Bleugh! Envy

I was eating in the the dark and didn't notice until it was too late.

Grin Laughing at The Selfish Pear

What about the Scottish Agricultural College, Hairy? Isn't that where they cloned the sheep? Surely they can deal with mutant alien pear mouse babies?

WhereIsMyHat · 05/02/2014 14:34

I live by kew and one of the school mums is a scientists type there but I'm not sure I can cope having that thing anywhere near me!

Misspixietrix · 05/02/2014 14:36

Does anyomne know what time she finishes work? How long do we wait before we organise the search party? the Mutant Pear Husband has her I'm sure of it.

somuchtosortout · 05/02/2014 14:45

I think it's this

somuchtosortout · 05/02/2014 14:47

Oh, sorry, just seen rest of thread. Ignore boring factual answer, let's go with the zombie pears!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/02/2014 14:51

Yeah, let's not let the truth get in the way Grin

Act-u-ally, the link shows some pear-rot but in the first photo (Exhibit 1) the manky bit looks separate like an avocado stone- and the other pear half looks completely clean (unless she licked it) Confused

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/02/2014 14:51

The boring, factual answer was probably planted (geddit) by the Evil Pear Overlords, to lull us into a false sense of security, somuch.

Thumbwitch · 05/02/2014 14:57

I don't think it is pear core breakdown - I've had pears with that, and the core has gone brown and mushy, not hard and black like wot the OP's pear is.

SamHamwidge · 05/02/2014 15:01

I know this thread.has become all jokey and whatnot but can I just say I am feeling all horrid and itchy about this pear TUMOUR in the same way that I did when I found out what trypophobia was thanks to mn. I can't stop thinking about it and feeling sick!
Eurgh. I need brain bleach.

Looksgoodingravy · 05/02/2014 15:02

The Usual Suspects - which one was it?

Flufflewuffle · 05/02/2014 15:17

Hairy, I think it's a great idea to send the link to the "That's a shame" veg co. Pty Ltd.

Go on! You know you want to! Wink

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/02/2014 15:47

D'you I'm going to use "That's a Shame" as my new manta.

"Mum, I need 100g of ham this morning"

"Mum, I need a blue sweatshirt for the school disco"

Oh, that's a shame. That'll be my new Get Out Clause Wink

HairyPotter · 05/02/2014 15:54

I'm still here. For the time being...

Mutant zombie pear is still in the bin. They don't get emptied til next Wednesday though

It's obvious PearyPotter: even the delivery people don't come out in the daylight. So we can add vampires into the trope.

BTW, I clicked on the links. And I wish I could say it's put me off food. All it's done was put me off food and send me running to the Krispy Kremes. And I was doing so well this past week - waaaahhhh!

She licked it? On purpose? Oh my god!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/02/2014 17:08

Hey - the 15.40 post from yesterday had PearyPotter waking up from a nap (probably thinking she'd Dreamed all this mwah ha ha ) to find to her horror that PearMiceBabies were all over MN fb but "at least my worktops weren't manky"

So yes, she'd lick the pear before she photographed it. As if you'd present the "That'sAShamePearMouseBabies" in anything less than a good light.

WowserBowser · 05/02/2014 17:34

She's orchestrated this all Shock

Playing us like a finely tuned violin.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/02/2014 17:39

D'you think it was all a huge, elaborate hoax?

Shock

But HairyPeary has got guinea-pigs

Will no-one think of the BabyGuineaPigPearBabies

WowserBowser · 05/02/2014 17:40

They're probably mutant piggies Sad

Misspixietrix · 05/02/2014 17:42

zzzzz . OP if that's what it can grow in your Fruitbowl in a few days imagine what it could grow spending two weeks in your Bin. I'm just saying...

Flufflewuffle · 05/02/2014 18:10

Eeek, Pixietrix!! What a horrible, horrible thought! It could take over the entire bin.
And HOW would you fit everything else in there that needed to go?? Or would it simply eat everything you binned...?
Hmmmm...

SlightlyDampWellies · 05/02/2014 18:18

Oh Lord. The bin. For two weeks.

See, this is how the Zombie Apolocalypse starts.

Can you call the environmental agency or something? or Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo? please?

This. Is. Not. Funny. Anymore.

Misspixietrix · 05/02/2014 18:21

You wouldn't be able to fit anything in afterwards. It would have already eaten you too Grin.
