“I used to be just another radish stuck in the ground,” says Swogworthy from his gracious 14-room summer home. “But then I had a root awakening. Plenty of vegetables lead exciting, high-profile lives. Just look at Paris Hilton. So why can’t I?”
An accomplished track-and-field athlete, Swogworthy trains for the Pan-European Greenhouse Games every day with his coach, Barkley “Doge” Yapperstein.
But it’s his relationship with wealthy heiress Betty Carotene that’s grabbed the most headlines. “There’s nothing going on,” he insists. “We’re just good friends.”

OOOOohhhh buuuuuurrn. *snort!*
The most interesting Radish in the world!
OMG! I can’t stand how silly/smart this is.
Yes! One anthropomorphic veggie is good, but then when we meet his ‘friend’ the carrot…perfect!
Yay! All the better because I didn’t remember these particular pictures (I sent Mike an email forward that my mom sent me a few weeks ago, but these weren’t the ones that stuck in my memory).
They must have come from the Cutetropolis Farmer’s Market.
So, how does it feel to be The “Sender-Inner of Mystery”? If you work even harder and travel around maybe you can be The “International Sender-Inner of Mystery”.
Um…I went to Canada when I was twelve. Does that count?
Yes, absolutely! Good sender-innering, Allein.
Wait, does this mean I have to start drinking Dos Equis? Cuz I really don’t like beer…
Remember the TV show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”? Clifton and Betty would have been perfect subjects. Although lots of TV is Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous now, I guess.
Hosted by Robin Leek? 😉
Also, earworm.
Robin Leek! That’s great!
Mike, another post with Clifton and Betty, interviewed by Robin Leek? You’re going to have to start doing original photography, maybe videos??
“Root awakening”!!!!!! NTMTOM, you slay me. Absolutely SLAY me.
Also: Paris Hilton!!!!!!! You win all the interwebs.
So much to love about this post, but the Paris Hilton line was my favorite. Betty Carotine was a close second!
Clifton and Betty give an all new meaning to vegging out.
That’s it, people. Pack up the internet. Mike has topped everything that has or can be posted.
I was helpless with laughter in my office when a coworker/friend walked by. Hopefully she too has now become a Cutetropolis devotee.
First photo looks like the Radish is recreating the Burt Reynolds Cosmo centerfold. 😀
Maru’s also got one of his own >:3

Maru: “I am not a salad!”
I love how he just can’t contain the tail.
Can’t believe that Mugumogo referred to a radish as “sexy” – too funny!
Is this video old? Is it new? How did I miss it?
Maru looked a little miffed to have company in HIS bowl.
It’s new! 😀
Then he tries to save face by gazing intently at something – most likely invisible – in the distance. I love the end, he’s all curled up but that one eye is wide open. He is nonplussed.
“Just look at Paris Hilton” – You are the BEST Mr. Cutetropolis!
Mike, I think this post should have come with a PG rating. I blushed.
?
“Rated PG-13, for thematic elements, including nudity and hot radish-on-carrot action.”
We can be assured no root vegetables were harmed in the filming of this post?
Oh my, Mike, you have topped yourself wit this one!!! Clifton and Betty are going to have a lot of company on the high-living vegetable circuit… the daily Entertainment No-news are full of them… 😀
