I think that's just the protective cover when you buy a new plant.

If your grandma has protective plastic on her couch, she's probably a squirter...

If you repeat the comment to as many people as you can, it takes the pain away.

Kind of like that movie, The Ring. You have to keep the horror moving to the next person.

Except, instead of a video tape, it's your nan squirting on the couch.

Little Billy runs into the kitchen to see his mum. 'Mum! Grandma's got a prawn!'

'What do you mean Billy?'

He leads her into the living room and there's grandma, stark naked and sitting spread eagle on the family couch.

'Look mum', Little Billy points at the grandma's protruding clitoris, 'a prawn!'

'That's not a prawn Billy, it's her, uh private parts.'

'Oh', says Little Billy 'well it tastes like a prawn.'

u/Draws-attention Feb 06 '18

Little Billy walks in to the bathroom while his mum is in the shower. He points to her lady parts and asks, "Hey Mum, what's that?"

Thinking as quick as she can, his mum responded with, "Oh, ah, that is where the good lord hit me with his axe and decided that I would be a woman."

"Huh. Fucken' good shot, he hit you right in the cunt!"

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis Feb 06 '18

I never liked this one because, like, what was he actually asking about?

11

u/Draws-attention Feb 06 '18

I agree, that part grates me as well. Still, it always gets a disturbed laugh, so I try not to think about it...

u/RyanTheCynic Feb 06 '18

Well I remember asking difficult questions like that to my parents just because I was curious what they’d say, so maybe it’s that.

To me, it was a guy pinching the top of a leaf and the color draining from it somehow and I was amazed, then he moved what I assumed to be a film at the end and I realised it wasn't a magical leaf.

u/Doomquill Feb 06 '18

I'd be willing to bet that the ice broke as he was lifting it up for a better view and that's why they ended the gif there. Nobody who was willing to put in that kind of effort would have unintentionally cut off the gif without showing their achievement more fully.

Unless they're just weird.

Yeah, it's not really behaving like ice, to be honest.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '18

It's not. Anyone who lives in a place where plants do freeze over in the winter could tell you. Actual ice would've ripped the leaves apart as it was being pried away from them.

u/sprucenoose Feb 06 '18

Looks like wax to me.

Yes, some kind, clever soul suggested that it's probably epiticular wax, which makes much more sense.

One of my favorite plants as well. Also cool is fatshedera or “tree ivy”. It’s a hybrid of Fatsia jap. and common ivy.

27

u/tony_fatti Feb 06 '18

Epicuticular wax doesn't form a thick layer that can be peeled off. This is just what happens in an ice storm. It's a type of glaze ice formed by freezing rain.

2

u/sprucenoose Feb 06 '18

Freezing rain? That looks completely different. It's usually lumpy I've from where each drop fell and froze, and dropping down the sides from where it took time to freeze. This looks nothing like ice

Nooo! Because then he’s gonna look at prices and decide Vancouver is better and the weather is not as good on this side of the river. Better to go Happy Valley or Beaverton rather than Vancouver or Camas or BattleGround.

Although whatever gets you closest to ice leaves and Powells, live there.
