Ha, ha! Your mushrooms are gone.

Without cheating, can anyone tell me what that's from? Post the answer, take a guess, or post your own line from a movie, book, poem, song, etc. here.

I've been enjoying the movie line and song lyric threads lately.

Good Luck!

1. Wow

I just had a flash back from the 60s when my roommate ate all my shrooms.

2. If your rommate ate them...

...shouldn't HE be having the flashback?

:evilgrin:

But actually, we're talking morel here.

3. This reminds me of an episode from a certain web comic

[rbnyc]

5. LOL

Cool Comic.

4. Mario Brothers movie?

:shrug:

[rbnyc]

6. Nope. Sorry.

I really am talking morels here. I swear!

7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

It seems like that's where I heard that line.

[rbnyc]

8. Nope. It's not from a movie.

I guess it's a little more obscure than I thought. But it's a line that's stayed with me for years, since I first heard the work when I was in college.


There’s a street in Stony Point in a
lowland near the river where a number of
species of mushrooms grow abundantly.
I visit this street often.
A few years ago in May I found
the morel there, a choice mushroom
which is rare around Rockland County.
I was delighted.
None of the people living on this street
ever talk to me while I’m collecting
mushrooms. Sometimes children
come over and kick at them before I
get to them. Well,
the year after I found the
morel, I went back in May
expecting to find it again, only
to discover that a cinder-block house
had been put up where the mushroom had
been growing. As I looked
at the changed land, all the
people in the neighborhood came out on
their porches. One of
them said, “Ha, ha!
Your mushrooms are gone.”



Find the hidden hint. ;-)

9. I found it but, then again, I know your MO

[rbnyc]

10. Indeed!

:hi:

Good morning, beautiful!

:)

11. No one knows?

And no one wants to add their own? Sigh.

12. Googled it

Is that cheating? :shrug:

[rbnyc]

13. Yes, but at this point I think that's fine.

Have you ever heard it? I think it's amazing.
