well that first one works, I was thinking more of a little green smiley with a black witch hat.

Perfect for those uses, when we are discussing our plans for those nasty little neighbors who let their dogs trample on our gardens and such and thus...
And what of that idiot next door that grows poison ivy all over the fence as an ornamental 'vine' for his privacy. Will I sneak over at midnight on the 13th of the month and spray it with bush killer?! YES! yes I WILL! ________________________(insert witch here)_____________________________


So, see, we do need a witch.

Need a C130H to facilitate the transport of the "capture" apparatus so the team could move swiftly to coral the "suspect" rhizomes from the wayward grower know locally as the "Big Cheese".

Here is an example of said C130H.

I am NOT saying we get this plane (though, it is quite colourful), just one similar so we can load alot and get away fast. It does not need much space to land, can go backwards down a strip/road (so it does not need to turn around) and it does not need an aweful lot of room to get airborne.

Just a thought!

If our "capture" load was too close to take off specs, we could use JATO* for the extra boost.

* JATO stands for Jet Assisted Take Off

Tom, if you hear anything in your garden near midnight please, please go back to sleep..... you do not want to have to testify in front of sane people that your iris garden was invaded by inebriated people with large gunny sacks wearing bandoliers, tutus, snake boots, hard hats, head lamps, brandishing, garden tools, bows and quivers, automatic weapons, wasp spray and silly string ..... led by a cat. ..... and I think someone said popcorn? (this to the Midnight Diggers, perhaps we should watch for traps? or having water hose turned on us. ok. bring ponchos or umbrellas.)

Not ponchos please -- they would hide the tutus -- can't have that!! So umbrellas would be the choice..............

Fanny packs with dog bones over the tutu's. Mary Ann is right no ponchos..... to hard to get to quiver under a poncho too. so umbrellas it is. Anyone feel up to carrying a patio umbrella for a group dig cover?

I'll do it for the team!! I tip my hat to you. With the tutus and all the various paraphernalia, and given my southern roots, it must be a large fringed parasol.

OK Missy, you are on parasol duty. Try and keep the fringe out of our eyes.

You'll need wide brimmed hats with lace to cover your face to keep the skeeters off. The rain has made lots of ponds and they have gone crazy here. And don't forget my Attack cat Bagheera He's armed and dangerous. He will love you to death. Rolling my eyes.
