I have 3 variants of oranges in my front yard, which people pillage all the time (P***es me off

) In my backyard I have kumquats, grapefruits, lemons, limes, and 2 other variants of oranges. The front yard I can SORTA deal with. When I find people in backyard I lose it, how dare they come in my backyard!

Gumpy folks have to stick together. It is nice to gripe in company with someone who is as grumpy as you are.

Beware of grumpy people in large groups.

I would love to have all that tropical fruit!!! I'm limited to the climate, which means rasberries, strawberries, black rasberries, and all the garden standards like peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers!! Try rocksalt loads, works great!!

I did not just advocate violence!!

Are we the only ones without a proper winter this year?

I snapped this a rather snowy winter some years ago. I don't envy the owners the job they had waiting for them.

I highly doubt either of them will buy a K-3!

At that point I am no longer worried about the paint on my car, that is a job for a flame thrower...

According to the Castle Doctrine, people should beware of a single grumpy old person whose fruit is being pilfered from the very tree branch under which it hangs. There's a reason it isn't an H&K3.

My fruit is a sour subject with me and so is the K-3

Bourbon, sir.

Isn't that the stuff you're supposed to mix with coke? Or with Coke? I'm never sure.

Of course, bourbon casks are nice for ageing Scotch in

Only have a Key lime in the back now, after battling the state of Florida about citrus canker (they destroyed untold thousands of backyard citrus trees in a futile attempt to control this disease). Lost a red grapefruit, pineapple orange, and Valencia orange in the battle. Planted the Key lime a couple of years ago when the state gave up and said it was OK to plant citrus again, if the plants came from certified canker-free sources.

Can't buy a K-3 until Hocir certifies them canker-free.

Some Philistines will mix anything with Coke (even -- <blech> scotch). Good bourbon (sippin' whiskey) ought not to be mixed with anything, except maybe the legendary Branch Water.

Can't buy a K-3 until Branch Water appears in Miami.
