Two gallons of Roundup sprayed two days ago, and another two gallons

That should take care of the areas near the house. Out in the fields,
let the weeds proliferate; I don't care.

Yes sir, better living through chemistry.

My evil plan is to breed a variety of Roundup-resistant dandelions and
spread the seeds over golf courses across the country.

Now wait a minute, Brother Dank, you should expend your time and energy
into convincing birds and predatory bugs that the brown marmalated Asian
stink bug is an acquired taste. Predators are leaving these vicious pests
alone because of the exotic fragrance they exude. It's really not so bad
when you're exposed to it for a while. In Vietnam the dink people dine on
them regularly as hors d'oeuvres before the main meal.

Resistance to Roundup is already occurring in weeds,

Aw yes. Mama Nature has a way of fighting back against man's chemicals.

and I predict that
the day people have to stoop to pull dandelions by hand is the day they
declare them be a "wildflower" instead of a "weed."

Oh hell, I knew hippie **** in the late 1960s who were wearing dandelions
in their headbands while they danced, burned their bras, screwed the homies
in their local Black Panther Party chapters, and spit on troops returning
from their 12-month tours of duty.
