Potatoes prefer multi-tailed flagellation. It reminds them of their youths, as single celled asteriods. During that time, their fulsome bodies are coated with fllagellae. This allowed them to tunnel gracefully through most soups, though cream of celery is always hard, owing to the fiberglass

But, as you know, we can all get around that by a conscientious refusal to use the visible light spectrum. Stick with infraviolet or ultrared. And, as a bonus, it keeps pesky clowns away.

Oh my god.
This conspiricy keeps unfolding before my eyes.

"Evian" is "Naive" spelled backwards!

Not just a coincidence I am sure.

The more I look into these things, the fuckeder they get.

I should just close my eyes and take the pill...

the shy ones twist their balloons de psychological without any facepaint,

and the crowd at the end of the line are too distant to hear the groans of those who've found the end


which way to the fountain bin, you say?

there's always the blue shiny liquid that jiggers with the meltin,
but what they really crave is rare to be found

might be why they crave it

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.

Why is it that one never sees a garden in the areas with the highest unemployment rates? I mean, it's certainly not 'cause the local people don't have time to find and barter for seed, scratch out a small plot of soil, plant the seed, water and weed the fledging beds, secure the fruits of their labor, harvest and store their solar-provided bounty, and use a very small portion of it to replant another crop the following year. ("Whew, sounds like a lot of work, just for some food.")

It's difficult to starve a man who grows his own food.

In general, I don't know, but theft can be a problem I hear.

There are more raccoons in the city than the country.
I can't grow tomatoes the way I want without fully enclosing them.
I had plans to grow indoors once.
No room now.

Enclosed in hardware cloth, you can grow a lot of tomatoes in a small area.
2 or 3 plants are all you need.

So you don't plant radishes--you plant radicchio. That'll keep people from absconding with your radishy goodness.

Unless all they're really focused on is spelling. Then you'll wind up with a few cs and an o.

I used to use weeds as ground cover.
Now I concentrate on growing and hybridising a number of varieties of weeds. It's actually less trouble, and it's one thing I have a talent for.
Some of them are actually moderately useful.

don't look down upon the laborers
just ask yourself, "what would hurcules do?"

what on earth is not 3 dimensional?

gravity is the collective influence of large sums of atoms,
each consisting of two states (outer and inner) and a relative motion between
in a recipe seen reflected in the cosmos.

a two directional addendum to a one dimensional point does not a realism make

if something were true, t'would hold true no matter how close you looked.

how fine a point can you make that wouldn't become a canvas when more magnificently magnified?

the mind is either occupied with reality, or a false sense of it.

let's not over-look the advantage of having soo many sets of neurons and sensory bits roaming around.
instantiate vacuous truth
