[click image]That thing that I thought was some very strange mutation of my wild iris was PAMPAS GRASS!!! Scourge of the earth! Some dim, dim, dim bulb decided to try planting clearcuts with pampas grass to keep the soil on the slopes and now it's everywhere! It belongs in ARGENTINA, okay? Have you got that? OMG
I nearly killed myself trying to get that sucker dug out. I want to light my yard on fire....
I half suspect that psychotic old bat next door who thinks I'm a sexpot after her gnarled old husband because I go barefoot in my yard where he can see me from their window! That it's some scheme of hers to keep his eyeprints off my toes! I want a shotgun!
You must be the only other person on Earth who knows what pampass grass is. I used to harvest it! ;)-\_

I'm beside myself! I gave a pretty picture of it. More often it just looks like shit and spreads everywhere worse than dandelions! And those blades are SHARP.
ReplyDeleteI still want a shotgun!
99,
ReplyDeleteYou could be wrong about who planted the pampass grass. It might have been the psychotic old bat's gnarled old husband. As a pre-geezer, it's my understanding that geezers usually stare at, um, other body parts, not at toes ;-) Maybe he sensed your aversion to pampass grass and knew you'd be out there digging in all sorts of revealing positions?

Ha! Come to think of it, it's only his WIFE who is scandalized by my bare feet! He may be interested in the rest.... And, if so, he got an eyeful because I was braless and wearing a huge t-shirt with no sleeves and big arm holes and everything was definitely flying around in my frenzied digging. I guess he's welcome to be pervy over there because I'm not going to wear a burkha in my yard to calm that goofy woman's outrageous jealously thing, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI take that stuff personally, and I just should not. It's HER problem, even if it is an insult for her to treat me as though I'd try to steal her husband, even if he were the sexiest thing I'd ever met... and he is waaaaay not that!
:-P
Still, it was probably just the damn stuff spreading from a nearby clump, a seed getting lodged in my little clump of gorgeous wild iris. I had to damage that thing to get out the pampas grass. And I may have to poison the sucker to keep it from growing back... which would not go well on the iris....
I just now realized I was putting too many esses on "pampas" last night in my hot flipout mode... I better fix that!
I'm only 56 and going senile already... or... just needing to learn the ropes of this AARP generation thing...... :o)
ReplyDeleteI helped a friend tear out about 10 clumps of it. Well established clumps at that.
ReplyDelete10,000 paper cuts and 2 broken shovels later we got 'er done!

ReplyDeleteMy wife has one of those - she doesn't get much done, though, when she wears it...
:oP
Okay. Confirmed, then. Codgers are still as pervy as in their youth! :oD
ReplyDeleteYup!
