Review for a barrel cactus:-
I'll be honest with you. I'll be quite transparent.
I used to be such a normal person. I was sensible, but not too sensible - one can learn a lot about one's character by licking a cigarette in the week before it is legal to smoke one - and I enjoyed my plain existence. Often, members of the peasant community would fling mud-lumps at the side of the helicopter as I travelled from one end of the garden to the other. I would laugh and wave and they would return to their shacks and we'd all have a jolly good time of it.
Of course, things change. One day Barack Obama (no, a different one) said to me, he said 'Bill, you should read the internet some days. It has a lot to offer'. And do you know what? I did read the internet. Previously limited to a used Suduko book for my reading material, I stole a personal computer and I devoured page after page and site after site. And slowly, I began to discover the truth about the world.
The things I have learned will never leave me. They will sit and fester within my heart like a rubber duck in a broken oven - doomed to remain eternally, until the cruel claws of time may poke at them no more. The Queen is a lizard.
The Queen is a lizard, your toaster can hear you thinking, France isn't there and NEVER WAS. The moon is a dragon's ear-drum.
Hot air balloons are sentient. There is a guy, works down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis. There is no such thing as marmite. And JFK was shot by a Maltese falcon in a man-kini.
I can't ever go outside now the the experts online in the internet machine have shown me what is really happening - the way the world is truly being run (mostly lizards, some toasters). I've stopped going near windows, too - if the Sun reflects on them, that means they are made of liquidised spies and are reporting everything you do back to their overlords.
What I'm trying to say is that I bought this 6 inch pretend barrel cactus to hide in.
It wasn't big enough. It barely covered one of my prosthetic feet, and while running away from one of the decorative tea pots which had started listening to my secret plans, it flew off and bounced away leaving me completely nude and vulnerable.
I bought forty-one more, and now I have sewn the cactus parts of each together to make a kind of fake cactus suit. Whenever I get the sense that the sleeves on my shirt are up to something, or the chandeliers have THAT look on their stupid faces again, I strip off, run down into the bunker and put on my cactus suit.
It looks a little bit lumpy, like a heap of fake cacti roughly arranged to form the shape of a person.
I gave it 4 stars out of five because, while very comfortable, I don't think it will be very effective when it comes to preventing mind-rays from the stars coming in through the kitchen and making me crazy.
That's really all I have to say on the matter.
