Suebe was born into her family young, hairless, and kinda wet. After a few years, she had developed the skills to walk, talk, and eat. Her mother was the midwest's only female juggler and her father a rich investment banker from Manhatten. Their marriage was secret. And so was Suebe's birth. Raised by elephant handlers in a traveling circus, Suebe would come to learn the finer points of sword swallowing and contortionism. Curiously short, Suebe soon joined a traveling actors troupe that only preformed 'The Wizard of Oz.' Starting out playing Munchkin #3, she soon worked her way up to playing a ballerina Munchkin with a featured dance number. After seven years of playing the ballerina, one night during sleep she mysteriously grew 15 inches. Now at a normal height Suebe enjoys reaching the Saltines on the top shelf at the grocery store, painting ceilings, and of course, brushing her hair, a feat she was incapable of doing because she was to short to reach the top of her head. Taxed by the years in the circus, Suebe settled down and learned to crochet. She currently lives in an abandoned Taco Hut creating a large crocheted map of her travels. .She has recently moved to Africa, to live with the pygmies, where she is held in Goddess status for her incredible beauty and height. She bestows her people with top shelf Saltines and brushes their hair.http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/P6KQEI "]Kiva - Loans that save lives[This is my car http://www.plime.com/f/901/ Srsly

A wheat field grows in Manhattan Posted: 1 week ago by suebe
On Monday a live wheat field, approximately one quarter of an acre in size, sprouted at South Street Seaport. The Wheat Foods Council brought what they're dubbing the “Urban Wheat Field Experience” to the area, and it's only up through today. You can learn about "the lifecycle of the wheat kernel, functioning mills, bread-baking, nutrition" and more...but mostly it just seems fun to frolic in.
