I once sat and wondered what the real purpose is in limes.They're green, and really are the Lemon's cheap sidekick. I say destroy the lime! Liberate the world of this pointless fruit!

Apparently a squirt of lime goes nicely with ginger beer.

Tis a myth! Nothing more!

Who's disrespecting limes?

Limes stop us from getting scurvy on long sea-going voyages!

Limes are of a weight and shape that allow even the weakest person to throw them hard at any robbers and cutthroats who might break into their home.

... and they're green, the color of nature! To hate limes is to hate nature!

Limes pwn!

Oh man - and if limes only served to make Caipirinha, that's a good enough reason to have'em around!

Apparently, you've never had caipis?

They're gooood!!! (But dangerous :D:D:D)

(Wow, I just realized that I now have 1k of posts: 1024 - yay!)

They distract from the watered down stale piss flavor of Corona.

Without limes, we wouldn't have a name for this color:

Similarly, oranges are also necessary for language purposes.

I love limes. I love the flavor.

I love limes in Corona or SanPelligrino mineral water.

I squeeze lime juice over apple slices to prevent them from turning brown

I love limes, I do, Sam I am.

I lOve limes on green eggs and ham.

I love limes in Coronas. I love them on a tree.

I love limes in Margaritas, whether one or two or three!

I love limes in a bottle. I love them - key lime pie!

You say you don't love limes. I have to ask you "why?"

Limes are the RoXXoRz PWN!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

Too many words. "Lime" is more efficient; one word, four characters.

Information is a commodity, you know.

Screw limes! I'll join Carops on his inquisition of the lime! Oh wait, they're right, limes do fit in perfectly with a variety of alcoholic drinks, and since I am an alcoholic... damn.

Ok! Screw those random fruits on those random plants in the canyon in my backyard! They only serve to stain your clothing when you're trying to cross it to go to the movies! And the stain looks and acts like bleach! I will join Carops on the holy inquisition on those random fruits!

I have but one thing to say to you: "Key lime pie". If you hate that, you need to get off the internet, now. Anyone who does is not worthy!

If you've not tried it, I demand that you steal a boat, and sail down to Key West, go to the Key Lime Shop, and buy yourself a frozen Key Lime Pie on a stick (covered in chocolate for $3.50).

Lemon Country News
There have been reports of lemons lynching several limes in the past days. It seems as if soon enough Lemon Country will soon begin the slow, but methodical, extermination of the lime race.

We lime-lovers will sooo kick your lemon asses and then celebrate with caipirinhas!

Blasphemer! That's our fighting lime maskot FYI! :D

I love limes they are great!

Only two words are needed to explain why the lime has a purpose: Lemon Margarita. If you have never had a lemon margarita, don't. No, the lime can be used as a poor substitute for a lemon, but the lemon should not be used as a substitute for a lime.

Never have and - thanks to you! - never will!!!

I once sat and wondered what the real purpose is in limes.They're green, and really are the Lemon's cheap sidekick. I say destroy the lime! Liberate the world of this pointless fruit!
Nooo! I love lime juice

Nooo! I love lime juice

*slaps Super-power* What the hell is lime juice!? Right now I'm having a nice fresh glass of lemon juice, and I'm enjoying it.

Limes killed my father and raped my mother...I propose that we fine lime growers infinity billion dollars!

It's actually from the Family Guy where Peter goes to Washington, but I replaced cigarettes with limes. :p

No we can't. If this thread demonstrates anything, Its that our two ways of life cannot mix and that anyone who tries to do will perish when the day of judgement comes.

Seven times.

Obviously, you have never had tequila lime shrimp. Oh, you know not what you are missing.
Oh, limes are sweeter than lemons and are good in plain soda or seltzer water.

Limes saved the English Navy from scurvy and that's why the English are called Limies. (Lim-ez)

To paraphrase someone else from this thread: anyone who hates key lime pie loses 10 respect points. (and for that matter, lemon cream pie, too)

On another note: I'm getting thirsty for some limeade... mmm...

