You know how avocados are a type of pear and they have stones inside them?

Could this be a bit of a pear throwback which has started to grow a stone but not done it quite properly, so it's gone off and deteriorated a bit while it was growing?

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 04/02/2014 23:13

Ooh yes Rhonda.

Kind of reverse evolution. We're at the start of something big.

Give it a few years and there'll be another Dawkins tome to add to the rest. The Selfish Pear.

Ohhh how I wish that I was not north of the Offa's Crumble Dyke.

I might have to stay up and keep the night watch, but I do have Baileys

Plants do regress, I don't know what the technical term is but if you have a cultivated plant it can have throw backs and if you leave them to breed naturally they can revert right back to the original.

If anyone knows about horticulture they may be able to explain.

LittleBabyPigsus · 04/02/2014 23:22

Rhonda avocados and pears aren't actually related. The name 'avocado pear' refers to the shape. It's a misnomer like 'koala bear'.

Allalonenow · 04/02/2014 23:28

A pp mentioned a possible cross with avocado pear, but avocado used to be known as alligator pear {changed by Tesco probably) so that hasn't cheered me up much, as large teeth are now a feature.

FootieOnTheTelly · 04/02/2014 23:38

I love this thread Grin

santasballsackisnolonger · 04/02/2014 23:45

Humphhh I came back before bed to check that all ended well and im no wiser than when I first logged on this morning! A full day spent worrying about baby pear mice and hairys assimilation into mutant fruity furball! Please hairy potter just have water for breakfast!

Misspixietrix · 04/02/2014 23:56

It's like the Weeping Angels in Doctor Who. You turn to stone if you touch one. Well. The same applies with Mutant pears OP. Now your Dh has touched it. It's already got him. It's going to eat away at his slowly but surely and all the whole he'll be growing his own little Pear baby Mouse nest. You'll wake up in the morning to a real life Mutant Hairy Peary man. Anyway sleep tight OP :)

Allalonenow · 05/02/2014 00:25

OMG!!
Where did the picture with the teeth spring from?!!
That is the stuff of nightmares.

Have battened down the hatches here, as I noticed someone a few pages ago asked Hairy if she and her family were OK.
She has not replied Shock

I'm sorry now that I don't have a Zombie Apocalypse bag packed.

KenAdams · 05/02/2014 00:38

WTF is wrong with me? Why do I continue to click on these threads, in the dead of night, no less?

I should leave the internet. Forever slight overreaction.

stripeygreensocks · 05/02/2014 00:41

Oh no, no, no. I'm not falling for that, has he burnt it yet?

LackaDAISYcal · 05/02/2014 01:50

I fear for my family; they are also vair close to the McDonalds of Horror.
Thank God I got away before PearMageddon!

BarbiesBeaver · 05/02/2014 08:51

Government has started putting these signs everywhere North of the Crumbleline.

What on earth is inside my pear?

Misspixietrix, I think we're safe from the Weeping Angels for now. You don't turn to stone if they touch you, you just disappear from this time and reappear in a far earlier one as they consume your time. Not you as such. They turn to stone when you look at them as they're quantum locked.
Yes I'm a huge fan and not a geek at all. Wink

However, you may be onto something else. Something along the Borg, you-will-be-assimilated line. Again with the geekness. Hmm

Hairy, have you checked your DH for any bio-ware/mould-ware additions that weren't there yesterday?? Any suspicious wounds behind his ears or at the base of his neck?
Are you even still all there and unassimilated this morning?

Oh dear, can we trust any responses from Hairy this morning??

TheCuntOfPhilomena · 05/02/2014 09:38

Here is the conclusive evidence I have been searching for that fruit is not a food group to be messed with. Never again shall even a raisin pass my lips.

Hairy Do you have your affairs in order?

Misspixietrix · 05/02/2014 09:43

Grin fellow geek here too Fluffle! Safe from the Angels yes but the Pears. They're on to us you know. one can feel it in them bones of mine Wink.

brokenpurpleheart · 05/02/2014 09:44
