OK, here's a Texas plant, or part of, for y'all to mull over. The quarter is for comparison.

That's gonna be a tough one. Looks like a star.

Don,

I ain't got airy-an-idee what that sucker is, but if it's as nasty as it looks , I hope you keep it in Texas.

By the way there's a bunch of your dadburned ramidillas strayed up this way. Wish you'd come get the destructive little boogers!

Don, I'm thinking you've cut a "flower" or "sticker" part off of a cactus. But I'm not sure what kind of cactus. :-/

Jeff · July 25, 2002, 12:57:46 PM

Don, I'm glad you finally found that. It had to be hurtin. Was it in the computer chair cushion or inside yer jeans? ;)

Texas Ranger · July 25, 2002, 01:14:42 PM

Charlie, your close, I'll let it sit for a while for I give the answer, and Jeff B, they catch on your clothes and then let ya know about it when ya sit down in the truck. Get the things while I was hunting dove last year. It do hurt.

Noble, you have never tasted southwestern fare till ya had armadillo on the half shell. ;D

Jeff · July 25, 2002, 01:33:52 PM

Guess: Prickley Pear thorn.

Judgin' frum tha size, and tha large proboscis, I thought it was a Florida skeeter, rather than a Texas plant. ;D

Tom · July 25, 2002, 05:24:55 PM

I've been deep in the books and the long lost corners of the Texas internet searching for a picture that looks anything like that. Here is the best I've been able to come up with.

Horse Crippler
Echinocactus texenisis
Devils Pincussion

Am I close? :P

I thinks you have it Mr. Tom! Looks like it to me

Bro. Noble · July 25, 2002, 06:00:26 PM

If I had some way of saying it was a spider on Viagra without showing my name, I would; but I don't know how to do that so NEVER MIND

I'm sorry-----------that wasn't worth saying the first time! I got knocked off the net and didn't think it got posted.

I'm sorry-----------that wasn't worth saying the second time either.

Jeff · July 25, 2002, 06:31:08 PM

Yea, likely story. :D

Tom · July 25, 2002, 07:19:52 PM

Hey, did you notice that I used Noble's research for Texas Plants. Noble I didn't know you were so learned and famous. That's a pretty good site. Must have taken you a long time to put all that documentation together. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :-/

Jeff · July 25, 2002, 07:55:21 PM

QuoteNoble, you have never tasted southwestern fare till ya had armadillo on the half shell. ;D

So do you just slurp em down?

Bro. Noble · July 25, 2002, 08:03:04 PM

Don and Jeff,

I ate enough possom when I was a kid that I have no desire to eat anymore even if it's those imported hardshelled possoms from Texas.

Tom,

You shouldn't be so surprised that I'm so smart!!! I tried to tell you guys that I got a 90% on my IQ test.

Noble

CHARLIE · July 25, 2002, 09:48:32 PM

I think Tom got this one figured out, but I'll take partial credit 'cause I was technically correct and probably responsible for getting Tom searching in the right direction. I sure am smart... ??? ??? ???

Bro. Noble · July 26, 2002, 06:54:27 AM

Charlie,

It must be that July 21st thing!

Noble

Texas Ranger · July 26, 2002, 09:04:59 AM

Tom, ya got it son. The sticker lays close to the body of the plant with the one long viagra special sticking up at an angle, when it hooks, the whole thing comes loose.

Noble, I heard that viagra makes things happen a couple of times in a row! 8)

Like the 1st of June and the 1st of July.
