Damn. What is it with people and their man-eating acid-spraying plants?
It's getting so you can't even walk down the sidewalk any more without taking a hit and getting a few pounds munched out of you. One of the damn things set my coat on fire today after tearing off my right arm. Typing is a bitch right now.

And it f-ing hurts.

I watched one of 'em today dissolve a cop car, too. Cops just got out, said, "Whoops, lost another one" and walked back to the precinct.

Does no one see the inherent danger of these things? Am I the only one?

3. I blame fertilizer.
Honestly, if it weren't for the steroids fed to cattle, which passes to the manure and then into fertilizer, those darn things would never be able to crawl out of their pots.

The roses are the worst. All the while their thorns are sucking at your throat they can't stop murmering to ya. "Don't I smell pretty?" "Wouldn't your girlfriend like a dozen of me for Valentines day?"

Sheesh.

4. You got those things there too?
Man I hate those things...They were bad enough to begin with but ever since they started moving around, well let's just say it's beginning to get out of hand!

5. I don't know where you are...
but we don't have that sort of thing out here, even if we are close to several military bases and one would think this is the sort of place you can find them.

I would give anything to get my ass chewed enough to lose a couple of pounds - nothing major, just getting rid of the jiggles.

Remember, it's not the man-eating acid-spraying plants that kill, it's the habitual roving bands of thugs with unlicenced, unleashed MEASP's running about.

If I was you, I'd invest in a lot of Arm n' Hammer Baking Soda.

6. Evolution at work. Don't you just love it?
Gets to be too much of one thing, something eventually comes along to eat it.

8. Dude, those aren't plants.
They're called "vaginas." I blame Georgia O'Keefe for your confusion. Anyways, all women have 'em, and you need not be phobic, just cautious. If you can work around the inherent dangers of the toothy beast, they can actually be quite sweet. Wear protection.

9. ROTFL!
That damn O'Keefe. I knew the Moral Values squad of the American Republican Party should have shut her down when she started.

next thing you know, our children will be marrying dogs.
