83. Important notice on noxious weeds from Missoula's foremost doomsday expert

Cute puppy dog.
Missoula's #1 puppy says heyyyy.
Guys. It's been a while since you've heard from me. You've probably been coming here every day, hitting F5, hoping something would change. Well, today is your lucky day!

Everything's fine. The puppy is well, although he was a little under the weather over the weekend.

However. I've come to you today to warn you about a growing menace that is threatening the very fabric of our fair city, Missoula, the Garden City.

Creeping bellflower.

BAD WEED
Look at this shit.
Creeping bellflower is a bad, bad weed.

People. Creeping bellflower is everywhere. Missoula is covered with it. It's growing in alleys and parks and lawns and in my motherfucking yard. I pulled out every single one of those motherfuckers last year, not one of them went to seed in my yard, I dug up pound after pound of their carrot-like tubers, and this year we've got more creeping bellflower than ever. I even bought Roundup and who am I now? I'm some person who buys Roundup now, and you know what, I don't even care, fighting the creeping bellflower is worth it.

I see it everywhere I go. Northside, Westside, University district, downtown. Greenough Park is filled with it. Your yard too, probably. Go look!

You think this is pretty? It's not!
Beware! If we let this menace continue to spread it will be our doom!

Unfortunately the creeping bellflower is nearly impossible to eradicate because it is so wily. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.


Creeping like an asshole.
Creeping bellflower. If you see any of these motherfuckers out there, beat the crap out of them.

Oh! A baby one! It looks easy to kill but it's not. But you should still try to.
