[Having a loss sucks. Having a loss that keeps you from mentioning the things you are the guardian of sucks even more. And because of his inability to speak the "t" word, the Lorax has been forced to try and think up other similes.]

What's your guys' opinion on... plant life?

Plant life? In general? Gosh, well, I don't have a problem with it. Pumpkins can be particularly frustrating, though.

[shortishandbossy]

What's wrong with pumpkins?

[unvarnished]

I personally like it, and it's a shame that it's so hard to find in big cities.

[shortishandbossy]

Aren't there rooftop gardens and such?

[hard_talker]

[being from a time when the Earth Day/Green movement was just getting rolling, Mark is all over this]

Plant life? It's important. Good for the environment, all that shit. I mean - what, are we supposed to say "no, I hate plants, fuck 'em"? Because that's about fifty levels of dumb.

[shortishandbossy]

You'd be surprised at the number of people that don't care.

[A big part of him doesn't want to respond to this, that old feeling of resentment is bubbling away and he knows he really has to get over that. The Lorax was right, he knows that]

Starting the lectures early this time, huh Moustache?

[shortishandbossy]

Who said anything about lectures? I'm just weedin' out the weeds. [and you're still one of 'em buddy]

[wizard_redfive]

They're nice. I mean, plants are more my sister's forte than my own, but that doesn't mean I don't like them or see the value in them. We couldn't live without them, at least not on Earth.

[shortishandbossy]

Earth? Never heard of it. We can live without 'em here, but it's not a pleasant experience.

[whistles_the_blues]

Hm. Can't say I've ever really thought about it. Can't say I have a problem with plants though.

[shortishandbossy]

Good. They don't do anything but help.

[abittooandrogynous]

It generally smells nice, unless its something that's supposed to not spell nice.

[ Sorry, he's blind- ]

There are a few monsters that fall under the category, too. Some people don't like that, but they're generally rather kind.

[shortishandbossy]

...Not spell nice? [whoops he doesn't know anything about blind people. Good job Lorax]

I'm sorry for Danny. This was an actual episode in his series.

[schrodingersghost]

As long as it isn't trying to take over the world and turn all the humans into chlorozombies and plant food? I don't care.

[shortishandbossy]

...I didn't even think that was possible.

Because I need this CR in my life

[inafadingcrown]

A most curious question. [But there's a smile in her voice.] There is beauty and power in growing things, and wisdom too, for those who know to listen.

heheheh

[shortishandbossy]

That's the best answer I've heard so far.

[allthelinks]

Vegetables are tasty. [A pause.] Grass isn't, though.

[shortishandbossy]

Grass isn't meant to be eaten by humans.

[originalcopy]

Meh.

[shortishandbossy]

"Meh"? Just "meh"?

[gentleidealist]

Without the Great Tree, my planet would die... so I'd say plant life is pretty important.

forever!

[shortishandbossy]

Great Tree? Don't have that in my world.

[heliotroping]

Hmm... They're very important, but they're not my life's passion?

[shortishandbossy]

Understandable.

[bezazzled]

[That's... a weird question.]

I don't even think I have an opinion on plants.

[shortishandbossy]

Why not?

[clovertails]

Global warming!

[shortishandbossy]

...What do you mean?

[lioneyed]

I'm rather fond of them - both for their intrinsic beauty and place in the world, and for all the benefits they give us as sustenance or medicine.

[shortishandbossy]

Mhmm. They are pretty helpful for you guys, huh?
