby food, BBQ sauces, canned pastas, beans, pasta sauces, gravies and soups. Heinz Canada is also the major supplier of single serving and flexible packaging condiments for most fast food chains in Canada. Leamington is the largest tomato processing region per acreage in the world. The Leamington plant usually processes more than 250,000 tons of tomatos per year. With its unique combination of climate and rich soil, Leamington is one of the best areas for growing vegetables in the world. Heinz Canada also has operations in St.Mary's, Ontario, Calgary, Alberta and Montreal, Quebec.

Let's see now, there is a major tomato processing operation in Leamington and one of the major asparagus growing areas in North America is just outside Peterborough, the other ones being in Michigan and California.

The engineer who developed single serving packets of catsup came from there.

Used his bonus to buy a very neat 43 ft ketch which he kept in the Leamington harbor.

Anything below 60F is no longer fit for human habitation.

Spoken like a true southern Californian. BTW: I see that the weather forecast for your area has a high of 60F for tomorrow. You may want to get out your down parka.

Actually an Ohio escapee for the last 20 years.

Still have my down filled parka, just in case, but these days don't even think about going outdoors until the temps hit 70F.

Life is to short to be uncomfortable.

I can't recall Gilda Radner's character from whom you may have borrowed the idea for your funny as hell - as usual - post. Gilda must be getting a chuckle from your use of that characters mis-hearing.

Once again - well done sir.

As I was chuckling through Tom's post, I have to admit, I was thinking exactly the same thing. :^)

Of course Heinz was founded in 1869 in Sharpsburg, 3 miles from my house, and 2 blocks from where my father grew up. If a restaurant doesn't have Heinz Ketchup, then the rest of their food is likely to suck as well.

In other words, Heinz makes the AutoCad of ketchup...

CatSup just don't cut it...

Not even sure CatSup is a food...

Catsup is made from asparagus? No wonder I wasn't sure Catsup was a food...

Nothing wrong with asparagus mind you, just doesn't make a very good ketchup...

Creamed asparagus on toast... OK, creamed asparagus on a hot dog... Well, I wouldn't waste my time trying it, but Yuck anyway...

Oh boy - The Catsup Advisory Board is going to be on your ass now!

If you think The Cabal is scary ...
