SNAAAAAAAKE

It's so strange having such long evenings, now - I can come home, pick Whitney up on the way, doze about for an hour and a half then get up and realize that I would normally still be waiting for a bus underground somewhere. I'm beginning to see the advantages of dragging oneself into the office at a normal hour.

Anyway, I've been using that extra time well - do you see these bastards?



This is how they work.



Now I'm not opening that group of events ever again.

It is somewhat telling that "goathead" is but one of the colloquial names for the thing (and by far the most widely-used one around here,) with others including "puncturevine" and "caltrop." Basically what I'm saying is it should be an Etrian Odyssey enemy.

Gravel is fine, though. Gravel doesn't get you with anything like that, unless it happens to be a gravel trail that's right next to a stretch of grass or something.

And I eagerly look forward to the sudden furry takeover in CT3, then. :)

Oh, and would you mind if I went ahead and gave this lovely edit of yours the Teogifts treatment?

Please do, I'd love to see it up there :) Give me a minute to attempt some feet.

I think a better name for that plant would be "F***myfootaaagh".

Can do! I eagerly await, then.

I prefer to call them the reason why I'm avid enough about barefoot running that I laugh at hard surfaces and even things like gravel, and even a half-marathon on horrible chipseal-esque rough pavement (though that probably could have been handled more wisely in hindsight) but even I will absolutely never go anywhere near soft, inviting-looking grass.

(Their utter omnipresence anywhere there isn't a trail and even some places there are is also a bit of a problem for local bicycling enthusiasts, just as an aside.)

Well... all things foul and dangerous, the lord God made them all.

I can't really draw feet (but this doesn't make them unique among my artistic ability). Here it is!

Fantastic. :) Thank you!

"My, what pink feet you have."
"All the better to prance gaily with!"
