Yesterday was ElOldehombre's birthday. In reference to an old 'inside' joke, an original 'Grit Tree' was procurred and presented to him. Needless to say, it was a success.

極秘種 門外不出
TOP SECRET - NOT TO LEAVE PREMISES

皇室菜園蔵
IMPERIAL GARDEN PROPERTY

改良新種第六拾五号 グリット木
REVISION VARIATION #65 GRIT TREE

Back of ID tag:
THIS FOSSILIZED GRIT TREE WAS ONCE THE PROPERTY OF THE IMPERIAL GARDEN. THE IMPERIAL GARDENERS WERE ATTEMPTING TO DEVELOP A SELF SUSTAINABLE PLANT TO PRODUCE RATIONS FOR SOLDIERS IN THE FIELD. IMPERIAL RESCRIPT #123456-A+B=C INDICATED THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE IMPERIAL GARDEN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE GRIT AND POTTED MEAT TREES. THE GRIT TREES ARE MOST NOTICABLE FOR THE SMALL PACKETS OF INSTANT GRITS THAT FLOWER DAILY. THE POTTED MEAT TREES HAVE SMALL TINS (CHOCK FULL OF PECKERS AND LIPS) DANGLING FROM THEIR BRANCHES. A SUPER SPECIAL SECRET NOURISHMENT KEEPS THE TREES FRESH. WITHOUT CONTINUED NOURISHMENT FROM THIS SPECIAL SAUCE, THE TREES IMMEDIATELY FOSSILIZE INTO AN UN-NATURAL PLASTIC STATE.

For those who are curious, The 'Olde1' turned 29 for the 41st time, last night at 9:15 pm. Hope it was a very, happy, birthday Olde Friend!

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!
