Tomato Nation has been an evil, evil addiction for me for a long time, but now it's just enabling.  In her gifts section (oh, irony, as I was just making a gift list for the holidays), she listed Uncommon Goods.  They carry a pomegranate pendant, as well as other cool things.  While I like the plethora of possibilities that it offers for other people, tempting me like that is just not cool ...

I'm touched by your faith, but they also have a magic wand! And a frog prince pendant! And, and, and ...

BAH.

Because you need fertility and abundant crops?

Well, abundant crops are never a *bad* thing ...

But, actually, I like the overall symbolism of the pomegranate as the fruit of knowledge. I have a thing for knowledge.

Eh, that depends on whether the only potential crop is mold... Course, you can always hope that BO's plant comes back to life. This time evil.

On behalf of my housekeeping, I resent that.

And, dude. SHE NAMED THE PLANT AFTER OUR ESTEEMED PRESIDENT. It was already evil.

Hey, didn't say you had any mold NOW. Just an absence of any alternative growth. Or is there a plant somewhere that I missed?

She did? But... it was a tree. Why would you name a tree Shrub?

Well, all right, point. The cat doesn't need to sprout, so I'll let it go.

And, she didn't. She named it George Herbert Walker Bush, and called it Herbie.

You take a moment to ponder that, now ....

Unless you can somehow graft wings to her...

Course, I think naming ANY plant is weird, so the weirdness only goes uphill from there.

AIM?

plant-naming isn't always weird... I have a long ivy-like (somethingo somthingus?) plant in my kitchen and her name is Rapunzel!

you realize you're a little bit evil, right?

Just to make things a *little bit worse* ... they have a whole LINE.
