craft boxing championships: aww vs awe! round 3!

Put yer dukes up. It's time for a round of Aww vs Awe!

Today's match is a vegan-friendly fight to the death. Heh.

On Team Aww, we have a cute little garlic, from Flickr user Yara. His cute little body! His cute little face! That giant hand behind him! Oh, the fear! Oh, the cuteness!




Team Awe retaliates with an army of thousands in this fractal cauliflower, in a (real!) photo taken by Flickr user Arabella. Monster or miracle? You decide.



It's vegetable vs vegetable. It's all or nothing. Who will win?

And the challenger for Team Awe: stacked chairs by Colombian sculptor Doris Salcedo. This is why musical chairs and Jenga do not mix.
