What would happen if you gave potted kudzoo to someone? Really, how crazy does that stuff grow?  If the answer if good, I know what I'm giving for Christmas!


Kudzu grows like crazy go nuts under the right conditions.  In the South it's been measured at sixty feet per year.  It's evil, but also sometimes it is pretty.  There was a creek drainage near my childhood home that was covered with the stuff - it was like some alien jungle Star Trek world to play in.

Now I look back and wonder why I never thought about the snakes that were surely hiding in it.

Er, but yeah.  If it's got the right conditions, a foot a day isn't out of the question.

Kudzu always reminds me of that green alien plant shit in the first "Creepshow" comic book- you know, the guy touches the green goo in the meteorite, and next thing you know he's covered in moss and trying to blow his own head off, and the moss is spreading TOWARDS CHICAGO!
However, at the park right by my house at home(and by park, I mean "total wilderness encompassed by roads"), there are some trees that have been so completely covered in kudzu that they appear to be giant bushes. You can actual walk throught the kudzu and find yourself in a tiny kudzu room, with the tree trunk in the middle. You might also find a ratty lawn chair and some old Busch Lite cans in there, but that's the price you pay for learning where the hobbits dwell.

I have a friend who parked a car in his yard in Georgia and by the end of the summer, the kudzu had grown in, around and through everything under the hood so as to make the vehicle inoperable and require days of work to make operable.

Bozack, why didn't you tell me about this magical place before I went to Louisville?

Because it's right by my house? I mean, I like you guys and all, and I'd love to meet you somewhere, but the idea that you could be hanging around my neighborhood....it's unsettling.

kudZOO, kudZU

Well maybe I'll snip a few stalks of that stuff and grow it in my new apartment.  You know, the new apartment where I had to call the cops my first day there 'cause the crazy next door fired off his gun a couple times at about four in the afternoon? I could grow a bunch of it and cut it to fill in the three inch gaps under the storm windows so that maybe it'll be not a TOTAL waste to have the furnace going. I heard my roomate get up this morning and click it on while she got ready to go to her final and then turn it off as she left 'cause she knew I'd get mad.  

YaY! fOr InDEpEnDenCE!

Re: keeping kosher-

Yesterday, I was at a photography supply store. Now, all of the major photography supply stores in Manhattan are run by observant Jews; they're not Hasidic, but they all wear the kippah and have the payot. So a guy was up at the film desk, and apparently his film of choice had just stopped production. The guy at the counter, attempting to consolde him, told him that, you know, he could always switch to digital.
His response?
"Man, I'll switch to digital the day you sit down with me and enjoy a ham sandwich."

I just gave Bozack a can for something he wrote over 4 years ago.  I'm really loving this Tell us Things thread.

The cans were a useful and productive feedback mechanism until the most recent iteration of admins who just gave thousands of cans to anyone who made them laugh. Cans were a good idea until this happened, now with the new admins they are exactly fuck*ng pointless.
