Re: Why Not Replace Your Plants With Styrofoam?

What's irking you, simply delights me. When I drive past a house with a Lego garden, I glow with a smile of condescending satisfaction on my punim. "People do the darndest things!" There's really not enough pure silliness in the world and we have to take it where we can find it.

And by the way. Your mother didn't only raise you to be polite. She raised you to wire plastic flowers to plants so they'd alway look pretty. Exquisitely silly and delightful.
