I never believed there was a war on Christmas until I read this post... and now I'm enlisting!

Paypal-ing you in a few minutes (as I passive-aggressively do each month until you offer a paid subscription option.) Now that I think about it, maybe neither one of us understands how business works? You give away awesome art while I insist on paying for it... Is Haterade an NFT now?

Biodegradable peanuts are an anathema to us orchid growers. We use regular ones a the bottom of pots to improve drainage. Making a mistake using biodegradable ones gives a gooey mess that suffocates roots. To heck with the environment; orchids rule. I will now try baking them, dust them with fertilizer and see what happens. Thanks for the tip!

Lest I be responsible for suffocated roots: even after baked, they'll still degrade into an ooze if you get 'em wet! I washed my leftovers down the sink. I remain amazed / impressed at your ability to grow and care for orchids, as I am a serial plant killer.

This is, quite possibly, one of best zingers I've ever come across. It shall be forevermore immortalized in my personal lexicon and used at every opportunity. You are a gem.
