No kidding. Every pond around here pretty much only has bullheads and gillies in it and it would bemore trouble than its worth to get a meal for just one person out of them.

And if you run a line from a utility pole, you can score some free electricity too!

(The local police busted a huge pot farm about 10 years ago. The front for the operation was a nail salon, and after it somehow became known that this very busy salon had never paid an electric bill both the electric company and the police became very interested as to how this was accomplished.)

Oops! At first I misread that as “I’m still a middle-aged woman obsessed with boy **h** ands!”

Wait… what if two consenting adults want to shake hands, and sign a pre-nup saying they’re doing so under no coercion, and no impressionable children see them?

(Sorry-- gotta stop, this is getting too racy for me)

You know, I try to give you the benefit of the doubt, but resurrecting a pit thread that hasn’t had a post in two weeks, just so you could quote a post about yourself really screams “attention whore.” Just sayin’. :dubious:

Well, she did start a thread a week ago that had the implication she thought shitting on somebody’s deck was an acceptable form of revenge.

Are you under some delusional idea that flower farmers make so much money that they are “shitting gold”?

I swear to god you are the most useless, retarded poster we have here.

Think about how I feel :mad: She picked my post from weeks ago to use as her bumping-off point and now I feel all dirty. Like someone caught and fried my goldfish, dug up my flowerbeds, and pooped on my deck ☹ :mad:

Hey, now, don’t be making extravagant claims you might not be able to back up!

**vv** is definitely weird, but she does not even come close to the scale of utter cluelessness and stupidity of **Diamonds**. “If I can only find a way to reproduce these plants and sell them, I’ll be rolling in cash!” No, bitch, you just described farming. A practice which as a one-man operation has not made anybody rich, ever, and has existed for literally thousands of years. Fucking idiot.

I think I saw an SVU, a very special episode edition, of that premise once.

Isn’t “Two Broke Girls” supposed to be exactly that?

Though it kind of devolves into a lot of stupidity and ludicrous scenari…

Yeah, it’s exactly that.

I am imagining a cross between The Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, and Sanford and Son. Through in some BSG style shakey cam footage and some sparkely teenage vampires and I think we might have comedy gold Jerry.
