To whom it may concern (namely, the morons out for his blood)

Jan 04, 2010 00:19

It occurs to me that tonight is a very good night to move the carnivorous plants to the hallway into the apartment. After all, that flytrap is running out of space in the living room. Perhaps I should consider a move - eight-foot ceilings might prove to be inadequate for this year's crop after all ( Read more... )

Tell me...are carnivorous plants bulletproof? Just curious.

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 05:27:30 UTC

Why, I've never experimented on them in that manner. I have no idea.

I do have one, however, which while not bulletproof, does secrete a highly toxic sap from any wound sustained. Which, I think, would possibly make the one shooting the hypothetical gun think twice before splattering it everywhere with a bullet.

Well damn. What does that one look like.

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 05:35:42 UTC

A thick-stemmed vine. I have it growing on a trellis in a doorway.

...There's no words. Vegetables shouldn't grow that large. It's against nature. The hell did you do to them!

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 14:52:51 UTC

Well, I do have something of a green thumb.

bloodwithcoffee January 4 2010, 14:55:38 UTC

Freak of nature.

bloodwithcoffee January 5 2010, 00:59:35 UTC

Do you feed them steroids?

IF IT'S THAT BIG, WHAT KIND OF MONSTER FLIES DOES IT TRAP!?!

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 14:53:26 UTC

I've been feeding it mice, actually.

cake_is_a_bang January 4 2010, 15:30:04 UTC

.....

Is it still growing?

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 16:36:30 UTC

I do hope so. They are perennial, after all.

Once again - so happy I live nowhere near you guys...seriously, 8 foot ceilings?!

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 16:37:33 UTC

It's not a terribly large apartment, but then again I do live alone.

origamicupcake January 4 2010, 20:44:30 UTC

Moreso of the fact of what the hell are you growing that needs 8 foot ceilings?!

double_nomsalot January 5 2010, 23:16:16 UTC

Vines regularly grow that tall. It's nothing unusual.

...Though yes, the eight-foot flytraps are something of an anomaly.

What is the point of growing something that big?

double_nomsalot January 4 2010, 16:37:58 UTC

Because it's beautiful.

puppetcakes January 5 2010, 16:16:19 UTC

What would be beautiful is if the gigantic plant were to eat a certain blonde co-worker. What do you say?

double_nomsalot January 5 2010, 23:17:04 UTC

I have no grudge against Deidara-san.
