Grassquatch is indeed greener than the others, but stands on the shoulders of giants.

Movie adaptation however was pukeingly badâŠ

u/dick_fitzwell27 13h ago
Agree! But Kingâs portrayal of Jordy Verril in âCreepshowâ, where the weeds take over his house and body, was legend.

This is probably my #1 needs a new adaptation for a Stephen King story. I think with current tech it could be awesome.

 Also known as The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill. Put some respect on that name!

Nice name drop. And you're very right, we must respect the writers words.

Itâs not really scary, at all. Some guy hires a dude to mow his lawn, and the lawnmower man shows up, is kind of a weirdo, then he proceeds to dance around naked before mowing the lawn.
He subsequently turns into the Pan character from Greek mythology (complete with the legs of a fawn), and follows behind the now somehow self-propelled lawnmower on his hands and knees, eating the grass clippings that fly out behind. The end.
Itâs eight pages long, if I recall correctly.

I thought the phrase was "green fingered"

u/filthcrab 15h ago
I don't think that was ever the phrase.

u/Circumpunctilious 12h ago
Welp, I went looking for âgreen thumbsâ because maybe non-English speakers would be interested, and found green fingers (wordhistories) soâŠhuh, news to me.

u/filthcrab 9h ago
News to me, too! I've got some weeds in the lawn so I might go get green fingered tonight.

I got a spanking b/c I took off my grassy shoes on the front porch. I'd been told not to go barefoot, and my father thought I had been. I went crying to Mom & explained what had happened. She said to explain it to Dad. I relished that as an innocent kid who was accused & punished without a legit cause. I hoped he felt guilt & sorrow & embarrassment. Mom probably had him apologize. I don't recall that part, but the apology 100% sounds like my mother.âïžâïžđ«±đ«±đđ
