"Because Plants Love Metal."

Jaya: "So, you're going to play Dethklok for the plants right?"

Me: "Whhhat?"

Jaya: "Oh, because plants like metal music. I was watching something were people wanted to see what type of music plants most respond to and it turned out that they realllly responded to metal music."

Me: "Oh, and then YES."

So, this one's for you, Basel, Binaca, Guido, Fozzie, and Killer/Poison Apple:

My favorite (because who doesn't like screaming "MURMAID-ER, MURMAID-ER!")


Jaya's favorite because it HAS THE BEST LYRICS IN LIFE ("If I can write off your murder, I'd save all of my receipts."):


Detharmonic Lyrics:
I want to keep my money
And give away absolutely nothing
To the government who moderates my spending
and obliterates depending on what time of the year
brutality is near

in the form of income tax
I'd rather take a fucking axe
to my face, blow up this place
you blow
with you all in it, I'd do it in a minute

If I could write off your murder
I'd save all of my receipts
because I'd rather you be dead
than lose a tiny shred of what I made this fiscal year

I'd rather you be dead than ponder parting with my second home
I'd rather you be dead than consider not opening a restaurant

I'd rather you be dead
I'd rather you be dead

Prepare the laser-beam
I'm gonna use it tonight

Engage the laser-beam
It's gonna end your life

I'm gonna use it tonight

If I could write off your murder
I'd save all of my receipts
because I'd rather you be dead
than lose a tiny shred of what I made this fiscal year

I'd rather you be dead than ponder parting with my second home
I'd rather you be dead than consider not opening a restaurant

I'd rather you be dead
I'd rather you be dead now
Be dead now
Be dead now
Be Dead now
Be Dead.

HAHAHAHA oooohhh Dethklok. Lyrics found here.

Kermit: "Good grief! The comedian's a bear!" Fozzie: "No hesa not! Hesa wearin' a necka tie!"

Adding to #10 on my list:

NEW HOBBY: Gardening! Well, no. More like: Herb plants, tomato seedlings, TOPSY TURVY!

So, recently, it was our father's birthday and, since he is a very, VERY hard person to shop for, my sister and I decided to jokingly/totally for realsy get him the amazing (fingers crossed) tomato planter.

Secretly, however, I reeeeallly got it for meself. WHY? Because I am intrigued, if not totally taken in by the lush, yet horribly pixelated, pictures of tomatoes on the box cover (and because of the late night infomercials, shhhh).

But now it's soooo much more! After a trip to OSH, we came away with these lovely ladies/fellas:

01/ Basel, the basil plant:

02/ (lt to rt) Guido, the Italian parsley + Binaca, the mint plant (had to place them cheek to cheek because of the lack of pots):

03/ (lt to rt) Fozzie, the heirlooms seedlings + Killer/Poison Apples, the Tiny Tims.

STRANGE ASIDE:

Try to keep up with my logic and reasoning here for a moment:

Topsy Turvy Planter >> tomatoes >> rotten tomatoes >> Fozzie Bear.

Yes.

The tabs I had open the night I got the plants, et al. were, "How to care for tomato plants," "How much do I have to water plants," AND "Fozzie Bear, The Funniest Bear In The Universe," "Fozzie Bear, Best and Worst Jokes."

Soooo, as visual ode to my tomato seedlings....

Piggy: Scooter, if you had ten hot dogs and Skeeter took three of them what would you have?
Fozzie: He'd have a tummy ache! Wocka Wocka Wocka!

 

Fozzie: There was this sailor that was SO fat
Sailor: How fat was he?
Fozzie: Uh ... He was so fat that everybody liked him, and there was nothing funny about him at all.

p.s. I say "Wocka Wocka" at least once a week. Noooo joke. Personal Hero.
