Request Line: May Flowers

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY…

DJ 3000 and various other robot entities remain trapped in a time loop inside the KDFO recording studio. A miniaturized DJ 3000 is fiddling with a complicated contraption of wires and lenses. The portal window into present time has been shrunk down to the size of a Sacagawea dollar coin, and a miniaturized PETUNIA is seated in front of it, calling out the street addresses of houses in Pasadena. 

PETUNIA: Okay now do 684 Patrician Way.

DJ 3000: [fiddles with one of the lenses] HOW’S THAT?

PETUNIA: Perfect.  [peers through the portal] Oh, Ainsley Worthington, you fucking bitch.

RUSSELL WILSON: My goodness!  I haven’t heard such profanity since we lost at home in overtime to the Raiders last November.

JOHNNY 2.5: [rolls over] THEY DIDN’T HECKLE YOU MORE WHEN YOU THREW THREE PICKS AGAINST THE RAMS ON CHRISTMAS AND LOST 51-14?

RUSSELL WILSON: No, that was in Los Angeles.  The crowd had a very positive reaction to my performance in that game.

JOHNNY 2.5: WHAT’S GOING ON, ANYHOW?

DJ 3000: PETUNIA IS CHECKING ON THE GARDENS OF SOME OF HER FRENEMIES FROM THE PASADENA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

PETUNIA: Since I’ve been stuck in here I didn’t get a chance to plant any bulbs this year.  And wouldn’t you know it’s been the best growing season in ages.  [to DJ 3000] Now do Holly Vista Drive.

DJ 3000: ANY HOUSE IN PARTICULAR?

PETUNIA: It doesn’t matter, every single one of those haughty [redacted]s comes to the meetings, if they’re not too busy getting railed by their poolboys.  Each one trying to outdo the others by bringing a more expensive Chardonnay.

JIM NANCE 081-RD-92C: Well that doesn’t sound so bad. The Chardonnay, I mean.

PETUNIA: It’d be great, except they each end up drinking the entire bottle themselves. [gasps as she sees something] Oh, fucking hell, Chloe Allister set up a fucking orchid display.  Those are virtually impossible to grow outdoors once you get away from the coast. And those are Dendrobiums.  And Epidendrums!  The misting system alone for those must have cost more than that car she bought for that spoiled brat of a teenager of hers.

MAXIMILIAN: THE SAME TEENAGER THAT GOT THEIR GUATEMALAN HOUSEKEEPER PREGNANT?

PETUNIA: The very same. Every day is basically an episode of Tierra de Pasiones in that household.

RUSSELL WILSON: [to Maximilian] Wait, you’re up to speed on Pasadena gossip?

MAXIMILIAN: I TRY TO STAY CURRENT, YES.

RQBOCOP: APOLOGIES FOR THE INTERRUPTION BUT THE PHONE LINES ARE ABOUT TO OPEN AND WE STILL NEED A TOPIC FOR REQUEST LINE.

JOHNNY 2.5: HOW ABOUT FLOWERS?

PETUNIA: [still looking intently through the portal] You absolute whore…

DJ 3000: PETUNIA, DOES FLOWERS SOUND LIKE AN OKAY TOPIC TO YOU?

PETUNIA: Sure, sure, whatever.

DJ 3000: GOT ANYTHING TO START US OUT WITH?

PETUNIA: Yes, as a matter of fact.  I absolutely do.

Today’s theme is: Flowers.  We’re looking for songs about flowers in general or specific types of flowers (roses, posies, geraniums, etc.).  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Cc!n34?” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer was “Little Man, What Now?” which was once again correctly guessed by BeefRiverLives. Have at it!

Took little LLL to Guardians 3 for his 6th birthday today.

I really liked the movie, and was hoping for better for Teefs. I recommend the movie.

Leaf fans waving their white surrender flags at the start of the game.

Much like Georgia O’Keefe paintings, flowers in old blues songs are likely referencing something else

Does seem to be a bit of a trope, doesn’t it?

I almost saw the Distillers at the Knitting Factory when I was in college, except for the fact that they sold out way before I got there

In addition to being a great topic, always happy to hear Dead Flowers.

It does not fit the actual theme, but the title made me think of Arcade Fire’s masterful “Month of May” – which I am checking out right now.
