I'm a very keen gardener. That is to say, I really like plants. I like them right where they are. I like them growing wild and free and happy, not requiring anything of me but quiet adoration.
This is my barbecue.
It's gone past "Laziness" and into "Art."
I call this piece "Nature and man coming together in a beautiful display of love and wonder and small pretty flowers that has nothing to do with me being afraid of the garden and everything to do with the natural order of things and the obvious truth of God's great plan."

Smurfs,
you are right but you are coming off as arrogant and that just makes you look like
a jerk. (i still greatly respect you and your writing. don't get me wrong)
altough this post is connected with the bandwagon it's nothing like the other posts
and doesn't necessarily deserve the derision from your crusade.
-----------------------------
+2 to Circe then for her gardening skills.
And I never said I wasn't arrogant...
*hugs*

I'd vote for your left nipple covered with my left nipple, but my nipples seem to have already been spoken for. Snark's hands are colder than that chair we talked about this morning. Woo! I feel so tingly.
Hey, we need to have a contest to identify Spivey's voice.
I think he sounds like either
A Danny DeVito
or
B Lil Jon (3,6,9 standing real fine move it to you suck it to me one mo time)
Ok, that's all.

Snark, did it have real cream cheese frosting or that shitty copout sugary stuff?
And I can't believe you sang that to them. Remember when we used to sing it to each other on those long road trips with a partially dismembered hitch hhiker still conscious and screaming piteously in the trunk? It was OUR SONG.
Heartless fuck.
No more coffee now. Need to sleep. Will soon be at level of mentality that makes me post "A picture of my left nipple covered in chocolate ice cream." It shall be a series! A grand series to rival Necrosiac! Every week, a little more of the icecream is licked away by a toy poodle until, in episode 17, we see my left nipple in all its glory. OR I could make it a series of series! "My left nipple covered in jelly," "my left nipple covered in tar," "my left nipple covered in ketchup."
AND AFTER THAT WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE RIGHT NIPPLE!!
IT'S FUCKING GENIUS IS WHAT IT IS!!
.....sleep. Right.

Gah!
The glory hole thing made my skin crawl.
P.S.
I just baked my team a carrot cake and served it in a skirt while singing "How much is that Doggie in the Window"
Also,
I refuse to let go of Ashk's boobs.

I'm sorry, Snark. I've been a bad girl again, haven't I?
Bad, bad, naughty, dirty Circe..
Oh well. You should have appreciated my random words more. HA!
Ash... be nice to Snark. I'm worried about him. He's recently started spending time on the wrong side of a glory hole and not having sex.
I think he needs a hug.
Ash? Ash! ASH! I didn't mean that kind of hug. Put your damned shirt back on. Snark, stop grinning. Both of you, get your hands off... ahhh fuck it.
Go play in your room where I don't have to watch it.

"Spend time on a post (as me and will do) and then watch it get 12 reviews before being bumped off the front page for a picture of a bandwagon that gets 30.
It's annoying."
By now you should have realized that the majority of the current Uber crowd doesn't really give a shit about writing anymore. You're in the wrong place.
If you think millions should read your stuff, for some sort of egocentric self-centered reason...
-----------------------------
I've realized... but even before uber I wrote for my own site, which is for friends and myself. Someone pointed me towards uber, and now I just post here as well.
And I post on the internet... of course I'm narcissistic.

Fartman, you don't understand. I saw it grow from a tiny little two leaf plant with one flower. It was so cute I couldn't pull it out. And then.. it was a little bigger and climbing up the bricks, and I was so impressed by its tenacity that I couldn't pull it out.
And then, you know, it got bigger. It thrived, even though my cat kept eating it. It flourished, though people laughed and mocked and called it a 'weed.'
And when this picture was taken, I considered it a friend. We'd been through so much together, you see. All those rainy afternoons when I'd glare at the garden for growing and it'd glare back because it's possessed.
It's gone now, though; it's summer here and we need the barbecue to cook the local wildlife on.

That's pretty pathetic. People come here to relax and have fun. It isn't all about you.
Circe,
your barbecue and my dust bunny collection should meet. They could share parasites.

Smurfs - Because I had this picture of my barbecue, and wanted to make a post about what a fucking shithouse gardner I am. But really.... how long can you stretch "I don't like weeding. Here."?
Then the brick thing started and I figured this'd work.
I didn't google it. Give me a little credit.

Honestly I didn't even read it, I was just going down teh titles... but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Still think you're a good writer, still think this was pointless :)

I had a lovely planter and petunias and such last spring... I watered it and loved it... it was beautiful. Then, one morning, I went out to water it and I found that a lizard had taken up residence in my planter and I refused to water it anymore and it died.
I hate lizards. But I love Circe.

This is the kind of crap that encourages idiots to post, you are one of the better authors on this site... I don't know why you would want to contribute to that environment.
I did the same thing for 'Bandwagon Wednesday,' 'ass Sunday' and every other 'oh look I can find a picture on google splurge.'

I would be afraid of the garden too if I lived in Australia.
There's probably over a million poisonous insects living in that 3 foot square area.
