hey xoda have you finished on the road. What did you reckon? Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh is a pretty good book. It's about a couple of junkies in Scotland. It's written in phonetic scottish, which is hard at the start but as you continue you get used to it and it begins to feel as if you were sitting with a scottish bloke at the pub hearing his story. IIts a good one.

Grow log, great idea. Very informative. Will probably choose my next trichocereus with help from this. Cheers

So when is the next one starting?

next meet seems so far away.

happy birthday guys. have a great day

thanks for all the replies guys. sounds like a winner

Ooh I forgot to add; i have a fair bit of syrian rue, a limited number of seeds for strombocactus disciformis and epilantha micromeris, and some lithops seeds. please contact me if any of these interest you. PD you already had my love and respect so your just gonna have a shed load from me

Hey all, What you have here in this thread is someone shamelessly trying to get cheap/free cacti seeds. I'd really appreciate any help I can get. I need to expand my small collection of cacti. Anyone who can help will receive massive amounts of love and respect. Cheers, Q.

that is awesome in an unnerving way. I would love a cacti with some of my DNA in it, then I could say I literally care for my cacti like they were my children. i'll have a Lophophora Quilliamsii thanks

love the rib formation at tip

Hey Arnie, how about an update. All the best mate.

it seems like every time I check out one of these picture threads I add some "must haves" to my wish list. Nice cacti p

All you need is a stereo and track 3 from Amputechture

Ha I love that last quote, said so many times, made my family think i'd flipped.

^ he is genius isn't he. Every sentance he writes is poetry, he's a hipster saint. If you want more kerouacy goodness try the dharma bums or big sur. I love the way that he gets inspiration from his friends and looks at them like spiritual guides. i always wanted to be a Dean Moriarty

^ this guys pretty keen

yeah the middle of the film gets a bit carried away but. . . we can't stop here this is bat country oh and HST makes some really quotable quotes eg Buy the ticket, take the ride I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die

Hunter S Thompson is great. I love his psychedelic angry/passionate outrageous ranty style. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of my all-time faves. its also the perfect length - you can knock it over in an afternoon. good recommendation Danger

Yeti said it best

Jack Kerouac's On the Road again I cannot understate this books role in making me the person that I am. (but don't let that turn you off ) Kerouac was arguably the best writer that the Beat generation, or beatniks, produced. On the road is his most widely read and most loved. This book shaped the way youth culture defined itself for at least two generations after. Without this book the world we live in would be a far far different place. Indeed one can plot a direct line from Kerouac and the Beatniks to Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary and many other notables from the age of the hippie. Kerouac and his friends were among the first of their generation to try marijuana and dispel the "dope fiend" myth to their contemporaries. They also tried mescaline and sought out a brew called yage (ayahuasca) in their attempts to expand their experience of reality and conciousness. If you read only one book this year make it On The Road I would also recommend anything by Kerouac

oops. yeah i meant bottom left hand side. I hope to make it. Will bring along some worm wee - great organic fertiliser, good for everything

love those dichotomofos

What about all the fossilised marine life in the middle of the outback? Many parts of the earth have been covered with water that leaves due to environmental forces leaving behind fish etc carcasses. I have a worm farm going and it produces way too much worm wee for me to use. Any adelaideans interested can pm me for freebies

yeah ive been thinking about getting some fluoros for my cacti. You don't get that natural feel but fluoros are more dependable

nice little mutants. I'm jealous. How much light are these babies getting?
