Hello. RubberCrutch has been away from his blogging equipment for a few weeks owing to various mundane causes including a busy, exciting lifestyle; a case of poison ivy; and a bout of fever that may have been caused by a German medical bulb thermometer that registers exactly 4 degrees Fahrenheit higher than ones' actual temperature. He will return to his post at his earliest possible convenience.Incidentally, it makes lots of sense to learn how to recognize poisonous flora in your yard. Although RubberCrutch was nearly driven insane by a case of poison ivy (or oak or sumac) contracted in California almost 35 years ago to this very day, he still forgets what the stuff looks like. Don't be like RubberCrutch --- be sure to use your noodle every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
here's a thought: use a food processor to liquify a shitload of poison ivy and fill super squirt guns with it. Take to tea bagger party (like the big one planned at the end of August) and fire away. Pointless amusement.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update....
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: not pointless, I guess. But I think that's an idea that doesn't belong in the public domain. If the All-One's indispensable angel, Satan, were to deploy that tactic on unrepentant war criminals and other architects of fear who are destined not to make the cut, that's up to those two worthy forces of nature. Tea Partiers are just dupes, pawns, and cats-paws, like most of us. Given a different education or a different store of information, those same people could be following a latter-day Huey Long, or Mother Jones, or Vlad Lenin for that matter. If they ever discover the real culprits who are really responsible for their fear and misery they will explode with the fury of a rock fan whose hero has "sold out." Bad scene, Bix.
ReplyDelete59er: You're welcome. And I was feeling your pain earlier this year, poison-ivywise, since I have my own terrible history with it. This bout has been reasonably manageable.
