Re: Free form/Chaos Thread
krebs303 said:The new commander in Iraq hears that a Scottish regiment has a specialized field hospital that's doing fantastic things with the troops. He wants to know what is so special about the place, so he arranges a tour.
When he gets to the ward, it's full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness. He's perplexed, so goes up to the first bed and greets the soldier there.
The patient replies:
"Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As langs my airm."
The general is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient.
That soldier responds:
"Some hae meat an canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat an we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit."
Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the commander moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant:
"Wee sleekit, cowerin, timorous beasty,
O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi bickering brattle."
Now seriously troubled, the general turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, "Is this a psychiatric ward?"
"No, not at all," replies the doctor. "This is the Serious Burns unit."

For years I've loved lurking on this forum and this thread in particular, mainly thanks to the great posts by Krebs, so if this is it then I would like to say thank you very much to Krebs303 for so many brilliant pics and whatnot.

Re: Free form/Chaos Thread
(You non-tomato growers have absolutely no idea how much work goes into growing an actual and simple tomato.)
I can't get ahold of any horse manure, but do you think there is any way I can inject some steer manure into these tomato plants at this point? Is it too late?krebs303 said:
