Crocus update: blooming is currently prorogued

Written by Joel Johannesen on Monday January 25 2010 at 12:28 PM

Millions of emailers have written and asked…. OK let me start again in a less Obama-esque, honest sort of way, with my chin far lower.  Nobody, not a single person, has emailed to ask how the crocus sprout, first highlighted last week right here at PTBC in a photograph taken by me outside the vast PTBC world headquarters compound, is doing today. 

See, I had predicted in my blog entry that it would bloom by Sunday at 1:00 PM.  Nobody commented in that blog entry to offer-up their own predictions, exposing an embarrassing display of laissez-faire among my crocus-hating anti-crocus and clearly crocuphobic readership. 

Like Obama and his predictions that unemployment would not top 8% if Congress passed his trillion-dollar “stimulus” (wink!) package, I was very wrong (His unemployment is now closer to 11% and as much as 17% if all things are factored-in).  Even now, neither employment nor my crocus is really very close to blooming.  However, I maintain that if readers comment more often, the crocus will bloom, as if by magic. You know, like Obama-magic.

prorogued crocus

No liberals are protesting the crocus prorogation thing, but it would be time better and more meaningfully spent.  Plus it represents hope and change and crap like that.

• If you think PTBC has no value, then don't pay anything for it. It will fade into the sunset. That's the free market at work.

Comments do not necessarily reflect or in any way represent the opinion of the main blog entry writer or owner of this site, and claims to the contrary are spurious.

The fact that a comment remains does not indicate an endorsement of the views.

    I am reminded of Sherlock Holmes “There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.

    It’s wonderful to celebrate such a harbinger of spring and track it year to year. Much can be learned by such observation. Also like you observe the messiahs chin. A Buffalo radio show host referred to it as the Mussolini thing he does with his chin. He’s mentioned it numerous times now. Both speak for themselves.

    @twh —Well yeah but here on the west coast, lots of people believe in the man-made global warming.  So if you want it to warm up, ya gotta believe.

    I could hardly believe “ProudToBeCanadian” was available when I was looking for a web site domain name.  No liberal thought of it?  It took a true blue CONSERVATIVE to think of buying that name and starting a web site built around it?  What does that tell you?  ...  Please remember to support this site.
