[up][up]I said they had nowhere to post.

At least not on the Yack Fest.

[up]You know how in movies, they show something abandoned with a tumbleweed going across the screen?

That's what I named it after.

Being the sort of oddjob that goes to bed at 2 AM to wake up at 8 (usually), this is something I can get behind.

Yes, I've seen tumbleweeds. Common in the American Southwest.

A brighter future for a darker age.

These days when no one is posting for a while I do something else on the computer. Like get off the computer.

Also, has anyone seen actual tumbleweed?

There's a roadside median about 12 miles from me that's full of em about 7 feet deep of nothing but tumbleweeds blown in with the wind.

They extremely common in much of Colorado. They also extremely flammable, they'll burn like gasoline when dry.

Fun fact: tumbleweeds are not actually native to North America.

^ Some are. The kind most people associate with and most commonly seen in North America are not native. They're Russian. (Which explains greatly why they grow so well in the Great Plains region. The Great Plains is climate and vegetation wise analogous to much of Russia.)
