Papayamon,
here is one for you to have fun with on your trip to see Mr. Robin
call it American Gold ?

Martin, Is this another of your tricks? Or is it just a camera effect?

Thats for papyamon , he can take it to Mr. Robn for a good laugh along with the flower fig.
I used gold enamel paint and a toothpick to apply and then took picture with camera.
The figs on tree are mostly yuck tasting now so no waste.

i'll pitch it with a straight face, along with my tales of foot-long grasshoppers.  :).

Martin, be careful, too much of that stuff, and we may loose faith in you.
Something like that has been said about TYTY by other posters.

Heck, (somewhere) I remember of a picture of [super-hardy]
figs being harvested by an Eskimo (dressed up in fur), way up
north in Alaska, with the surrounding landscape being
nothing but frozen ice! Who would believe that?

No, to meet the TyTy requirements, the fig will need to be the size of a basketball, and Martin will have to wear a bikini while demonstrating it.

You guys are too much! Thanks for keeping the pot stirred!

Martin, have you been feeling okay lately?  You stop this right Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :))

Run, Martin, Run...
Head for them hills ... up there ...
This time, real rocks may be thrown at you...

(being funny)

Gorgi,
im still huffin and puffin from the last run with the flower fig.  ; )

Was gonna do  Money Fig with nice green aloe vera gel that im sure would have made inside of fig look real juicy but i left it alone.

Oh i was looking in the cabinets today to use something, kids used all the sprinkles, then i found the paint !

I did all this actually to help PAPAYAMON for his trip to Mr. Robins house to have fun , i actually emailed him first and sent him a picture of that flower fig then i posted here for fun afterwards.

Then i thought about the LSU Gold or the American Gold Standard for him as well to take on his trip to have a little fun with.

I figure hey why not lighten things up here a bit and hopefully i did !
I promise to always fess up .
Still have some idea's but i wait till next growing season as im running out of figs !
So no more funnin till then i promise,  ; wink wink .

i'm gonna pitch this as absolute truth and get mr. row ben's reaction on video camera. i'm going to bring 3 or my cameras and set up for an interview, if he'll do it. i'll pretend this is serious journalism. we'll see how far i get or if he can come up with a better lie.

You'd better watch out because James may have some trick of his own up his sleeve. He may be a Cajun but them Cajuns are not as dumb as they are portrayed on TV or in the movies. Ax me how I know.
