Shhhh
Ours aren’t as big, but they are just as stinky...............
Believe me, you don’t have to ask!....................
If HP Lovecraft had imagined a fungus, it would be one of these ...
So it’s the first day of Covid panic (late March 2020, a Friday? IIRC).
I’ve filled a cart at opening at Costco, with a thousand of my closest friends in the most crowded Costco experience I’ve ever had. Which was interesting.
I’ve then moved on to Kroger for a few misc. pick up items. The store is completely picked over, no fresh veggies, no dairy, no fresh meat, no fresh bread. Fortunately they had the misc. stuff I needed.
While shopping this picked over store,
LOOK! Here’s a 5’ wide coffin cooler FULL of product!
Oh, it’s all Beyond Meat and similar stuff. Even in the Covid buying panic, no one wanted that crap.
I should have figured a stock shorting strategy then.
Schumer is behind me?!!!
Aka Democrats.
Several houses ago we had a shady spot in the yard that every spring erupted with unmistakably phallic mushrooms that, how to put this, exhibited clear signs of dripping excitement. They ”stood” about 6 or 8 inches high and sported a purplish cap.

Search “stinkhorn” images. A lovely assortment.
We had a clump growing up just around the corner from us... looked exactly like a hand with black fingernails coming up out of the ground. Ran back around the block to grab my phone to take a pic but some yard guys showed up and mowed it down just as I was rounding the corner!! Arrrggh!
