Now OT [skip] Dendrobium cucumerinum x 2
Weird. I had 6 answers with a northern bias and 5 answers with a southern
bias, but I still came out 68% Dixie. The choices on #7 aren't very good and probably help throw off the results. I also didn't really have a strong preference on the name of the bug, I've heard and used more than one of those answers. I moved from the northeast down to Georgia when I was 5 or 6 (hard to remember that far back). -danny "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. Apropos of nothing, and I don't think Aussies can play, but try this for US regionalisms, *G*. I was 58% Dixie. Why that qualifies as 'barely' Dixie I'll never know. http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelli...ixie_quiz.html K Barrett |

But then we were in a ranch style area not an area with two story homes. Guess I will have to go try Kath's test. Growing up in WI I should not find a southern bias.

Wherever did you folks get this idea? It not only seems incredibly rude, in fact probably criminal, but highly wasteful as well. Probably could get someone shot as well in certain areas (including this one). |

That depends on whether you would be using bird shot or a larger calibre I
suppose... Kye. "P Max" wrote in message ... A shotgun blast might have been overkill, Steve! Cheers, Peter -- ) "Steve" wrote in message ...

Nor any bench of orchids, John!
Rat shot is a choice that some people opt for, Kye. A friend near Ballarat uses ratshot in his orchid house. He has a rat problem from time to time. The rats chew into the pseudobulbs and munch the developing tender spikes / flowers. Peter -- ) "John Varigos" wrote in message om... Either way, there would certainly be no mealy bugs left!

Hmmm! A cousin of mine on a farm up north has a ground level covered patio on
his house. His wife has garden beds just outside the patio. Bandicoots were getting into her gardens at night & uprooting plants, so he sat on the patio one night with his 12g shotgun. Got the bandicoot all right. Bits of it backscattered all over the patio & the ceiling over it. Says it took ages to clean up, & wife demanded future bandicoots be trapped, not shot.
