Beet Girl saw Bat Man (1) hanging out in Greenwich Village once back in the 60's. He was with Bruce Wayne, if you know what I mean.
Huh?
Anyway, Beet Girl is not a Book Worm (2)
Go, figure.
Does anybody know where Miss Limpet (3) got her red threads?
Definitely Beet Girl style.
Oh yeah!

Birth of a Reckless Caped Crusader
As she released the beet from her hand, watching it arc through the air into the bed of his pick-up truck, she thought, for the first time, that she hoped there was no artwork or freshly-finished furniture there. She thought of the red stain her beet would leave and the potential damage it might do depending on the torque of her throw and the force of the hit.
Relieved to hear the sound of metal, not wood or something else, she sped off without looking back.
And so Beet Girl was born.
And so Beet Girl remains.
Fighting the patriarchy beet by bloody beautiful sweet beet.
Armed with her sass and her vegetable hand grenades.
She laughs into the wind and tries to remember
not to spit.
Rock on all my Lush Greens, BG
ps=Happy Birthday to my LLSP. 16.

Be Ever On the Look-Out
Beet Girl's getaway vehicles
include, but are not limited to, the following:
-- a small pick-up truck either gold or ahite
--an emerald green, woman's 3-speed Raleigh. Think Miss Almira Gulch (aka Wicked Witch of the West) on her bicycle.*
oh yes, sometimes she takes off on foot.
Whooooosh.
* The bicycle was recognized by nineteenth-century feminists and suffragists as a "freedom machine" for women. American Susan B. Anthony said in a New York World interview on February 2, 1896: "Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammelled womanhood." In the 1890s the bicycle craze led to a movement for so-called rational dress, which helped liberate women from corsets and ankle-length skirts and other restrictive garments, substituting the then-shocking bloomers.

Rule of BEET-iquette # 23
Rule of BEET-iquette #23
When offered a cup of coffee purchased for you by any animal, vegetable or mineral take said coffee, smile, say -- thank you. In addition you could say something to the beet of -- how kind of you to think of me. Now you are free to ask--is it milk or cream?
Upon discovering that said coffee has been sullied with milk, simply nod, take a few sips, maybe it will not be as unpleasant as you believe. Resume conversation.
Upon preparing to part from aforementioned animal, vegetable or mineral say -- i am going to get a cup of coffee for myself for the road. I prefer cream. Would you like the rest of this one? Again this would be an opportune time to say something to the beet of -- it was so nice of you to buy me a coffee. i am a picky coffee drinker!
Voila! You have come to the end of #23.
In Solidarity,
Beet Girl

Keep on Keeping On, We Must. Of Course Don't Get Me Wrong, Naps and Hanging Out Are Fully a Part of Keeping On
Scott Nearing (1883-1983) most definitely cultivated the beets. Literally and.
And I quote:
"It is our opportunity,
our destiny,
and our responsibility
to keep on
living, constructing,
creating.
We must live, not die.
We must not stop.
WE MUST GO ON."
From a broadsheet originally handset and printed at Bread and Puppet Press 1984
