The squirrel was a goddamn narcotics agent

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

The squirrel was a goddamn narcotics agent

Post by Metal Vendetta » Tue Jul 26, 2005 12:15 pm

As those of you who stayed at mine over the w/end will be aware, amongst the herbs in my garden was a largish mary jane plant that had just started to flower.

After I left Rebis at the tube station on Sunday, and bought some food, I went back to prepare my dinner (chicken, veg, potatoes, gravy, usual thing) and popped out into the garden to grab some herbs - rosemary, mint, that sort of thing. I noticed that the "special" herb plant didn't look its usual self, so I wandered over to find that its main stem had been severed about an inch above the ground and the plant was, in fact, dead.

Pure rage built up inside me and I cast about for someone on whom this despicable deed could be blamed. But no, upon closer examination of the crime scene it became apparent that my plant had been killed, not by human means, but by a squirrel gnawing through it. There were squirrel hairs all over the place and quite a few stuck to the base of the stem itself.

Long story short, a squirrel killed my weed. He didn't eat the budding flowers or anything, just toppled the plant and left it. Is that not the most bizzare and ******-up thing you ever heard of?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Squirrels are evil, and psychotic.

I heard on the radio today that they shag trees just to dominate their women.

I also saw a suicidal squirrel dogde two cars (second one was mine) that must've had a combined velocity well over 100mph (we were travelling in opposite directions, you might've guessed), just to cross a road (where the rotting badger corpse is still hanging out, btw).

Sorry to hear about your MJ, EmVee, but you have to keep your resolve, and not let any future rodent incursions deprive you of your shrooms!

Skunk killing, opressive tree-violators...!

Squirrels have more character than I thought. :o

I'm going to start flipping them the bird. That'll learn 'em! That'll learn 'em good!

It just made me think of this:
In days of old, when knights were bold,
And women weren't invented,
Men drilled holes, in telegraph poles,
And stood there quite contented.

Schooldays were fun when I were a nipper. :)

I'm no botanist, because plants don't remotely interest me regardless of their pleasures, could it be salvaged by rooting powder?

Still look at the work these guys put into their special imports. Only to have some lazy arsed police officers laugh themselves silly watching them dig it and then move in at the end to arrest everybody.

I took a couple of cuttings which might be salvageable with a little rooting powder - if they both take then the squirrel actually helped my plant to reproduce. Weird, huh?

Question:

Would the sap have any narcotic effects? Of so, it might be why the squirrell did that....

Nah - it's the flowers that contain the THC. The sap, as far as I know is neutral.
