    Okay so tonight the pyromaniac in me came out, and I asked myself what would happen if I tried to set a Dandelion Clock on fire

    It's awesome, for two seconds it explodes into a mini fireball and then goes out

    Everyone go outside, find a dandelion clock and light the head of it on fire

    If you find a cluster of them together you won't be disappointed :pac:

    Yep. They're called Piss-a-beds when they're yellow and clocks when it's the seed head. When I was little it was believed that you could tell what time it was by how many puffs it took to blow all the seeds away.

    The rhyme I said was Jinny Joe Jinny Joe bring me back an eggieo
    but jinnys joes were the white part of the dandelion flying in the wind when you caught a flying seed in the air and if there was a seed attached you could make a wish

    Also tried lighting the clocks on fire tonight it was fecking great :pac::pac::pac::pac:

    They're called jinny joes, their purpose in life is to grant wishes and bring back easter eggs.
    There is no such thing as a dandelion clock!

    Considering that some people are calling them Jinny Joes (WTF?) I think we can agree that pissy/pissa is a quirk of pronunciation.

    We will agree on no such thing! It's "Piss In The Bed"
    Nothing else.
    Speak more proper!!
