What do you guys call these little . . .

[Jay300ex]

I call them Neddles. Usually found all pretty forested trails, green plants with little hairs, if you touch then they'll hurt and ich like a mofo!!! well I took a turn a little to wide today, and I wear short sleeves usually for riding,, got my whole arm swollen from these stupid things!! god it hurt.

Just thought I'd share something that annoys me ;)

We used to take stinging nettles, pull them up carefully and chase each other around with them. Man they hurt!

[big-guy]

there's a natural remedy for sting nettles, and it's probably growing nearby. Find a fern, not the ones that all grow from a central spot, but the ones that have their own stalk, break the stem and rub the juice on the trouble spot. Ahh, relief.

Kinda looks like this:

i dont think we have too many of those around here all we have thorns that get you bleeding everywhere

Yea we have thorns here to. Yestarday I was out riding with some friends and we were stuck taking runs at ramming down shrubs that were 3 feet tall and in our way, lol couldnt do it without the 4x4 though.

The thorns I hate are those ones that just appear one day and werent there the last. grr.
