Look what I found:

The following statement appeared in an agricultural bulletin in 1928, about 20 years after it was first introduced in Florida as a forage crop. "Kudzu is not without disadvantages. It is slow and expensive in getting established, is exacting in requiring only moderate grazing and mowing, is deceptive about its real yield, especially to those who do not know it well, and sometimes becomes a pest.

Found it here at Kudzu - The Vine. Interesting article, some great pics. And lots of links to other Kudzu-related stuff.

"Sometimes becomes a pest". Heh.

True dat

I would point three things out. 1. Apparently, not active enough, 2. Mr. Johnston brought this on himself by telling them, and, yes, 3. It IS always difficult when you're sitting a neighbor's dog and an alligator eats it. Always.

Point 3. is just so true!


Referring to the news story of another dog-meets-alligator incident, Steve H. at Hog On Ice points out that Florida's alligator plague continues. Although it's indisputable that Florida has more than a few alligators around, oddly enough I've never seen one in the wild. Maybe I need to get out more.

I see over at Scribal Terror that another imported species is threatening Florida's turf. Someone has to respond so I've been working on my new business plan.


1. Capture Burmese pythons.

2.

3. Make lots of money.



Needs work but I'm getting there.

The genius in my plan rests in step 1, capturing the snakes. I plan to feed them giant African rats, then when they're full and really slow, game over. Grab 'em, throw 'em in a croker sack and Presto! Gots me some pythons.

Step 2 is a bit more complicated. Suggestions welcome.

Go fish.

Or have some potatos.

What's not to love about being a suthrener?

Just go look at this.


Now I'm wondering if that website's a spoof. Not exactly politically correct, poking fun at your proposed constituency.
