Richard's Poor Almanac by Richard Thompson for October 17, 2022

Scrofulous, a great word to describe some dogs I have seen.

Nice detail, with Mr. Green Thumb’s wooden leg!

I actually owned that tank-killer tea rose!

The more toxic variant of impatience (“Is there someone else I can talk to?”) is intolerens, a/k/a Karenflower: “I demand to speak to your manager;” “You can’t do that here;” “I’m calling the police; who do you think they’ll believe, you or me?”

Mayday use of military and experimental plants to muck up the Commander’s wife areas of their gardens in Gilead and green zones in general. Essentially psychological warfare outside of the red-hot zones of direct civil war 2 conflict post 2033.

STALKING PETUNIA will creep around and show toothy blossoms and grows fast.

TANK KILLER TEAROSE has large thorns and grows into thick winding coiled masses that are a logistical nightmare for tank columns.

NECROTIZING FUCHSIA is one of the more dangerous being that the infection can be spread by touch or inhaling spores. Causing major outbreaks. It looks and smells exactly like regular normal fuchsia.

SCROFUOOUS TERRIER PLANT Sheds constantly and those move away from the plant on thousands of cilia to create more with the stench of infected skin.

Love the Tank-Killer Tea Rose. My uncle and aunt used to have tea roses lining their driveway, and I always thought they were admirable little blooms. This new version is indeed suitable for driveways accommodating tanks!
