Okay...
I'm in a light hearted mood this evening and thought it was time I let you all in on a little project I am doing. I am fully aware that this thread will likely be a contender for the 'weirdest thread of the year' award but that doesn't bother me.
So ladies and gentleman, without further ado; may I introduce to you all...
Haar de Rasenkopf!
Now I actually have no idea if that is spelled correctly but I seem to remember something similar being on the packaging so this is what we will use to refer to the little chap from now on.
Take a look...
He was bought for me by my lovely girlfriend as a 'joke' present. She knows my sense of humour well. He is a crazy little blighter with seeds embedded in to his skull; grass seeds no less. The instructions said to soak him in water for 3 minutes. Most excited, I complied without hesitation. I was then instructed to fill his little pot with water and sit him on top.
There he sat for a couple of days. I checked the cheeky chap every morning and by the end of the third day my patience had been rewarded!
Here was the result...
It's alive!!! I now know how it feels to be a parent.
Another few days later and...
Incredible! He has truly become a member of the family now. I am most intrigued to see how he will develop over the coming weeks. I figured those of you who share my enthusiasm for this project would also be interested. I will post regular updates to this thread with photographs showing the adventures he gets up to throughout his childhood. I may even take him on holiday this year, i'm sure he will enjoy Las Vegas as much as I will.
Disclaimer: Yes I am completely mad.
