Gorilla Growing Hops?

[cheezydemon3]

Except hops don't look anything like pot.

......even to someone who has grown both, there are serious similarities, but do you really expect some do-good nosey moron to know what pot looks like?

And Hops are actually closely related, and look JUST like pot in vine form.

This. They are close enough that some naive individual could confuse hops for Devil's Crabgrass

Especially if you are sneaking in early or late, looking around suspiciously......planting something......


It could be a rose bush and someone would call the vice squad.

I think the issue with dogs and hops may not be as bad as we're putting it. I agree that they are poisonous, but my dogs have avoided all the poisonous plants we've grown thus far. The real danger lies in disposal of our brewing byproducts. When we toss trub with hops in it on top of spent grain, then that's a recipe for dogs to eat it. Even our french bulldog, which puts everything in her mouth, steered clear of the foxglove my wife had planted on the balcony. It's twofold, we need to plant responsibly (ie, not in the dog park, but on the fringe of a city park, probably OK) and we need to be responsible as dog owners and make sure they aren't grazing on plants all over the place.

Our apartment complex has small planters in between each of the garage doors that have these really feeble vines growing there. I'm think I might just plant a couple of rhizomes and see what happens. Heck, they've already strung the twine up the wall. Could be fun.

Your whole post is so wrong, I don't know where to begin.........


SO.....you are a doggy racist? either you like dogs or you don't. Please don't racially profile them.

Gorillas are common in your parks? If so, swing away. Mine would have to be squirrell gardening, and that makes little sense.

OH! You don't actively hate greyhounds! That is um......refreshing..

Spelling's a bitch... Especially with this ridiculously complex language. Affect vs Effect= RAVEN Drop the R and Affect is a Verb Effect is a Noun. Silly language..

It's much easier to remember the difference between affect and effect when you remember that "affect" is an "action"

Thanks, been looking for something like that for years!

Awesome.

I never take Grammar Nazi offensively. If someone says, "Hey, Grammar Nazi..." I hear it as, "Hey, educated guy...."

We live in a country where freedoms extend past one's own and into the impediment of the freedoms of others. "I am free to make someone else less free because I am free to do so!" We've someone made a society based on a circular argument (which lend me to believe that God really CAN make a rock too heavy for Himself to lift). Basically the only time authorities should be called by third party is when they see with their own eyes someone get hurt, or about to get hurt. I even regret the time I called the NYPD because pants-throwing guy next door was screaming "Help Me!" (yeah... turns out... just crazy) /rant

DEAR GAAAAAWD!!!!!

That took like 14 posts before a grammar Nazi ended my misery.

I read the title, knew what was up, but was still thinking "There better be a damned good picture of a hairy primate tending some god damned rhizomes, or I'm gonna rip someone..."



Lol.


Cool idea. My biggest worry is that some do-gooder is sure to think you are growing POT and call the cops on you.

Carry on.

As for the hops, can't see a whole heck of a lot of downside here. You didnt have hops before, so worst case scenario is youve lost nothing.

Doesnt sound like there is too much worry of dogs eating the hops either... I think they only think to eat the things when they are covered in something good tasting, like wort.

Excellent! My 6/7th grade English teacher was about 6-and-a-half feet tall and weighed about 270 lbs. He used to make us recite things while we pretended to be an animal of his choosing. I can still recite the 23 form-of-be verbs and yes, I was a squirrel. Grammaticate On!

............are you proposing restricting my grammar nazi rights?

If so.....I respect your freedom to do so! (sorry, couldn't quite decipher all of that!)

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Ha, it was about the dogooders thinking hops are pot. If there was justice in the world, a person who fails to mind their own business (except in cases of bodily harm or clear and present safety issues) would develop hemorrhoids. Thats right. You heard it here.

Thank you to the both of you, that is some funny sh*t.

OH!!!! My apologies. Had you but clarified that you are an equal opportunity hater sooner, we could have avoided this whole silly mess!


What you need is a toy yorkie runt with psychic abilities (to know when you want it or not).

I find that big dogs seem more "there", or in your case more "annoying" merely because they are big.

The best behaved big dog will still accidentally bump things, will be conspicuous even when sitting still, etc.

A toy yorkie runt is barely noticeable when in a full panic, the only drawback being that you have to make sure not to step on it.
