do you think Atticus' style of showing ignorance when calling someone ignorant is intentional, or organic?

Why on earth would you encourage a sock to whiff? I invented posting that Faulkner wrote more than one book, dumbass. And technically, calling someone a castrated retard is not equivalent to calling them ignorant.

funny you should say that. voluntary castration is one of the things the DA put on the table as part of my plea bargain for this latest misunderstanding. if I go through with it I guess I'd have more time to read, or at least I'll probably spend more time on the articles in what I do look at.

Tough question to answer without a review of your inventory.

In other news, I might be in SF next week. I know you'll all wait on baited breath for me to verify. I'll keep you posted.

Character? No.

Now, Spanky, you're a delightful little boy!

Depends. Are the pages stuck together?

My Zinnias seem to be recovering from their bout with powdery mildew. The Hibiscus are doing great. New flowers every day. The Impatiens, Begonias, even the Marigolds seem to be doing well. I think maybe I planted a little early this year. The only thing that doesn't seem to be doing well are the Celosias. They looked good for a while, but now their Blooms are faded and they don't seem to be producing new ones.

Are you trying to force pollenation that way you told me about?

Nice try, but it doesn't have that sense of innocent wonder.

We have a real powderly mildew problem with our peonies - what do you use?

Our garden is all organic, so I can't spray them with a fungicide. I've considered just cutting them to the ground and hoping they come back, but I suspect I'll lose several years worth of growth that way.

There is insufficient use of "It + be verb" "There + be verb" as well. This is something that makes it sound less like someone with severe autism. It is not really believable without the autism aspect. It is the autism aspect that makes it like that move with Peter Sellers. Were there any questions that had no question marks in them. I ask you.

It's sadly too hot to grow peonies down here, but saftey soap works well on all sorts of other stuff if you're trying to stay Organic. You might want to try it.

You'd probably get some rejuvination from cutting back.

I tried using some sort of organic fungicide. It didn't work. I tried using the hardcore chemical stuff. It didn't work. The powdery mildew just went away when the weather got hot and dry. I had thought the Zinnias were goners, but they're coming back. They still look pretty scaggly on the parts that were afflicted, though.

Whatever he has can't be faked. I just wanted to know if he dug flowers.
