I was tempted to join in the "Who can grow the biggest onion in a bucket" competition
but I thought that if I did that, I might as well go the whole hog and chew on a stalk of grass, give townies bad directions and marry my sister (not that I have one).

You can take the bumpkin out of the village, but you cant take the village out of the bumpkin.

Really large ones can do that, but the bucket (and it ought to be a non-ferrous one) stops the dendritic proto-podia from forming properly, and that inhibits any further venomous developments. Ooo arr, s'tru dat.
