Haha... no

Hannah, in her Vicky Pollard-esque Bristol accent, has just informed me that 'the parsley has sh!t in the vase!'

Wait, what?

The water in the vase in which we are keeping a cutting of parsley allegedly smells of poo (even in the interest of scientific curiosity), therefore, in Hannah Logic, the plant has done its business in the vase.

My reaction: WAT?

The internet's reaction: O hay, no results for your search.

Hannah feels that I'm in league with The Man, attempting to keep the truth about plants down. Things are tense here at Montcada Towers. Flist, you are a rather learned bunch. Please help solve this dispute:

Well, blatantly you have shit fairies. Keep up.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Man, I do not like the sound of shit fairies. Little buggers! >:(

[keep-warm.livejournal.com]

It's either them or Mika. I asked my dad. He would know.

Parsley Poo

[mumsisdaughter]

Are you old enough/Did you ever see 'The Herb Garden' or was it 'The Herbs' on good old Auntie Beeb? Parsley was a lion who sang 'I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley'. Am I going mad, perhaps? Perhaps it was he who sh*t in the vase.

Re: Parsley Poo

[rebness.livejournal.com]

ROFL!!

Very true. That dirty lion!

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

I am so judging you right now. The judgement is "stupid".



:p (obligatory, so you don't kill me)

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Y HALO DIPLOMACY TONGUE!

Today's argument in work was about whether dogs have periods. Nobody would believe my side of it! (I am not saying which side I was on...)

BUT I WAS RIGHT. Wiki said so?

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

It's not the same as human menstruation. Did they teach you nothing at school?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

That's what I was saying! But I was against five vocal Brits. And Nicola cited the fact that she had "seen it on Sex and the City."

So then I was all going on about overt and covert periods and how dogs do sometimes bleed from...there, but it's not menstruation. Then the others were all, "So what is the bleeding then? Isn't bleeding menstruation?"

And so on and so on. And this is why payroll was late today for 4,000 employees in the UK.

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

It's not as bad as "eggs are chicken periods" which is so wrong and stupid that it makes my eyes bleed.

In happier news, I had curry tonight. Be jealous!

[rebness.livejournal.com]

That came up today, too! I wisely decided Not to Get Involved.

I am jealous! Why do you torture me like this, bb? ;_;

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

Now I feel ill because I ate it all without saving half for tomorrow. Plus four onion bhajis. Eeerugh.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Aww, man. I really like it the next day.

But you know what I like MOAR?

ONION BHAJIS.

Seriously, this is torture. Torture!

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

Also, I have a giant yellow pus-filled pimple on my chin, and my ear is bleeding a little (guess it's having a period). You're really much better off.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

On my mother's life -- seriously, I have a giant *something*-filled pimple on my chin, on the right, that I've been messing with all day. And my ear is bleeding. Except my ear is always bleeding, because eczema for the win!

So okay, not so much a coincidence. But yours has pus? So you win?

In other news, I still want bhajis. Did you have poppadoms, huh, huh?

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

No, I don't like poppadoms. They usually give you 3 free chapattis (or you can have chips instead LOL) with every curry but I guess biryani doesn't count, 'cause they didn't give me anyway. But THAT'S OKAY, I HAD RICE!! I would have got a naan too but couldn't afford it 'cause of the bhajis.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

But biryani is one of the best! How dare they discriminate? (Srsly, I always get biryani... mmm. MMM D:)

Bhajis are a better choice over naan. They're all crispy and gorgeous and I totally hate on you for having something so awesome whilst I dined on soup tonight. >:

(The soup was delish, but it was not curry, oh noes)

[zhonghua2000.livejournal.com]

The internet's reaction: O hay, no results for your search.

Clearly you did not ask the the right question.

I hope this clarifies things. <3

Cheers! But...

[rebness.livejournal.com]

What did you ask Google? I asked "Do plants poo?" and "Does parsley shit?"

Re: Cheers! But...

[zhonghua2000.livejournal.com]

LMAO!!!

Um... no.

I asked: "Do plants excrete waste?" See, you had to be more scientific. ;)

Re: Cheers! But...

[rebness.livejournal.com]

But pooing plants are so cute!

Clare in work theorised that they poo in the soil because 'they can get away with it' and are only caught out when in vases.

[stovetop00.livejournal.com]

Plants do indeed poo...just not like we poo. One criteria for all living things is the consumption of food and the production of waste. Plants eat. Plants therefore poo. Even if it's oxygen poo released as a gas into the atmosphere. We are all breathing plant poo right now! AHHH!

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Haha... eww!

[avariecaita.livejournal.com]

Just be careful. It could be worse than poo.

LMFAO

[rebness.livejournal.com]

You are evul!

[jaffacakequeen.livejournal.com]

its a triffid impersonating itself as parsley.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

That would explain a *lot* of things right now... ;)

[pandorasblog]

I chose to confuse you by answering "yes" and "stagnating". Because both might be a little bit true.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Grr! Are you on the fence about dogs having periods?

[pandorasblog]

*recovers from the unexpectedness of that*

The way I (as a non-vet who hasn't owned a female animal in nearly ten years) see it, most mammals' reproductive systems are broadly similar. They may have different gestation periods but I would assume that they still need to grow and slough off what would, in the event of a pregnancy, become a placenta.

But Chavo's a boy, right? Or are we in "is there such a thing as a male period" territory?
