In the movie Smiley Face, Anna Farris takes time to appreciate a framed photo of corn, thinking about how more people should hang photos of things they love. I feel like your onion is a great example of this. I recommend leaving some onions in the ground over winter so you get some lovely onion blooms next year. Onions are a gift, truly.

That is one beautiful onion! Wear it in good health, as my Nana always said.

My partner has a full back tattoo -- jaguar spots -- and when they got it, their family said no one would want to marry them because of it. But that's how we met, on Usenet in the mid-90s, in rec.arts.bodyart -- a community of people brought together by their love of the art of the tattoo, piercing, branding, and other "beautifications" of the body. A tattoo is an immensely personal thing and may or may not have great meaning for the wearer -- so no one should ever judge someone else for how they adorn their body.
