While we are asking, what's the origin of "Bob likes carrots" and WTF does it mean????

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh god, thank you for asking this. Because I have no idea, either.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Doing one of my perpetual drive-bys - we have a big meeting in one week and it's been insane for the past month - Betsy HP's story about the deer reminded me of something that happened last week.
A deer wandered out of Rock Creek Park into Georgetown (for those of you who don't know DC, it's a fashionable (expensive) neighborhood with lots of shops). It wandered through Diesel and Ralph Lauren and was cornered in a dressing room by Animal Control. They shot it with a tranquilizer dart and took it back to the park. In a truly Washingtonian touch, as the unconscious deer was carried out, the crowd outside began chanting "Free Bambi!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hasn't that been FAQed?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
WTF does it mean????
Ok, so like you say, "Hey! I'm a writer!" and I say, "Ohmigawd! My SO Bob is a writer!" and then someone else say, "I drive a Ferrari!" and I say, "OHmigawd! Bob likes Ferraris!" And then someone else else says, "I like carrots, and then I say, "Oh mi GAWD!! BOB LIKES CARROTS!"

I hope it crapped on something foolishly expensive. Hopefully lots of somethings.

No reports on damage ... maybe it was just browsing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
While we are asking, what's the origin of "Bob likes carrots" and WTF does it mean????
Non-FAQ readers!
It was from a Teppy comment about people who get so wrapped up in their new romances that every subject is related back to that person.
Such as:
Joe: "Do you know any good recipes for carrots?"
Jane: "Yes I saw one in Cook's Illustrated last month."
Sue: "Bob likes carrots!"
Then it quickly became shorthand for any obsession which becomes the narrow lens through which you view everything around you.
In my world, baseball, music and haircuts like carrots.
