Ngh.

Cordyceps has always wigged me out, as a genus.

That image is so...Moebius.

I don't know that I can see my way clear to drink tea that's eaten caterpillars.

[beaq.livejournal.com]

Huh.

mr?

Click through (4 pages). The comment just reminded me of the comic. Help me rewrite it one day, and we won't make you drink the tea. (There's cordyceps tea? Why?)

[eub.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't see that there was more.

Aaaaagh!

Yes, that comic is very remindable here.

You know, has jinian ever tried to enlist you to do Jack Chick tracts concerning invasive weed species? You would suit excellently.

Why the tea: it's medicinal.

[beaq.livejournal.com]

Chick tracts! How squee! I bet we could even get that funded, maybe a little.

The grosser it is, the more medicinal. I think. Also, if it looks phallic, it makes you virile. Thousands of years of urban legends tradition support this claim! Just ask a rhinoceros.

My project.

[eub.livejournal.com]

It is.

[beaq.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to help in whatever way you find necessary, be it only spreading the word or keeping out of the way. :-)

Re: my mind is infected

[eub.livejournal.com]

Well, I got a request for the cut.
