Looking for a shrub.

[Eric Stewart]

Ilex Crenata Steeds (Steed Holly) to be more exact.

Anybody want to share?

[Steve_Stafford]

You aren't a knight who says...nee are you? I don't have a shrub for you, I couldn't resist the Monty Python straight man line...I'm sure someone won't fall for it and have one for you?

[bclarch]

No shrubbery but I can give you the air speed velocity of an unladen European Swallow. (http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/) (Just remenber, Steve started it.)

Never argue with a Python....

O:Is this a five minute
argument, or the full half hour?
M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.
O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.
Anyway, I did.
M: You most certainly did not!
O: Now let's get one thing perfectly clear: I most definitely told you!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did! ___
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! > very fast
M: Oh no you didn't! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! ___/
M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!

(pause)

O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

(pause)

M: It's just contradiction!
O: No it isn't!
M: It IS!
O: It is NOT!
M: You just contradicted me!
O: No I didn't!
M: You DID!
O: No no no!
M: You did just then!
O: Nonsense!
M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

(pause)

O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is!
(pause)
I came here for a good argument!
O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an *argument*!
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
O: Well! it CAN be!
M: No it can't!
An argument is a connected series of statement intended to establish a
proposition.
O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.
O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position!
M: Yes but it isn't just saying "no it isn't".
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just
the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
O: It is NOT!
M: It is!
O: Not at all!
M: It is!

>DING!< The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.

O: Thank you, that's it.
M: (stunned) What?

O: That's it. Good morning.
M: But I was just getting interested!
O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.
M: That was never five minutes!!
O: I'm afraid it was.
M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....

(pause)
O: (dirty look) I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
M: WHAT??
O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five
minutes.
M: But that was never five minutes just now!
(pause... the Other Man raises his eyebrows)
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!
O: I told you...
I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY!
M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are.
O: Thank you.
M: (clears throat) Well...
O: Well WHAT?
...and so on....

SHUT UP!!

[Steve_Stafford]

Does someone have a shrub for the original post or what?? :D

[beegee]

Old Crone: Agh! No! Never! We have no shrubberies here.

Arthur: If you do not tell us where we can buy a shrubbery, my friend and I will say... we will say... 'Ni'.

Old Crone: Agh! Do your worst!

Arthur: Very well! If you will not assist us voluntarily... Ni!

Old Crone: No! Never! No shrubs!

Arthur: Ni!

Bedevere: Nu! Nu!

Arthur: No, no, no, no -- it's not that, it's 'Ni'.

Bedevere: Nu!

Arthur: No, no -- 'Ni'. You're not doing it properly.

Sorry, .. but you did ask.

[truevis]

ARTHUR: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.
HEAD KNIGHT: One that looks nice.
ARTHUR: Of course.
HEAD KNIGHT: And not too expensive.
ARTHUR: Yes.
HEAD KNIGHT: NOWWWW.... GO!

Sooooo, does anyone have a shrub that can cast shadows which we may borrow?

If I have to make one the old fashion way, I'll post it.

You guys are weird... :)

[archjake]

I'm going to die laughing at work! I think I have tears!!!

On a serious note (if I catch my breath) Are you looking for a shrub when rendered, or a model / stick figure shrub for non renderings? Accurender has tons of plants. Just duplicate or create a plant family and assign/map what shrub you want to render. If you need the stick or outline of a shrub it shouldn't be too hard to create. You could always do the two 2 dimensional outlines at right angles to each other.

Good luck!

Put him in the cart
but..I'm not dead yet.

Need shrubs that cast shadows. I know all about the AccuRender plantings.

Well, here's my answer so far:
I went to http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ and got a shrubbery, made a big one and small one and put it in my family.
