I won't be able to sleep tonight if I keep looking at these photos lol...just downright CREEPY!!!

Number four should be named Pandora's box. It looks like it's spewing forth a multitude of evil into the world.

Of course, if you've read the story, you will know that after the evil has dispersed into the world there will be one thing left at the bottom of the tomato. (box/jar) That one thing that keeps all of us coming back to this site, day after day, searching for the perfect tomato.

Hope

The voting is surprisingly close considering how lopsided the first round was. We have six of the nine named. Come on folks, we can get names for the other three. Here's what I have so far.

1
2 Heart Attack
3 Bloody Colon
4 Pandora's Box
5
6 Alien
7 Lips
8 Dead Sumo
9 Zombie Tomato

1 and 5 both seem like an elephant seal's nose fully inflated and 2 brings to mind a PAC MAN graveyard.

I know that doesn't help much, and the names are pretty lame, but it really is hard to describe such ugliness.

livinonfaith · February 12, 2013

If I look closely at number 2, I see what looks like a few hearts (valentine hearts, not actual human hearts) sticking out of the mass.

So my suggestions are "Death of St. Valentine" or "Heart Attack".

Jayc · February 14, 2013

Wow they all so UGLY!
Loving the names though

livinonfaith · February 14, 2013

I can definitely see the Elephant Seal for number five.

Okay, I've been trying to resist, but for number one, I see the inspiration for one of Elvis's lesser known works, "a hunk-a hunk-a burning hemorrhoid".

Or we could just go with "Elvis's Secret Shame".

Now I'll go back to my corner.

(I swear, people, this is harder on me that it is on you. I actually have to live with this brain!)

Redbaron · February 14, 2013

I'll go with that! Elephant seal and hemorrhoid!

But please don't attach the Kings name to any of them

nativeplanter · February 14, 2013

Wow, this is really hard. No. 1 didn't seem too terribly bad to me until Livinonfaith's comment about Elvis. Now I can't get that thought out of my head when I look at it. No. 5 looks like a brain to me. Sort of "This is Your Brain on Tomato".

I think I might go with No. 7. It looks like it's about to try to talk to me. Part of my grossness rating is thinking about whether I would try to save any portion of the tomato for eating. Number 6 looks like it has a giant worm growing out of it... but No. 7 is about to start singing Sinatra with a baritone voice. (Fly me to the moon...)

Doug9345 · February 14, 2013

OK I think we have them all named
1 Burning Hemorrhoid
2 Heart Attack
3 Bloody Colon
4 Pandora's Box
5 Elephant Seal
6 Alien
7 Lips
8 Dead Sumo
9 Zombie Tomato

What on earth did you feed those things? Or do you live near a nuclear reactor!

livinonfaith · February 14, 2013

Sorry, Red Baron!

Sometimes I'm ashamed of myself.
