No Nazi demo in my town tomorrow...
...and Pussy Riot free.
Is that REALLY too much to ask for my weekend?!?
Will a hug help? Vain? Sounds like you need one.
On the bright side, at least your demonstrators will leave. My family is Ashkenazi, and we had anti-semites living next door for 20 years. If we even walked on the sidewalk outside their house (which is PUBLIC PROPERTY), they'd call the cops on us.
And that's when you tell the cops - on an anonymous tip - they have a meth lab in their basement. Do they? Probably not, but speaking as a guy who interned in a sheriff's department, law enforcement loves having excuses to check in on people like that.

We did call the cops on them; they were cultivating weeds to lower our property values.
THISTLE. They were cultivating THISTLE to lower our property values. And cutting off buds and replanting them hoping that our lawn would be gross.
Dick move. If I'd been there, I'd have sewn their lawn with cannabis seeds. I may loath the war on pot, but if you can use it to your advantage? By all means, do so.

Damn right they do! Did I ever tell you guys about the time my London apartment was raided by the police? Came home to find them going through the kitchen drawers (they'd already been in my underwear drawer). Fkin pigs.

Oh, we (and the entire rest of the neighborhood) sic'ed them with a breach of contract violation. Thistle is not an approved plant to grow in the neighborhood where grew up because it's an invasive "alien" species, and will destroy native wildlife. They got seriously fined and had to dig up every thistle and replant native flora themselves.

Fuck da police, I tell you what.
Seriously, though, it's fairly ironic that I interned for them considering that I'm, well, me.

Ha! I love a happy ending. Did you get to smoke a cigar and drink lemonade while watching the fascists toil? It's what I'd have done.
EDIT: Although apparently "The novel's central character, Bill Masen, dismisses the idea that they are a naturally occurring species, or that they are extraterrestrial in origin". If he was right about them not being extraterrestrial then that joke about "invasive alien species" doesn't work, but as their origin is never actually revealed, I stand by it.
Pants was referencing Science Fiction Double Feature, the opening song of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Probably because his life experience doesn't contain any other time with more directly Triffid-related media.

Well in that case I think we've ALL learned something today. Except maybe Dashing.
I did wonder if it was more well-known in Britain (and the ol' colonies) than in the US.

You make it sound like Triffids are an entire genre or something.

It has two books, a movie, two TV versions, a few radio adaptations, another film in production, and they grant their name to an Australian band apparently.

Well, strictly speaking, then, Puzzlebox is wrong in believing that the Triffids that spit poison and kill are the only types of Triffids, then. Well, unless the band does that, too.

I'm pretty sure all Australians do that, actually.
Oh. Well. Um...
To be fair, in the US you really are most likely to run into Triffids through references in things that became more popular(like Rocky Horror), or by being a major anglophile or sci-fi literature nerd.
I'm pretty sure all Australians do that, actually.
Well, that would follow with what I know of Australia: everything, including the house pets, is poisonous and their guns were all melted down. Using vegemite as an evolutionary accelerant, in a matter of decades the Australians evolved poison spitting glands as a defensive technique.
That's actually significantly more bad ass than anything ever, except for lightsabers.

Question. Are you Jason or is Jason the name of your idiot friend?
You don't know Jason's an idiot yet! You haven't herd his answer to the question.

Like triffids?
That's the only kind there is!

I always thought it was just something for bored American goths and geeks to go to.
I meant the Wyndham novel Day of the Triffids.

It's warm on the northwest coast? That's a relief. I bet it gets freezing as soon as I arrive.
Oh neat, this is a cool pla-
Oh shit.
Oh HELL NAW.
EDIT:
Never mind. How fast did I beat that boss, again? Man, I'm DYNAMITE.
