I have no fear for West.
We had a middle school bus driver who tolerated us, for a brief season, having jagger fights on the bus. We would load up and then throw them at each other. As long as we cleaned ‘em all up by the time we got to school he didn’t care.
OK, I think you mean those little prickle ball thingies. I thought jagger bushes referred generically to any picker bushes, like even blackberry bushes. xsmommy, a ruling on the proper use?
You get the idea. They’re a type of jagger.

Did you see this on NRO yesterday?
Listen after Joe Wilson yells out “you lie!” Obama says that federal conscience protections will be unchanged.
I can sympathize with Netanyahu-
It must be difficult to maintain
The rictus of a smile for Obama-
From a scowl he must abstain
If I were Bibi, I might not care
What face I showed to him-
While he plays golf in Lalaland
The outlook is really grim
That “rational” Iranian madman-
That temperate holocaust denier
Wants to bring on the 12th Imam
By setting the world on fire
As I was coming down the trail in the woods earlier, I saw two people quietly hide their vehicles behind an abandoned summer place up the road and dash into the vacant house next door. They just came out onto the deck in robes, hugging and giggling-a man and a blonde woman, and it is definately not the realtor who is listing that house. So I guess the house is being used for a trysting place-interesting...
jaggers are those little things that would become imbedded in your socks and your clothes! they were not balls of any sort! and you had to pick them out bc if you just washed them, they’d stay in!
sociopathic liar on stilts.
ROR! GMTA!
my first thought was, well of course she’d be blonde... LOL!
[don’t tell Ti i said that ; )]
Jaggers sound like the little thorns on dewberry bushes-those get in your socks, too.
I think it is a howl that the lesbian love nest is being used now as a trysting house for a woman and a MAN!
lesboans moved out?
Your definition of “jagger” is much stricter than mine. Whether it sticks on your clothing or threatens to scratch your arms up, it’s all jaggerbushes.
Oh, yeah-they’ve been gone for well over a year, and the house is for sale-they moved to Vermont, because there is no work here, and Blondie the dyke is from there-maybe they got married-it is legal there, isn’t it?
At any rate, the house is way overpriced so that a total of three people have looked at it since April, and there have been no tourists here to use it any more, lesbian or otherwise. So I suppose turning it into a trysting house helps make the payments...
the lezzies moved out? broke up? can’t be.
they are paying a loveshack fee??? and yes it’s legal in VT