Limes are not pointless. As you said yourself, they are the lemons cheap sidekick. This way they give our poorer fellow human beings a chance to endulge themselves in the taste of the delicacy of lemons that we, the rich folks, are so accustomed to. This way, they too can have a try at what it's like to be rich and strive harder to become one of the rich as well, stimulating our economy with their extra effort. With the yellow color of the lemon as a status symbol, we all work hard to get or keep it in our fruit bowl. Destroying the lime is like destroying our economic growth.

That was me. And it's looking like I need to start the Lime Coalition Forces. Who's with me? We shall defend limes against this terrible attempt at genocide by the Lemonites, and force them to realize that Limes and Lemons can and indeed, must coexist!

NO! NO QUARTER FOR THE LEMON BASTARDS! YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO THE CAUSE! GREEN IS THE COLOR OF FREEDOM! WE SHALL FIGHT UNTIL THE END!

To overthrow the evil acidic world of lemons. Its true they may be smaller and less assuming, but their size and colour is cleverly deceptive. For anything a lemon can do a lime can do better. Yes, it can, no it can't, yes it can....yes it can. Because when life throws you a lemon you throw it back.

It's to fill out the smooth name lemon, lime and bitters.

NO! NO QUARTER FOR THE LEMON BASTARDS! YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO THE CAUSE! GREEN IS THE COLOR OF FREEDOM! WE SHALL FIGHT UNTIL THE END!

You dare call me a traitor? The founder of the movement? How bold, and dangerous!

All Lemonites must be purged, yes, but the lemons themselves will once more peacefully co-exist after the war.

Your movement is fallen Drache! *maniacal laughing* And while your troops bicker, our glorious armies will overthrow the Limeist heresy and restore lemons to their position at the head of creation! *begins lemon ritual*

Oh and as founder of the Lemonite cause, I declare this week to be "International Anti-Lime Week" and hence we shall endeavour to purge the earth of their evil and those who worship them

mwhahahah when the day arrives i shall stay evily on the fence while the juice of many is ruthlessly squished an aftreward selebrate in a rahter refershing juice drink with loads of t/k.... an get completely mashed!!!

This is blasphemy towards the wonderful creation of Key Lime Pie...and you shall suffer greatly for your insolence!

Have at thee!

No, no peace. Only unconditional surrender of lemon-kind can bring an end to the conflict.

In the words of many a politican and leader "We will never surrender!"
*fires gun in air in a generally "macho" manner and sets fire to limes*

Limes float. If you're ever thrown into the ocean, grab some limes. ((thank you, Mitch Hedberg)) :)

Limes make tequila much more bearable. They also help you choke down the last few drops of Corona left in the bottom of the bottle.

Your movement is fallen Drache! *maniacal laughing* And while your troops bicker, our glorious armies will overthrow the Limeist heresy and restore lemons to their position at the head of creation! *begins lemon ritual*
You have no troops, might I point out? I have vicious, fanatical Limeists.

I thought as much.

Besides, we'd never have bothered to offer you a chance to surrender.

Valosia, it is the Lemonites who have corrupted the ways of the Lemons, once peaceful brethren of the Limes. It is with the Lemonites we quarrel.

I have two troops, each with large cans of plant-killer strapped to their persons, waiting for the time to strike the lime breeding grounds. Oh and in reference to your second point, It's just as well because we're not going to! Im warning you Drache, old boy, if you make a move I'm just gonna have to summon my Lemonite brothers and we'll go biblical on your heretical backside!

Strategically places lemons among the limes to act as huma...er...lemon shields. :)

I will rise up with the Lemonite against this Limish oppressive regime! Die Limes!

Limes are useless green inferior versions of lemons that defile the earth by their very presence.

Destroy them all and rehabilitate anyone who thinks differently...

Must've been all the time I spent wrestling in lime jello.

Lemons make lousy jello. :p

We care not as to your private antics. They only serve to condemn you on another level Golfballs! We've also got a crippling conservative "spanish-inquisition" style moral code that Jello wrestling violates in so many ways.

