Jen goes into an emetic fit...

Although, people do consume the female reproductive cells as a delicacy. Why the hell not the male's.......

I firmly draw the line at eggiwegs, lomticks of toast, and lovely steakiwegs . . .

That does seem reminiscent of your spring roll chewing....

CWO, a very memorable required reading from high school. Next, you will be telling me to decipher a Rorschach for you...

Such a naaaaaasty thing to say; and I was careful to avoid mentioning your emetic tendencies; that, and your extreme Tourette's . . .

 

[pokie22]

Well I should tell you now about that incorrigible ptyalism of yours. Also, a change of gut microflora would not be a bad idea and should take care of that bit of flatulence....

 

[BigBella]

. . . And your soul-shattering halitosis? The excessive drooling was only a prelude to a volcanic bout of emesis; the farting, just for kicks . . .

 

[pebes]

Jeez. get a room, you two.

 

[pokie22]

Ahhhh, the sweet smell of ketone bodies from my presummer autophagy. I have heard it is a mate attractant in some cultures. Glad to know I am in good company. And I do hope your practice for old age pays off. I head Depends are reliable........

@ Pebes: Preferable a well vented room .......

 

[BigBella]

This has all gone horribly awry; and I smell cats . . .

I kind of forgot this was my thread...

@BigBella: Did you ever receive my PMs?

 

[amphirion]

The jars remind me of an odd dessert I had in a Asian restaurant -- sort of a pudding made with agar with almond flavoring.

How does the media taste?

that.... Is my crack...

 

[pokie22]

If instigated, yes I will take the bait and digress. For a moment there, it seemed like the everyday conversations I have in lab.

But pardon the slight usurpation of your thread. BigBella appears to be having sayers remorse.....

 

[Sundrew]

No it was funny. I don't mind at all.

I'm going to plant some explants today. Does anyone know if TC will work on a root tip emerging from the pot of my N. ampullaria? Also, how do you transfer wet seeds from sterilization into a vessel without having them stick to the forceps/other seeds?

Nepenthes explants are extremely difficult to sterilize properly, since an endosymbiotic alga lives within its tissues; and can easily overrun a culture vessel. Lowland species are even more difficult, for that reason.

In terms of transferring seed, I use pouches of filter paper and simply use some forceps to remove them from the wet surface; ans sticking is seldom a problem. Also, innoculating loops are useful and I believe both pokie22 and I offered to send you some, along with standard media . . .
