Have you ever been in the kale forests of Ketchikan?

[taterguy]

They're magnificent.

Fucking magnificent.


Trust me.

[Ron Obvious]

1. No

But I did once tour the Broccoli bushes of Borneo. Bloody marvelous.

[pinboy3niner]

2. There is no one as fanatical as a Borneo-again Broccolistian

[LiberalEsto]

4. Except a Borneo-again Broccolistian's stalker

[valerief]

3. Can they match the Okra Orchards of Ocala? nt

[taterguy]

6. Never been to Ocala

Should I?

[valerief]

8. No. It's in Florida. Don't go there or Ocalahoma.

Don't even eat okra. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

[panader0]

5. It's not kale, it's arugula.

[taterguy]

7. You would know

[valerief]

9. This isn't a joke thread? nt

[panader0]

10. Arugula,also known as eruca sativa-- heh heh..

[taterguy]

11. What's so funny about the kale forests of Ketchikan?

[Baitball Blogger]

12. No.

But, nothing compares to the seven sacred Marizipan pools of Pandalucia in the southern providence of Pandora.

[kwassa]

13. I've only seem them from afar.

Never got out of the city proper. Only saw them in the distance.



oops. I found a good picture of the kale.

[taterguy]

15. You went all the way to Ketchikan and didn't go to the kale forests?

That's like going all the way to Rodanthe and not experiencing a night there.

I try not be judgmental but that's some fucked up shit, in my not so humble opinion.

[kwassa]

17. well, I drove through Rodanthe, too. My night was spent in Buxton.

I will not tell you about it.

[taterguy]

18. Who goes through Rodanthe on their way to Buxton?

Someone whose map reading skills are a bit deficient.

[kwassa]

26. My skills are deficient? I suggest you learn the Outer Banks. Route 12.

The only way to avoid going through Rodanthe is to take a Confederate submarine.

[taterguy]

28. I know Route 12 well enough to know you should avoid it north of Rodanthe

It's prone to frequent washouts from storms.

Best to get to Buxton from the south.

Unless you're a fucking idiot.

[kwassa]

29. That involves boats. Blackbeard sank one attempting that.

and the fucking hurricanes.

Ocracoke was flooded out one time we were there.

Of course anyone that mixes okra and coke deserves that.

[taterguy]

31. Blackbeard sank his boat for insurance money

The folks who run ferries to Hatteras aren't that hard-up for cash.

Yet.


ps: Any fucking hurricane that impacts points south of Buxton will also have a negative impact on points north of Buxton.

[kwassa]

32. Not the hurricane I was in.

Alex. 2004.

Tropical storm lurking offshore suddenly took a left turn and built up to a Category 1. No one was evacuated because it happened too fast.

We were in Avon on that trip. Most of it hit us and south of there. Most of the people flooded out were locals on the soundside around Hatteras. Hundreds of campers on Ocracoke lost their cars to flooding.

We just had a lot of wind and shaking for 8 hours. Mostly wiped out screen porches and took a few shingles off on the ocean side. This hurricane made the news nowhere. I did get the commemorative T-shirt.

[taterguy]

33. Did you know that no hurricane has ever made landfall in Ketchikan?

That's because it's in fucking Alaska.

[kwassa]

35. but you have to deal with the raging kale forest fires.

leaves you nothing but a bunch of toasted kale chips.

[taterguy]

36. Difficult for something that grows underwater to catch on fire

[kwassa]

37. Underwater petroleum deposits.

hard to make the kale sushi wraps when the stuff is burned up.

[taterguy]

38. Who said anything about plutonium?

Err, petroleum.

[olddots]

14. Willy Wanker and the Carob Factory

was filmed there wasn't it ?

[taterguy]

16. Don't know, haven't seen it

And can't find a listing for it on IMDB.

Did you just make that up to mess with us?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. No but, One time I went to The Ramp Festival.

and it was spectacular.

Fucking spectacular.

Trust ME !!!

[Arugula Latte]

20. I have been to beautiful Solla Sollew

on the banks of the beautiful river Wah-hoo, where they never have troubles -- at least very few.

[struggle4progress]

21. Oooh! Famous worldwide for its record number of non-sightings of Bigfoot!

[taterguy]

22. Bigfoot's not into kale

Or so I've heard

[pinboy3niner]

23. Probably has big corns

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. No, but I've been to the great grey-green greasy Limpopo river,

all set about with fever trees. The fever trees are magnificent but the river is smelly and full of crocodiles.

[taterguy]

25. No crocodiles in Ketchikan

But plenty of other things that can kill you.

[UTUSN]

27. Is there *anywhere* I would go... (fill in the rest) n/t

[raven mad]

30. Only once!

The ferry I was on had a longer than usual layover in Ketch so we got to go walkabout.

Fairyland for sure!

[petronius]

34. I've been in the Kelp Forests of California - vastly superior to those

kale woodlands (I won't dignify them with the name "forests&quot ...
