A couldn't resist picking up a pachanoi at the garden store six weeks ago because it was showing signs of forming buds.

You know those really annoying websites that ask you to fill out a form but they won’t let you paste? So you have to (for example) carefully type a long bank account number by hand instead of just pasting it?
