I want mistletoe. In this land where everything is possible and consumers rule, why can't I get fresh mistletoe? There isn't even much of the fake stuff about.

TheMercenary 12-07-2010 09:03 PM

We have tons of it in our trees around here.

monster 12-07-2010 09:05 PM

Then why is it not for sale commeicially alongside the wreathes and garlands and trees? Unlike Americans to miss a marketing gig! Or is there concern it'll cause the teenagers to have sex or the pagans to be more paganistic?

TheMercenary 12-07-2010 09:11 PM

Who knows, but if you want I will try to send some to you.

you have some gaul....

I might take you up on that, merc, I'm surprised it's so prevalent and yet not avaialable locally to me for money. It's farmed for the season in the UK. Most of us like to hang a sprig here or there hoping for an extra snog or two. That was the main focus of a teenage party. And Office party. And any party, really. After the free booxe....

We have the Dwarf Mistletoe. It's killing our trees.

We used to be able to find it where live trees are sold. Haven't bought any recently, though.

I remember always being able to get it at Frank's Garden Center, but of course they went out of business, what, like 20 years ago?

I suspect that the hand of the FDA is involved since it's poisonous or the FTC because it was endangering the sales of the multitude of plastic mistletoe factories, or the Human Relations Commission in an attempt to stamp out Fundamentalist Druidry.

monster 12-08-2010 04:40 PM

yup tried every single live tree place in Ann Arbor :( -perhaps they don't want to encourage up hippies......

Lamplighter 12-08-2010 04:54 PM

I saw something like this on TV a week or so ago, but don't remember if it was US or (as below) UK.

Mistletoe is under threat
Quote:

A campaign has been launched to give mistletoe the kiss of life and help protect our traditional orchard.

Naturalists warn that this traditional symbol of Christmas may disappear from some areas of the British countryside in the next 20 years.

WOULD YOU SHUT UP!!!!!

If only people would stop talking about sex, the teenagers won't ever get any ideas about having it.

monster 12-08-2010 10:16 PM

Mybad. Mistletoe is really for encouraging people to wave across the room in a staid -but friendly- manner, which is awesome... SO WHY CAN'T I HAVE ANY DAMN MISTLETOE IN MY HOUSE?

Find yourself an enterprising young man (or woman) with a .22 rifle. And send his (or her) happy ass to the woods to shoot you some fresh mistletoe outta the tree. Any green clump up there in the tree big as, or bigger than, a softball will do.

DanaC 12-12-2010 06:52 AM

Wow. That looks like it'd have a strong flavour.

jimhelm 12-12-2010 06:54 AM

it's like having sex in your mouth. well..... it is very tasty anyway

DanaC 12-12-2010 07:24 AM

Yeah. Having sex in my mouth doesn't sound so tasty to me. Maybe that's a guy thing :P

monster 12-12-2010 05:06 PM
