Suddenly, A Dancing Radish

Or: A Wild Dancing Radish Appeared

Or: “You can’t catch me, I’m the Dancing Radish man”

Truth be told, there’s almost no way you can take a look at this bizarrely formed root vegetable and not burst out laughing, which is why I’m so glad Japanese farmer @konsai_umemama decided not to throw his misshapen companion away, but instead take pictures of him — lots of them, in all sorts of comical situations.

The writers at Design Taxi have mused the radish, hereafter known as Mr. Radish Man, looked like he was running, but I personally think the figure resembles more closely that of a lithe, elegant dancer.

Just look at the air it’s getting, that form, that pointed toe! Ooh Mr. Radish Man, you betta werk.
