Hmmm. Could it be that Alan is an *herbal* gardener?

He sounds more like Chauncey Gardiner, but without the inexplicably
profound part.

Not to mention my essay on how it came to be and why some of my clients
object to it.

PS: Stop mucking with the follow-ups. You're not half as clever as
your think you are.


Your forgot the hook.

I should think that gardeners would want all the muck they can get.

Maybe Alan doesn't compost. He probably just buys Miracle-Gro and
expects to get the results he sees on TV.

Naw, then he'd be to relaxed to argue with .sigs. He'd say "Oh mang,

contractor, yeah."

Well, what will happen?



Why should we tell you? I mean, you could always try it and see the results.

Oh, here is a new sig for you to pick an arguement with.

I don't think he can parse a complex sentence.

It's a good thing I only quoted a fragment of the sentence. At least he
has a chance.

I was going to say "comprehend" instead of "parse" but I started
giggling too hard.


It's baby steps he must take, parse today, understand next year.

Yes, of course Alan has severe insecurity issues, poor soul.

HE DOESN'T JUST HAVE ISSUES, HE HAS THE WHOLE SUBSCRIPTION.

But have you noticed that Alan has emerged as someone for CAL to talk
to, thus sparing us temporarily from having to go to the dry-cleaners
and say, "A little extra spritz on that part where the leg-humping
occured"?

I'm happy for them both, though. You know what they say, there's
someone for everyone.
