all the instructions are on the card
Jun. 2nd, 2023 10:43 pmHere is a fun game! Trim all the grass and weeds in your chaotic, overstuffed, overgrown front garden to under six inches tall. You have until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. If you fail, the city will mow down your whole garden at your expense. If you succeed, nothing happens... and eventually you figure out that the threat is over.
Okay, but how do I figure out which of my plants the city counts as a weed?
All the instructions are on the card. I.e., if your garden gets mowed down, that was a weed.
Somehow I always end up playing this game after I go to Wiscon. The three years I didn't travel there, I don't think I did anything different here, but I didn't get a ticket. Maybe the city code compliance just didn't have enough employees those years.
This year the game is extra fun because my little old dog has diarrhea, and his wobbliness means I have to carry him down the steps when he needs to go out. After four days of sitting on the Madison Concourse's terrible chairs, all the lifting and carrying, and cleaning up after, and weeding and trimming has really fucked up my back.
