This is skunk-cabbage. It is a low-growth leafy plant, usually found in wooded, marshy areas. As a member of the arum family, its flowers share similar characteristics with jack-in-the-pulpit and calla lilies. It has a very pungent odor, hence the name "skunk" cabbage.
Lots of arum plants have nasty odors. The titan arum, one of the largest flowering plants in the world and notoriously difficult to cultivate, is also known for its terrible smell. Another arum plant, the voodoo lily, also smells like fermented roadkill. Skunk cabbage isn't as nasty, but it can raise a good stink.
Skunk cabbage doesn't glow in the dark. In the story, it glows, but because something is wrong with it.

Time to curl up with Mabel and dream of things that are not quite right... like glowing skunk-cabbage in inappropriate colors.

Missed out on Wonder Trade Christmas, but I can at least join in on the after-Christmas rush of trainers.
In the meantime, I should raise some Abras for some lucky trainers to get low-level Alakazams.

If he wanted a reasonably priced tablet, it'd be something you might be able to swing if you saw one for a good price, but the iPad is mostly just a symbol. A very expensive symbol.
PS: I got a set of kitchen knives, some McDonald's gift cards, and a surge protector with USB ports.
My nephew is too young. Even my niece's Nook will be closely monitored and only her dad can order books.

My loot includes a replacement for my missing "The Forgotten" DVD, which I am very happy to have. Three books, including Require Reading Remixed, How to Write a Damn Novel, and How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy... which I already have. Also, a pizza kit.

Not much loot this Christmas, though plenty of cash, which will come in handy for MAGFest.
My niece got a Nook, since she reads a lot. Of course, her younger brother is jealous because he didn't get one. He wants an iPad.
He's eight.

Looking closely, it is another hand. I can see fingers. Clear, distinct fingers. Hair does not do that.

Your mom is a petty [sonic slicer], no offense! 
I just cleaned part of my living room!
There wasn't any mail!
I'm killing time rather than packing stuff to head out for Christmas!
The smoke alarm squawking is driving me insane!
Urge to kill rising!

I'll need to set up a connection at my half-brother's so I can do some Abra and Eevee giveaways.

Got my ears plugged up. It's been saving my sanity, or what little of it is left. Stupid smoke alarm and stupid housing rules that say I can't replace the damn battery myself, and stupid smoke alarm being crammed somewhere I can't reach without climbing over the water heater...

So very tempting...
But yes, I plan to keep only one Fire type for the sake of there not being so damn many, and St. Elmo is primarily a Fly slave. Though you could probably figure out a nice strategy to deal with the tons of Fire types.
Got some extra Water types sitting around... some of Runaway's premium recipe mind-control powder...
And on another note, about the Mega Stones, is there a set point where everyone will be using them? Or can they be passed out? Since Runaway was taken, Trak might be eager to equip him with a nice, shiny Alakazite as extra protection.
My Lapras.

Because I'm a sucker for type spread, I'm not adding Flamin' Yawn to the party. Anne Bonney will take his place, if I pull out more Pokemon. As for the sixth, either Quacklin' or possibly Pierce, but I haven't decided yet.

I refused to watch the second one and even swore that I would never watch it even if tickets for it fell into my lap.
One day, that actually happened. I had FREE TICKETS to go see it.
I still didn't watch it.

Okay, so Runaway's Bold/Hates to lose combo isn't half bad. Basically, both attributes boost the stats that he has the most deficit in.
