Behold the elusive Barbecuicus Propanis. This hardy plant is found mainly in public spaces, where it can survive twenty years of harsh winters. If however it is cut, and not placed in a special concrete soil, then and only then will it die. In captivity, cultivation is relatively easy, since concrete soil was given directly.

Is its fruit called barbecuous deliciosa? Looks like a tropical plant to me--likes lots of heat!

I agree with Marlingarden... loves losts of heat. No watering, no weeding, no diseases, slugs or bugs. Rolling Eyes Must say it's an unusual species Cool Wink

Marsman, it's wonderful to know there are others out there who are as confused as I am. It's a urinal. Right?

Charlie MV,
Remind me to never come to a cook-out at your house.

Have to disagree with you very strongly there I’m afraid! Shocked

The Barbecuicus Propanis is a well known host to several species of cockroach and fly.

A little lighter fluid and a match. The smell of burning hair should fade after a couple of steaks.

Just kidding! Laughing

Adds a bit of 'mousequite' flavoring to the steak. Razz

I'm partial to the "super-soaker" option. If you lay in wait till they get close enough, hit them with a blast from point blank range, you can make the stream fork up each little nostril. They usually do a back flip and flee in utter terror. Don't worry, a rodent psychiatrist once told me that their teeny brains haven't the capacity to remember terror for more than a couple of minutes. This means you can do it over and over again.
