Apparently they make sure fig trees are pollinated? Which I learned from a Medical Disabilities Guidelines website so um... it also tells me that one of the most common medical conditions to affect fig caprifier's is pregnancy.
...
Uh.
Well then.

actually, i think what gets me most is the way they just say 'look up "fig caprifier" in the manual', as if that were just something so _obvious_.
like, what else would you do?

Oh I'm a derp, I totally missed half the point of your post. Now I see where the wasps come in.
Is that sort of like the dark underbelly of fig caprifying (lol, i've decided that's a word). Is it sort of like when therapists and their patients make babies? Everybody gives you side-eye and waits for the baby to see if it's waspy or not.

Guessing game, guys!
I just sent a pm that unwittingly included the line: 'Damn, that girl is slim, but she's full of spunk!' It referred to a regular forum user. +5 if you can guess which one!
Clue: It's a girl!

Mouse, close but no cigar. And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, clenched between the yellowing teeth of a beautiful, hilarious fauxbo (I just coined that term, btw, it means fake hobo, aren't I just the wonderfullest?)
I miss Dennis. I hope he's okay. I hope he smells nice.

dennis is trying to quit smoking, so hopefully he has not taken up cigars.
so now he either smells like someone who hasn't showered in a week, or like a tobacco store.

I'd never been on Reddit before yesterday. Today I found r/BritishProblems and am convinced that Halen wrote every single entry.
