Super Stetich Bros.

We found this mushroom growing on the lawn of our apartment complex near our covered spot where Lisa parks her car.



Lisa thought maybe if she ate it she could become Super Lisa, growing to twice her size and gaining the ability to smash bricks with her bare hand (but only while jumping upward).

No, seriously though, this looks like Amanita muscaria, a mushroom regarded not only as somewhat toxic, but hallucinogenic. Looks like it's gone now; I wonder if somebody ate it....

Actually, now that I think about it, it does look like that mushroom the bear cub eats in the 1988 movie L'Ours. I remember seeing this movie as a kid, though it was billed in English as The Bear. As is generally the case with about anything you can think of, somebody was good enough to post a clip of this to YouTube:



Ah, that brings back the memories.

That's quite the video clip. I'm glad you didn't let Lisa eat that mushroom!
