I thought about making a corny ABC's of Permaculture and slapped it on a photo of mine. It's hard to use all of the letters in order, but I tried. Lemme know what you think if you think anything.

Alright, a few more have made it through the Sounding Board thread.



If you can, try to link this to Paul's Richsoil article.

I would probably link this to the Permies homepage or maybe the What is Permaculture? thread.

I'm kind of thinking that a link to the Lawn Care for the Cheap and Lazy article would be a good intro to someone who was attracted to this meme.

This one's a shoe-in for a link to the Rocket Stove Mass Heater article.

So Paul is always talking about how rocket mass heaters are such a luxurious source of heat, because of the butt warming aspect, so I had this idea while I was putting together some promotion.



I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I think it would be a great idea to get a meme photo of Paul, sitting like the Dos Equis guy (only holding a bottle of juice or something, since he doesn't drink), and sitting quite luxuriously on a rocket mass heater bench with the caption

"I don't always stay warm, but when I do, it's with a rocket mass heater."

or

"I don't always toast my buns, but when I do, it's on a rocket mass heater."

Something goofy and promotional for the Better Wood Heat set, I think it'd be a lot of clicks! What do we say, any Ants or Wheaton Labs residents up to the challenge? Is Paul willing to participate?

"If meat is murder, tilling is killing!"


That being said, I eat meat, but do not till. I can't wait til self-righteous proclamations that "I only eat no till" replace "I'm veeegannn"

This is all just my opinion based on a flawed memory
