Planthony, 2002-2002

Beloved plant and... plant.



I went to Japan, not even thinking that he might get thirsty while I was gone.

I just... I just don't know what to say.
[2002-03-25 00:56:20] Al
Wow... .....that's really depressing.

I'm sure it was just God's subtle way of punishing Planthony
for associating with such a heathen as yourself.

That whole stripper thing was as profane as it -gets-, buddy.

I'm sorry.
poor sap [2002-03-25 01:28:29] alptraum
it looks like there still might be hope... have you tried mouth to stem recusitation? EKG? (electroklorophyllogram)? acupuncture?

come on planthony, you never backed down from anything in your life now FIGHT, goddamnit, fight you bitch! no, get off me, she has a strong heart, she wants to live... fight... *sob*
come on now, fight! [2002-03-25 03:46:02] sandyyy
Don't you have a friend who can bust in a window? Or a spare key hidden under a dead squirrel? Come on man, think!
Cactus [2002-03-25 03:50:06] Jacques Kitsch
There're various cactii that don't require much attention, good for people with irregular habits.
Rodentia Malevolentia [2002-03-25 04:26:18] Jacques Kitsch
If you had Japanese Squirrels and forgot to water them, it wouldn't be a big deal. I like the flat squirrels that I find in the road. I dunk them in hot water and make squirrel tea in keeping with the Japanese Squirrel Tea Ceremony.

jacques your sequiteurs have been getting a little more 'non' lately if you know what i mean... have you been taking peyote or something?
I recommend... [2002-03-25 08:26:34] Annna
A VIKING FUNERAL.

Only then can the healing begin.


Peyote [2002-03-25 08:46:18] Jacques Kitsch
Well, if Sean had peyote, he could go off on any kind of an expedition and not worry about the watering thereof. Or one of those Venus Flycathers, then the plant could survive on nice juicy bugs. Or her could feed peyote to the Venus Flycatcher, and stand back and watch the ensuing hilarity.
Cause of Death [2002-03-25 09:29:31] Jacques Kitsch
I think that a Catholic Priest molested that plant.
[2002-03-25 11:11:55] jana
you still haven't err.. laid Planthony to rest yet? don't you think it's kind of icky to leave corpses sitting in your living room for weeks at a time?
dear god please don't let anyone post that they do that on a regular basis with non-plant corpses.
fairly common [2002-03-25 11:29:32] aspcp
It really isn't unusual to leave death lying around the house.

Well, not "death" per se... it's usually just me. But I do lie around the house, and I do leave myself there most days.

Well, not "me" per se... it's usually just my cat.
oh yeah: [2002-03-25 11:30:43] aspcp
My cat whose name is DEATH!!!!
This is pretty weak. [2002-03-25 11:48:54] staniel
I mean, dying of thirst/neglect is no way to end a heroic saga. I was hoping Sean would end up bent over the shattered remains of stalwart Planthony, cradling his fronds in his huge, powerful hands, throwing his head back and roaring "MENDOZA!"
Avacado [2002-03-25 13:51:36] Jacques Kitsch
Damn plants, anyway. I've got some avacado seeds that I've been meaning to sprout. So, I've got some pots with a nice mix of vermiculite and dirt, but today when I went to open the window, I knocked over one of the pots and it spilled potting junk on the carpet. My favorite plants that I've had for a long time look like shamrocks but they're not. Also, they turn purple if they get sunburned. It's almost time for the Japanese cherry blossoms here, any day now. The beavers have felled several of the cherry trees.
the best way to go...the zoroastrian way [2002-03-25 14:46:24] alptraum
To avoid contaminating fire, earth, or water, the Parsis dispose of their dead by exposing the bodies in ?towers of silence? (circular structures some 20 ft/6 m high surrounding a stone courtyard) where vultures devour them.

amen
Poetic, sort of [2002-03-25 15:04:23] Jacques Kitsch
The Persians may have discovered the best way to get your spirit to Heaven, have the vultures carry it skyward. Maybe if Sean smears rancid bacon fat on Planthony, the vultures will eat him.
White Rain [2002-03-25 23:04:42] Nandanee Zeall
Yes that's it! And the excrement will be a type of white rain that you cannot get in a conditioner bottle! What once was green and vibrant shall turn into white rain. Sayeth the scriptures.
Return of the living dead [2002-03-26 07:51:03] dunc
e's not dead - e's just restin'. Drop of water with BIO PLANTFOOD and he'll be grand!
dawn of the dead [2002-03-26 10:12:46] aspcp
When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. Presumably, even if they didn't walk before. Get ready, Flyboy.
Now it has began... [2002-03-26 14:59:55] Festerius
The final war between plant and man has begun. Only one can rule supremely over the earth. This call goes out to all of my plant brethren! Plant-kind shall be victorious! Mu ha ha! Make your time human fiends!
It's not easy being Green [2002-03-26 16:22:14] Nandanee Zeall
The plants and the frogs shall conspire
To call all but the Green party a liar
So drink up your grog
Do not trip on a frog
Be a nice carnivore
The plants will implore!
Frank [2002-03-26 19:20:38] Jacques Kitsch
I got a plant and his name is Frank
I found him on the river bank
I taught him how to sing a song
And dance around and wear a thong
This wouldn't've happened... [2002-03-26 21:09:38] Natty Light
had you named it W.E.B du Bois the Plant, like I said to. He would have written essays regarding how plants have to want to get out of their station, dependant on Fleshy for life. He would have also developed an animosity towards Booker T. Washington the Ficus for his concilitory stance with those who lord power over the Verdes.
