I live right in the middle of the [Sonoran Desert](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/20540be2f0a3cb44c7bf96e5f038a8e4ac31478c/c=0-0-2128-1600/local/-/media/2017/09/11/Phoenix/Phoenix/636407692075578205-Sonoran-Desert.jpg?quality=50&width=640). I can send you a nice fat saguaro. I saw those cactuses in Arizona for the first time ever last January. They’re beautiful and should not be used for nefarious purposes. ---

No idea what Sherlock has to do with it. You probably meant genius. Broom and granny need work too. Don’t worry, if you keep trying you’ll reach irritating. Right now you’re just amusing. ---

Wow, first pit thread for the OP, and it’s already at 6 pages. I call that a success by any metric. 😃 ---

As to Beck, her Hillbilly Diaries aren’t really my thing but I defended her right to dumb titles when it came up in ATMB! I don’t hate on people for liking to tell stories, for god’s sake. I just kinda agreed that this thread topic doesn’t fit her style. ---

[Moderating] It appears the last page of this thread has largely been about bullshit happening on Giraffeboards, instead of bullshit happening on the SDMB. I’m too drunk and tired to tease out if any individual posters deserve specific attention for this, so I’m just going to close the thread and remind everyone to keep their off-board bullshit from contaminating their on-board bullshit.
