The Vegetable Liberation Army is proud to present three new recruits to the HMRU: Placido Haricot Vert, his brother Jose Haricot Vert and Luciano Vert Pomme!
Having retired from Vegetable Service some years ago, famed Vegetable Songsters Placido, Jose and Luciano were a bit dazed and confused upon arrival at VLA Headquarters (maybe it was the polka dot chair pictured above that contributed to their condition) after having been briefed regarding the nature of their enlistment by base Kommander Killer Korn. Afterall, the Beet at the recruitment office told them that if they reenlisted they'd only have to entertain the troops in between missions this time 'round. Duped but not done in by this news, these Green Commandos dusted themselves off from their journey and have resigned themselves to the task at hand. Soon these Legume Lads will begin training and as a result will most likely lose those extra fibers around their guts that civilian life and an on again off again career in show business has imposed.
Pilgrim Tater is very excited about these new additions to the Holiday Meal Recovery Unit. Not only are these Legumes highly trained Veggie Vigilantes (once a soldier, always a soldier), but when not on a mission this Legume Legion hopes to make a little money on the side by moonlighting at the local clubs and bars in order to show off their vocal stylings with a variety of tunes that range from oldies such as Fly Me to the Moon to Mozart's fabulous The Marriage of Figaro, yes, in it's entirety.
Having recovered fully from their initial shock, the Legume Laddies are anxious to begin the Fruit and Vegetable life-saving efforts this holiday season is sure to foist upon them. The entire VLA is positive that these Green Grenades of Pure Veggie Power (both on and off the stage) will put forth 100% effort in order to make the world a safer place for all Vegetable Matter.

Yep, I think it's time for some Autumn-hued camo too...

How you make them technically so perfect and yet so full of character beats me. The middle one in the top photo is wonderful - real attitude. Can't imagine it going into boiling water without a fight.
OOORAH!
I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I think it's the mustaches that do it for me. Or the green-tinged eyes. Or the hot pink lips.
I love 'em!
All your veggies are great! The green of the eyes is perfect with the big one in the middle bursting open as it does.
You have this vegetarian falling off her chair in hysterical laughter. Hee.
I adore them, you wildly demented woman!
Well, colour me inspired!
Oh me, Autum-hued camo. Now that would be very interesting to see. I am imagining all those little shirts, flak jackets, etc. You have such a way with describing things, it takes me right there in the midst of it all. It's an ongoing mini-series. And one well worth watching.
:)
ROFL @ pea-nesses!
Wow, you turn out some really great stuff. And so quickly, I amazed.
Peanesses...Lori you are too funny. And disturbing. But I love ya.
To Our Lady of Lino!
Love those pea pods! Just having spent a few too many days in Bakersfield, I'm slightly tired of ol' peapickers, but your perfect peas are really classy!
I'm back in L.A. and will be at the WeHo SnB this Thursday! I wish I could start making crocheted art like you instead of all those damn hats!
Hilarious! And they so blend in with the gourds! You are so amazing.
Super cute!
Just wondering if you'd seen this:

It kind of reminded me of you.
regina, girl you rock, i love your thanksgiving army LOL, you have such a imagination, you really should submit them to publication, maybe they could do a whole book dedicated to fruits and veggies, kind of reminds me of the stuff that was made in the early 80's but yours has way more personality and class. i bow to you LOL
Okay, these are my favorites since the lemons. Love those mustaches! I really think the world needs more mustachioed good guys. I second the book idea!
I am always amazed by your creativity! These new additions are adorable!
My husband wants to know why I don't crochet monsters...I think he has turned into your biggest fan. He doesn't even blink an eye at my crochet stuff, but when I show him your he say, "WOW!" I love the new additions. :)
I love all the veggies... but could we please please please have an eggplant member of the Vegetable Liberation Army?
