Ersatz

Ersatzby Red Wolf

Rose slapped her hand against a tree trunk and was startled by the hollow echo. "I always wanted to visit Central Park, but this isn't what I expected."

The Doctor nodded at the vast field of green before them. "It happened not long past your time. Some idiot thought it would save money to introduce genetically modified grass that was resistant to pesticides, it cross-pollinated to other plant species and a super weed smothered the park."

"So they replaced everything with fakes?"

Jack snorted derisively. "I don't know what they were thinking. Artificial grass is a nightmare for friction burns."

Interestingly enough, Monsanto are responsible for a range of Roundup Ready modified plants and, while they sold the division off years back, they're also the inventors of Astro-Turf. I wonder if perhaps they have other interests at heart — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 29.09.2007 20:48 AEST | #

friction burns

Yeah, it is. I mean — I've heard — via LiveJournal — posted by Mark Hunter at 29.09.2007 20:48 AEST | #

One of those things you generally don't admit to knowing. A co-worker once arrived at work limping. When asked why, he replied that he had friction burns on top of his feet. He never did live that down — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 29.09.2007 20:49 AEST | #

On top of his — okkkaaaayyyy .....

I had a coworker who once shoed up with rope burns on her wrists. Sadly, she'd never go out with me — via LiveJournal — posted by Mark Hunter at 29.09.2007 20:50 AEST | #

Ahhh, Jack... how I do love the lad — via LiveJournal — posted by willa_writes at 29.09.2007 20:50 AEST | #

Worked your way through to the Jack episodes yet? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 29.09.2007 20:51 AEST | #

Not yet — I can usually only sneak in one hour of viewing time per day, so I'm going slow. But oh, man, am I loving these! — via LiveJournal — posted by willa_writes at 29.09.2007 20:51 AEST | #

...The scary thing is that I can see that happening.

Also, Jack? Is priceless. :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 29.09.2007 20:52 AEST | #

It really isn't a great leap in speculation, is it? Especially when you consider that Monsanto invented Astro-Turf, have since sold the division off, but an interesting thought none the less — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 29.09.2007 20:53 AEST | #

::sporfle:: Good ole' Jack — just his kind of comment! — via LiveJournal — posted by Padawan Pooh at 29.09.2007 20:54 AEST | #

Ah, Jack. Interrupting a serious dicussion of human folly with comments about sex. How can you not love him? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 29.09.2007 20:54 AEST | #
