I just think the Aussie may take a bit to get to the West Coast, unless his car goes fast on water too. How many flashlights do we need?

Ferget about fast cars, they won't get past the OSP here. A cop behind every Doug fir, thinking about their next ticket to the donut shop.

No siree... only vertical transport will cut it. They won't even know what happened. (Dusting off the PRODOFFPARD here)

That'll work! I'll run interference as I can carry at least 40 dozen donuts in my trunk....

OMG, Evan!!!!!

holy moly-thats a donut haul!!

You'd never get away with speeding in that truck.

Perfect diversion. A slow truck overloaded with donuts. While OSP is gathering all around it and Evan is wheeling and dealing away a ticket (for going to slow) I'll head to the field with my shovel and gunny sack. After dark, of course.

Gosh, who says too many chefs ruin the stew?

I haven't heard a bad idea yet!

Moby's driving and I've got shotgun. Oh wait, Tracy's got shotgun and I'm in the bed w/the donuts. mmmmmmmmmm!

OK, this is how it's coming down... Moby drives, Tracey rides shotgun, Evan is in back eating donuts while fending off the cops... all this while I swoop in with the PRODOFFPARD with engines on silent and shields up, then suck up the lilies using the integrated multi-purpose multi-tasking select-a-lily sucking gizmo arm. No need for a shovel and gunny sack. When I'm finished I'll just fly away.

Polly, Lefty, what are you two doing? Just standing there watching?

Oh my gosh! The mental pictures this is painting!

OMG, you guys are a hoot! Sounds like the perfect plan.

I could phone the police[from australia] at the exact time you are executing this procedure,and create a diversion by saying i saw a Llama robbing a payroll van about 2 miles away from where you are,.,.[now this is really getting silly],.,.but i have heard that llamas are very smart animals--and payroll guards arent that smart,..,

It the very least, they might come to check you out and give you one of those nice white jackets with the funny buckles on the back

Join us Shelly. I think we're due two cars at this point.

No, Pard, I'm going and I'm digging, and I'm tagging. I'm going in my slow but sure Toyota Rav 4, and I'm going to load it up. And then I will get away.

Of course, that's if there's any left after you go in with the PRODOFFPARD. What the heck is that? Be aware I'm not a sci fi person if that's what you're referring to.

The PRODOFFPARD was invented on a very long thread on the lily forum on Dave's Garden, dating back to 2006. It starts out a bit tame when wallaby1 (Janet Rowley) posted a photo of her L. speciosum var. gloriosoides. Part way through it degenerates into a hilarious story where each poster added to the story by responding to the previous post. The whole point of the story was about me trying to steal Janet's gloriosoides out of her greenhouse in Lincoln UK. LOL!

I see. So you have a habit of this, eh?

Off to read the thread. What fun!
