It’s this one.
This is a culmination of two or three previous threads in MPSIMS starting, I think, with this one, where prr’s frustrations with those he sees as excessively coddling or catering to their pets seems to have been mounting.

No, because the plant rescue shelter told me that, if you make a big production in front of your plants before leaving, your plants are more likely to experience separation anxiety while you’re gone.
Seriously, though, prr has some fucking issues. Some advice, prr: Quit whining like a little bitch on a message board, step away from the fucking computer, get some fucking game, and go meet some women who don’t have any fucking pets. Christ.
In addition to being provided by another doper, there is a link in the OP.
I must be blinded with lurve for my cats and cacti because I don’t see a link in the OP. I just assumed it was a case of an extremely mundane pointless thing that was being shared in the wrong forum. At that point I just thought he was a nutter. Now I see he’s got other issues as well.
It’s the “lolz I’m so clever, I’m going to make a parody thread and hide the link” method of linking - check out the period hanging out by itself under the post. I had to quote the post to figure out where the link was.
Probably because the “I’m a ‘Nice Guy’ schick” isn’t panning out.
Jeez, just when I thought the OP couldn’t get more pathetic. Thanks for explaining the stupid.
nevermind
Eh, jokes are worse if you have to explain them.
However, I read the op, and didn’t get why it was in the pit. I mean, talking to plants does help them grow, so nothing in the op struck me as too outlandish http://www.rps.psu.edu/probing/talkingtoplants.html
You could say it was the sole point in the whole post.
Pseudotriton ruber ruber, I’ve always like you as a poster, but buddy, this thread is a dick move on your part. You weren’t even in that thread. It was a little harmless piece of nothing IMHO thread, how the fuck did it piss you off so bad that you had to parody it in the pit?
My Mom. Black thumb. Give her a rubber plant, it dies. Coleus bites the dust. Fica, spider, philodendron, dead, dead, dead. She put them in the sun, they died, she put them in the shade, they died. She talked to them, she flattered them, they died. She chanted Buddhist sutras while clutching crystals, they attained enlightenment and had no need of an incarnation, so they dropped their earthly forms. Which looks a lot like being dead, if you didn’t already know, you’d think that was it.
I told her my brother took the coleus out to a nice farm in the country where it could play with the other coleus, and she got reallly mad. OK, I was smirking, but I was really trying not to.
All in all, its been my experience that plants are not good judges of character.
So, wait a minute, you dislike animals so much that you think there’s something parody-worthy about telling your dog when you’re leaving? Have you ever even been around a dog? They’re perfectly capable of understanding what you mean when you say “You have to stay here.”
Now, I agree that it’s kind of silly to talk to your cats, it’s not like they give a shit whether you leave or not. But dogs are pack animals, they want to be around you, and they actually have very good language skills. It definitely calms my dog down when I’m preparing to leave and I say “Don’t worry, I’ll be back.”
Well, the reason for Peter is Peter Parker=Spiderman… and it’s a spider plant [hangs head in shame]
Carol’s a good name for a Christmas cactus but when I started the job I had a coworker named Carol, and it might have been awkward. On top of the awkwardness of having to explain that I named my plants, that is.
Soooo, did she ever water them?
Seriously, up until recently my dog was more aware of what’s happening around the joint than my son and I don’t think anyone would think it was weird for me to say goodbye to Junior when I’m leaving the house.
Makes you wish Liberal and prr had destroyed each other in one vast implosion of board stupidity, doesn’t it?
How much did Liberal pay him to stop posting? We could take up a collection.
Sure, set a glass of water right next to them, they never touched it.
prr, did you make a fuss of your sense of dignity when you left it?
