These are horseapples. Or that's what we called 'em in Mississippi, anyway. Other folks call 'em hedgeapples or osage oranges. They grow from some kind of tree and they're weird as hell. They're fun to throw, but they're dangerous to pick up because they leak this milky crap that gets all over your hands.

I have no idea what made me think of horseapples yesterday, but for a few seconds it was a big deal. Fucking HORSEAPPLES!

I used to see those things in Illinois all the time. We called them osage oranges.

Yesterday I thought "horse apple" was another term for "road apple", if you get my drift. ;)

Oh yeah, I think we did that too! They're REALLY scary-lookin' inside.

They don't look so dangerous.

leaking milky crap all over my hands ;)
Overshare? perhaps.

I've been wondering what those were. There's a tree of them across from my apt.

Toss a few of those brain-looking things in the corners of your house and cupboards and they are supposed to drive off the creepy critters.

I don't know about fleas ;-p
