I'll cop to Wikipedia here: "Seed bombing, also known as "Seed Grenades" is a technique of introducing vegetation to arid soils or otherwise inhospitable terrains. A seed bomb is a compressed clod of soil containing live vegetation that may be thrown or dropped onto a terrain to be modified. The term "seed grenade" was first used by Liz Christy in 1973 when she started the "Green Guerillas". The first seed grenades were made from balloons filled with local wildflower seeds, water and fertilizer. The seed grenades were tossed over fences onto empty lots in New York City in order to make the neighborhoods look better. It was the start of the Guerilla Gardening movement."

Those of you in New York can see the results of seed bombing on the corner of Houston and Bowery. Bless you, Liz Christy!

Sort of like looking at the trisexual lovechild of Saddam Hussein, Obi Wan Kenobi and an alcoholic sea otter, eh? No worries--spring molt is just around the corner, depending on what Puxatawney Phil has to say on Friday. No point in advertising my advanced years any more than I have here, but I will say that it's been nice to have it over this past chilly week.

First to post a Just For Men product jpeg wins a withering stare. Jpeg.