Yea! Down with lemonade. Up with lemon-limeade. Down with lemon meringue pie. Up with lemon-lime meringue pie. My wife makes it and it is great.

Lemon tree, lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet. But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. Peter, Paul and Mary song circa 1960's.

They distract from the watered down stale piss flavor of Corona.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK! YOU TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW! ~strokes bottle of Corona and says "it's ok sweety, the mean man didn't mean it"~

I like limes and lemons. What am I to do?

I like limes and lemons. What am I to do?
Do the right thing: join us under the lime banner and fight alongside General Lord
Drache and others for a common cause!

BTW, someone mentioned that limes are the cheap sidekick of the lemon - At least in Germany that is simply wrong.
Lemons are cheap, like the $5 hooker. Limes, on the other hand, are really expensive and more like the $10,000 escort lady.

And for all of you who think that the lemons will even stand a chance, I say this:

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the groceries, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our limes, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!

All hail the Great Lime! Down with the evil lemonites! Lemonjuice for the Lime God and Pulp for His Throne!

(BTW, corona will always taste like piss nomatter what you add until you substitute it with real beer!)

I have two troops, each with large cans of plant-killer strapped to their persons, waiting for the time to strike the lime breeding grounds.

Just two? I think I've 5, and I have no morals. So...civilian causalities are most certainly acceptable. Are you prepared to have the blood of the innocent on your hands, Carops?


Strategically places lemons among the limes to act as huma...er...lemon shields. :)

It is done. *I hold up a picture of Lemonites and Lemons bound together, encircling lime plants, shielding them from harm*

That's the spirit, German Nightmare!
Limes ueber alles! Keine uber alles Limes!

Limetten über alles! Nichts geht über Limetten! Nieder mit den Zitronen!

This one could go down into history as the Big Citric War - or the Lime Revolution:

NEWS FLASH

Picture taken this afternoon at the Citric front. These 5 brave limes have captured 2 evil lemons who were trying to sabotage and mutulate. Their trial will be held tonight.

Up the Lime I say! Fredom for Fruit! Citrus Rights!!

Oh and lime in chutney/salsa/curry=taste sensation
lemon in chutney/salsa/curry=vomit

If limes are worthless, what the hell are Yams?
Damn tasty! What's more they make a great potato cake, even more delicious with a squeeze of lime.

If we are going to fight the Lemonites we need a battle standard and some cool marching songs!!!
(sadly I have no ideas)

They make Corona taste good.

That seems to be all.

Only two words are needed to explain why the lime has a purpose: Lemon Margarita. If you have never had a lemon margarita, don't. No, the lime can be used as a poor substitute for a lemon, but the lemon should not be used as a substitute for a lime.

Aghhhhh!!!!
Squi! Hush your mouth! The mere mention of the awful concoction you named abouve should be a DOS offence.

(And anyone who says the lime is a cheap anything hasn't been shopping at any of my local supermarkets... :()

most of the time, anything a lemon can do, a lime can do better. the lime lends itself better to marinades, desserts, drinks, zest, you name it. the only thing that's better as lemon is lemon cake and lemonade. (never could get into the limeade thing, although limeade popsicles are divine)

there. i said it, and i feel better for having said it.

You can't make a Cuba Libre without lime.

Without the lime, we wouldn't have the saber-toothed lime.

You can't make a Cuba Libre without lime.
Sure you can. The whole lime thing is a variation that caught on, but all you really need for a Cuba libra is rum and Coke.

Really funny that in recent days not many (if any) Lemonites showed up... I bet they're up to something. Something yellowish!

somebody should make this into an issue. it would be funny

YOU TAKE THAT BACK! YOU TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW! ~strokes bottle of Corona and says "it's ok sweety, the mean man didn't mean it"~
Corona is pretty bad man. Negra Modelo is the best Mexican beer. Pacifico is a close runner up. Tecate and Modelo Especial are the cheap but solid standbys.

All of them taste better with a lime.

somebody should make this into an issue. it would be funny
I did. Hopefully it will get accepted and all of us can officially decide whether their nation will become a bunch of lemonites or limeists.
Keep your fingers crossed!!!
