Don’t let facts get in the way of a good lie. Read the linked article.

And let us not forget that tomatoes were once thought to be DEADLY a sure fire pizzen which would stop you ded in ur tracks.
Let me guess, the Orlando Weekly is a free paper filled with ads for escort services.
Hell I thought they were talking about guns, cuz guns got that evil demon in them you know that makes people go crazy and start shootin’ folks all wild and out of their mind and everything.
I can't stand "today's tomatoes". I grew up in Iowa in the 50's and we always had great tomatoes right out of the garden and the ones we didn't eat raw were put up in Mason jars for later.
Here in Florida, the soil isn't right to produce a decent tomato (and, believe me, I've tried)....and the ones you buy at the grocery store have been genetically 'adjusted' to have thicker skins, so they ship and keep better, but they are only slightly tastier than cardboard.
Heck, I thought George W Bush and McDonald's were the current 'demons of choice'.
If you ever make it to Fairhope AL (across Mobile Bay from Mobile) stop and see the 'Tomoato Lady' at the corner of Fairhope Ave and Church St (i think it is). She has a knack for finding the ones that taste like 'the old days'.
"If Johnny has three *joints and he smokes two of them, how many joints will he think he has left?
* Come on...it was the 80's and they still called them joints/doobies/numbers back then.
What part of Florida are you in? Each County has a cooperative extension office which should be able to tell you how do grow a decent tomatoe. It can be done but a lot of prep work is required. You might try container gardening at first so you don’t bust the bank buying soil.
If you give up on tomatoes you can always grow okra. Which will grow to the size of a Winnebago if left on the vine.
Do you suppose some fiend may come up with a ketchup gun???
With the notable exception of “the swimmer”, you’re dead on. A meme I can get behind.
It worked good and my tomato plants 'monstered out'. I had little green tomatoes growing all over the place and we even got to taste a few that ripened.
Within the span of just a few days, some kind of fungus/virus/who-knows-what hit my plants and they just wasted away.
The Bay County Ag Extension office person that I talked to said (paraphrasing) "Yeah, that happens in this area".
That sure solved my problem (in that same efficient manner in which government solves any problem)./sarc
Pot heads crack me up. The excuses these clowns come up with to be stoned and lazy are just as funny as those old propaganda movies.
Who lets these suits talk? Today’s pot is not different than your grandfather’s pot. It might be stronger — that’s what selective breeding is for. But No it will not addict you, harm you, cause you to go insane. That is what we used to call a Lie, back in the old days.
The only people who tell you this stuff are people who’ve gotten jobs enforcing pot laws. Fairly easy work, fairly good pay. They’re very interested in preserving the status quo, and who could blame them?
Obviously, busting pot smokers is way easier and safer than busting real drug users, just like writing traffic tickets is way easier and safer (and more lucrative) than catching real criminals.
Those "Pot smokers are terrorists" Superbowl commcercials were produced by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. They also wrote the DARE program. For a clue about what's going on here, google "Robert Wood Johnson Foundation" + "Clinton Health Care Task Force", or "universal health care".
