a year and a half ago, i accompanied miss c and miss k to the easter show with a few of their friends. one of the group, ohno, had a thing for bonsai plants. i also have a thing for bonsai plants - i equate bonsai with the human torture of foot binding, a practice popular in china in the 18th century, or thereabouts. naturally, women's feet were bound for the pleasure of men ....
today, ohno tells me that he might be going to the bonsai nursery with tall j and also threw in that pokey boy was also partial to bonsai. what is it with guys, i asked - did it have something to do with control? his reply? "hmmmmm....yes....possibly....but that's not why i do it...." yer....right... that's what ohno says, but i know that pokey boy has told both miss c and miss k, individually, that he wanted to tie them up...to his bed....if that isn't wanting to control someone, then what is?
i know they can do very clever things with bonsai, but i still think it's the plant equivalent of foot binding.... and the plants are starved of nutrients so their growth is stunted....and sometimes bleached to achieve a weathered, aged effect....if you have one, treat it well, if you don't, don't encourage the practice.....
