I am getting such a kick out of this topic...you're making this facebook transplant feel right at home. Thanks so much!!

Maybe just pour the granddaddy bong's water on 'em.
The stench would make 'em surrender or run for the hills, retching.

LOL--having been in downtown Newark last month, I can appreciate that!

This news really fills me with outrage I think it's time we stopped allowing New Jersey to be used as the dumping ground for all our toxic waste!!! I mean, [i]I MEAN[/i]......it's our "Garden State"

Ummm .... and what do we use to fertilize gardens?

(By the way, I hope I don't have to explain the "bong squad" = wasted time thing!)

It all started with the government cutbacks on mental health clinic funding. They had to release a lot of us. Welcome!

Yeah, I got out on a weekend pass some 30 years ago and never went back. They ain't found me yet neither.

On the off chance that the question was not rhetorical and you need a reminder ( ), see Cathy's answer--no. 2 here: http://www.folkuke.com.

Banjos and accordions.

Nope, got the pun and enjoyed it thoroughly, yes indeedy.

AND thanks, Ceashel, for the FolkUke link!

At the horse rescue stable I volunteer at a couple of days a week, the lady running it wanted flowers and some veggies surrounding the barns this summer...so this past winter she prepared the beds. She got a lot of old bricks and some concrete edging to mark out the beds and contain them, and started dumping wheelbarrows of used shavings and horse stall cleanings (includes some hay) into the beds. The flowers/squash are happy, and it's dirt...now!~

We've gone green! All the stuff from the stalls is being used by a plant/tree nursery and a guy that has a huge veggie garden. Since we use shavings as bedding, they're all fighting over what we throw away; one even came over with a loader and a truck, and scooped up a two year old manure mountain...it had turned into nicely composted black dirt.

Well it took a newbie to win! I expected an old timer to clinch it!
Barbara got it!!!!!!

some of that horse manure can turn up some pretty exotic grasses!

Well, I'm glad we got the proper answer to this quiz. But owing to the tremendous brain power and knowledge base of blunderites, I'm not at all shocked. I did, however, think that maybe I could tap into this wonderful resource of blunderbrains to help me perhaps answer some of the questions that may have dogged many of us for years.

1) Where exactly ARE "The Boondocks"?

2) How much is a shitload?

3)Do catfish have kittens?

4)Why do people ask so many stupid questions?

1) From answers.com :

"If you're out in the boondocks, linguistically speaking, you're much more distant than the sticks, the backwoods, the hinterland, or the bush. In fact, you're in the Philippines. That's where the boondocks came from, during the American occupation that began with the defeat of Spain in 1898. In Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines, bondoc means "mountain," and the term was used first by the occupying U.S. military to mean the Philippine mountains ... or jungle ... or remote area of any sort. By 1909 it was already in Webster's New International Dictionary with those meanings. But in English it remained largely military slang until the 1960s. The Marine Corps especially made use of boondocks. During World War II the Marines began calling their heavy combat boots boondockers, and they have worn that name ever since." http://www.answers.com/topic/boondocks

Geeze, Larry! Gotta get people to Google stuff for you now? You must have graduated from Rocky & Bullwinkle's Alma Mater, Wassamatta U! And you misspelled "resource"!

2) A lot.

3) Frittens (Fry + kittens)

4) You question is the answer (not to be confused with "the door is ajar.").
