It's Bark Is NOT Worse Than It's Bite

"I think that I shall never see, a poem as bloody vicious as a tree", or so Joyce Kilmer would have written if he had lived in Padrame, India. If news reports are to be believed the village is being harassed by ferocious foliage that is not to be satisfied with a little bald kid's kites (story here). Keep in mind this is the same news media that reported the "monkey man" attacks and the rampage of the "bear man". So this story is a tad bit suspect.

In my dreams of owning real estate I see a nice cabin by the lake of fire with few bleeding Aligheri thorn bushes and one or two of these "tiger trees". A prettier picture Thomas Kincade couldn't paint. However, I've never had much of green thumb, and these "tiger trees" might just take off my whole arm, so maybe I'll just plan on sticking to thorns instead.

Hmmmm, I wonder if Lowes carries these in their landscaping department. I'd plant one right outside of our bedroom window where the cats like to "rendezvous"at four-o-clock in the morning.

Brackish - are you a cat or a dog demon?

I'm a Mongolian Death Worm man. They are easy to train but notoriously hard to spay or neuter. I can't figure out which end is it's front.
