    Its 3:45 on Wednesday, and he just started shopping for plants. My buddy is the manager but he's too much of a wuss to ask him any questions...

    All you stalkers get out there now!!!!

    mateo, I'd suggest the not-too-subtle approach:

    Sir, this plant is a perfect perennial, but it will need watering after November 1st.

    What kinds of plants is he buying? I'd be really jazzed if they were indigenous to Texas.

    Go ask him, "Do you plan on rooting those plants in Houston?"

    Doing some domestic stuff (i.e. buying cartload full of groceries, buying plants) gives the impression of keeping his roots here in Houston not uprooting.

    Take heart Rock fans, he may very well be just posturing but really intends to stay.

    Otherwise, all this honeydews (honey do this, honey do that) is another case of ASTHMA (ask my wife). Oops, j/k.

    This "dead zone" has us sicko posters pretty desperate for any kind of action...groceries, spy cameras, plants, shrubs. Or if none of that actually exists we'll manufacture something....... [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Ask him, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

    Then respond to his answer. "Oh, those trees only grow in Houston. If you move them anywhere else they wither and die."

    He probably just thought that money grows on trees.

    "Hmm Mr. Dream, I see you're looking for a plant! If you don't mind me asking where are YOU going to be planted next year?"

    He bought a bunch of riverbirch trees, some shrubs, and some bamboo, all of which are fairly long-term growth items...hopefully a good sign.

    Stalker mode off. The "dead zone" has really turned this board into a spyfest.

    Well, if hakeems buys a Herb(Mota) plant, then the Rockets have agreed with Sacramneto, to a Sign & Trade for Webber to Houston and Hakeem to Sacramento!

    Hakeem just wants to get off on the right foot with the Kings players and give them a nice gift.

    can anyone compete with THE rockHEAD?!!

    c'mon people, if you're gonna spot Dream at work, you have to have your question ready and the digi cam set to take pics... now everyone, let's start practicing...

    Co-worker: "There's Hakeem!"
    You: "quick get my digi cam, my question is memorized!"

    you must memorize your ONE question. You have to respect his space, so just have ONE question ready... then... you get to the nearest PC with internet access and scoop the bbs!!!!

    Okay rockHEAD,
    Chill out!
    Getting a little full of ourselves aren't we?

    You may end up very wrong in the final result. Realistically, A-large-one is just posturing.

    out

    or... Yes, these are money trees. Money trees that will only grow in Houston, take them anywhere else and they will wither away and retire..I mean expire.
