Hey all you krayzee pithecanthropes. Whazzup? It’s just another Saturday here in Skyland. There’s been a train o’ rain the last two days, and The IP has managed to dodge some downpours and get some domestic shite done. His first project was to clean up and rehab his bowling ball garden for the new season:
Some new black mulch and some cleaning and re-setting of his river pebbles and balls was in order. He also planted some “Irish Moss” with the hope it will spread to provide some nice green carpet next to his balls. He also picked up some St. John’s Wort plants to add to the mix. It should be all done by Sunday afternoon.
As you can see from the radar pic above, the rain train has some good gaps in which The IP can do some stuff, like crank out some BBQ chicken this PM. He’s working on a new sauce to unveil at his upcoming Outdoor Movie Night.
Despite the rain, there were a lot of yard sales this weekend in Skyland. The IP picked up the below drafting table for $5.00:

It will make a good desk space for his bedroom, or perhaps an impromptu outdoor table for the movie night.
How about that Miss California bee-atch who goes out of her way to diss gay marriage and then has the people who run the pageant pay for her fake boobs. WTF? God hates gays but loves silicon breastages? Where is that in the Bible? How funny that MercuryNews.com, the site to which The IP linked for the story, covers “The Silicon Valley.” True dat.

it’s st. john’s wort, not wart, and supposed to be good as an antidepressant although that might make you hypersensitive to light and lead to cataracts—you will need to keep the moss moist—actually plastic plants, if carefully chosen, might go good with the bowling balls—that might reduce maintenance—but all in all your bowling-ball garden is a fine thing
Comment by tomitron May 3, 2009 @ 12:23 amEverything is “natural,” Tomitron. You can’t create anything without the elements and chemicals that exist in the world. Though I appreciate the correction on the “wort.”
The whole point of the b-ball garden is to contrast the the balls with real plants. WTF? If you put a plant in a plastic or concrete planter, you are doing the same thing. YOU are Concrete Man. YOU are elevated-disconnected-from-earth man. You are on the 13th floor for Christsake!!
It’s just nice to get my hands into the earth…and to caress a bowling bal…ahhhhhh.
Comment by tancred62 May 3, 2009 @ 1:06 amAh, the rain train. We are getting it, too. “Owen” was using gaps in the rain train to try to build me a raised bed for a garden. All natural. Right now I don’t feel like planting anything. I feel like continuing to read the cheap murder mystery I am reading. I submitted final grades yesterday and I’m glad to be done for the semester! No more “high” literature for me for a while! Well, two weeks, at least.
Comment by Marlone May 3, 2009 @ 2:37 amMaking a raised garden planter between downpours is a lot easier than staying inside and cleaning up that big back room. “Owen” is no fool. True dat! LOL!
Comment by tancred62 May 3, 2009 @ 3:28 pmYO! “Wort is an old English name for plant-there are many kinds of worts,so the “plants” in y’r message is a pleonasm.
Comment by Dr. Kinbote May 3, 2009 @ 6:05 pmI think I would find a green carpet next to my balls very uncofortable, but, as the French say, chacun a son goute.
Wort is used to make beer.
Beer is (one of) God’s way(s) to show us that he wants yeast to thrive in the com[pany of drunk humans.
Forget Ben Franklin.
