"we demand.... a shrubbery!"

[straffo]

because of popular demand  :



A new lieutenent in the French Foreign Legion arrives at an isolated base in Algeria. As a corporal shows him is quarters, he asks the corporal, "The base is rather isolated, what do the men do for female companionship?"

The corporal replies, "On Fridays, they let us use the camels."

The lieutentent is disgusted, but says nothing. After a few weeks, however, the new officer is very lonely. He decides that if everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't he.

The next friday, the young lieutentent slinks over to the camel pens and, after looking around, drops his pants and starts humping a female camel. The camel is not amused and makes a huge uproar.

The same corporal comes in to investigate. "Lieutenent! What are you doing."

"Come on man," replied the embarresed officer, "You yourself told me we could use the camels on Fridays."

"Yes sir," replied the corporal. "But most of us just ride them into town."

I've heard that one before Straffo, but it's still very funny.

you know that all army in the world use and abuse acronim or abreviation ...

My question is : what is a B.M.C for the french army ?

a nice song to complete :

Dans la campagne de France,
J'avais't un campagnon.
Que j'aimais.
Il était mon ami, mon frère,
Comme une soeur dans mon coeur.
Je l'aimais.
Mort dans la rizière, la gadou-ou-e
Déchiqueté-e
Pulvérisé-e
Sur cette mine tu as sauté, tête brûlée.

Moralès, Moralès,

Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs.
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulais voyager, te voilà's éparpillé.
Je t'ai pleuré mon camarade
Versé des la-armes,
Loin des fe-emmes,
Et rien ne te remplaceront,
Ni la bière
Ni ma mère
Ni mon arme
Ni les dames
La femme est l'avenir des pommes
Comme dit Aragon, roi des cons.

Moralès, Moralès,

Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui as pris le pari de partir en confetti.

Et je te jure sur ta tombe,

Qu'un jour un monde,
Où la pureté triompheront!

Car l'ennemi règne ici bas,

Méchanceté-é-e
Brutalité-é-e
Et les dealers
Et les chômeurs, les communiss, psychanalyss,
Tous des pédés dégénérés! (subversif) - Autant pour moi -

Moralès, Moralès,

Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs,
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulait batt' des r'cords,
A 20 ans déjà t'es mort.

But what does that have to do with Moose's Shrubbery?

[Airhead]

straffo can sniff out truffles.

I took this photo from our shade garden.

You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never

pass through this wood...   alive.



One that looks nice.



And not *too* expensive.

I can't believe that a thread about gardening doesn't have 200 replies from the limeys.

My new house had no front lawn. After our last few rainstorms I discovered the secret...

Let the weeds grow thick, then mow.

If its short and green, its a lawn!

[Monk]

Astro turf and plastic tulips, the house has never looked better.

At Wal-Mart they sell Bermuda grass seed right next to the Rye and Fescue grass seed.

I'm betting that they don't consider Bermuda to be the vile evil weed that it is.

It is used on many many golf courses in the US, and around the world.

Now go and pray for forgiveness you blasphemer!;)

Man you sound like that neighbor of mine who has a million dandelions on his lawn. When the wind blows and I see all those seeds landing on my grass I could kill him.
