I may lose all my plants

Quote[/b] ]Was the "notice" you got that you posted in your first message completely made up? Or did you get your hands on a real notice and just added "or plants" to it?

I found one on the internet and added some of my own laws to it.

I got caught hook line and sinker as well... I even emailed Barry to get him involved before I knew the whole story. After Ozzy filed me in, I figured I would jump in with both feet and "write a letter"...

My wife’s birthday is today, so I Love a good April fool!

Very, very nice!  I love it.  I unwittingly contributed with my story of the couple fearful that flytraps could hurt their kid's fingers. BUT...I did not make that up.  I think we all should send our spare U. subulata and D. capensis as a reward.

[PlantAKiss]

Hmmmm...I wonder if "Barry-Rice" is really....SUNDEW MATT in disguise!

Hawhawhaw!!  

errr...sorry Barry.  

 

[peter]

Ha, told you guys! Ozzy had me scared last year though, about his cp bog catching all the neibors pets!

I emailed Barry AND Charles Clarke. He is probably in the field, so I hope he reads all his email and see's my retraction...

 

[Zongyi_Yang]

I have to admit I am fooled

. I was a believer until you told me not to post on CPUK which kinda gave me some doupts. Zongyi

 

[RamPuppy]

lol... willing contributor here, though I must admit, I came in late. though I can't figure out how, this topic escaped my view for weeks!

Nice!

 

[TheAlphaWolf]

lol. I knew it! that part about you being so hurt if they really thought so was just too obvious.

Quote[/b] ] I don't think it's fair to set up April Fool's jokes two weeks ahead of schedule. I'll give you a day, but two weeks?

true... it's april fools not march fools

 

[Finch]

well i felt that the polite thing to do just incase was offer advice- but i dont trust ozzy anyway.

LOL. talk about polite

 

[LauraZ5]

You know something Finch, let's not be too harsh in judging him and separate the behavior from the "boy" so to speak. I see no ill will here. There was no intent to degrade or humiliate anyone and I have to admit I got taken too. I hear people's stories all the time and it is often difficult separating fact from fiction because when it happens to them... they tend to manufacture reality. I don't believe for one instant 0zzy has a malicious bone in his body and I certainly don't believe him to be unworthy of anyone's trust.

 

[kahnli]

My girlfriend hates my obsession with my CPs and she was even wrapped up in this thread!
Well done Ozzy!!

Quote[/b] ]I certainly don't believe him to be unworthy of anyone's trust.

Except for around this time of year.


Hey don't be tough on Finch, I don't even trust me half the time.

 

[PlantAKiss]

Ozzy is entirely trustworthy.  If you end up not trusting every person who pulls an April Fool's joke on April 1st, then you're going to end up not trusting a lot of people.  lol

Certainly Ozzy wasn't expecting the tidal wave of support he got for the "situation."  So its not like he intended to get people upset or anything.

I think it was a masterfully planned and well executed joke that managed to catch almost everybody in its net.  

We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes when we feel a little foolish.  

 

[z5guy]

crap and i was ready to go to ohio and rip new ones! o well! next?

Quote[/b] ]Ozzy had me scared last year though, about his cp bog catching all the neibors pets!

Oh yeah, I remember that one.. that was freaky as hell.

I was skeptical from the beginning with this one, really... I half-believed him and half-didn't, but to play it safe, I more or less kept to the Innocent Bystander status and just watched. I had no doubt that this country would do BS like this, but Ozzy's cheesy "I'm hurt you doubt me" guilt trips made me skeptical ^_^ It's amazing how you get to know people on the Internet so well to the point where you know how they normally talk, and when they say something in a way they don't normally say it, you know something's up.

 

[Finch]

i want offended... nor do i not really trust ozzy...

i guess the tone was misinturperted. i should have had a

at the end

 

[FlytrapGurl]

Yeah, I've been in that situation many times.

 

[Ozzy]

I know Finch, I wasn't offened at all, other people was offend more by your comment then I was. I hope you really believe me.
