SagarisGTB Messages 3,207 Sep 5, 2014 #2 Meh. It's iconic, but to me not as cool as bamboo or big conifers. Last edited: Sep 5, 2014

JMoney Messages 2,260 N. Jessamine, KY Messages JMoney-689 Messages Woodside689 Sep 5, 2014 #5 It's a plant that just smugly sits there with the knowledge that no other living creature can touch it. Sub-Zero...even though it's in a hot desert.

Except for the birds that nest in the holes they carve out. And the various animals that eat them (Including us occasionally).

Dagger311 Messages 6,658 Marietta, GA Messages Dagger31198 Sep 5, 2014 #7 I grabbed one when I was a little kid, cause I thought they only hurt in cartoons. I was wrong. But still a cool plant.

The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 Sep 5, 2014 #8 Eh. Maybe it could serve as an acupuncture tool sometime soon. But generally a boring plant. Uncool.
CinnamonOD It's not over yet! Premium Messages 5,305 Tijuana, B.C. Messages MRT_Cinnamon Sep 5, 2014 #9 When the family traveled through the Sonora Desert, I always tried to count every cacti I saw Kept me entertained and in a happy mood, even though I always lost the count in the 200's Cool

JMoney Messages 2,260 N. Jessamine, KY Messages JMoney-689 Messages Woodside689 Sep 5, 2014 #10 Keep in mind that it's a plant. Plants are usually boring, but a cactus is actually interesting, and thus, cool.

Aesthetics Messages 2,798 Arizona Messages Will1amC Messages killvvill Sep 5, 2014 #12 I live near them. Big Meh for me. Will become seriously uncool if I ever get pushed into one.

W3H5 New Member Premium Messages 30,250 Thailand Sep 5, 2014 #14 Uncool because spiky, tequila and irritatingly painful for cartoon baddies.
niky Karma Chameleon Staff Emeritus Messages 23,800 Philippines Sep 5, 2014 #15 You'd look like a total prick driving one. Meh.
JAHHAJ Messages 3,190 Devon Messages julessy98 Messages Jahhaj6 Sep 5, 2014 #16 niky You'd look like a total prick driving one. Meh. Click to expand... Anyway I voted Sub Zero because, it's very iconic and most living things (if not all) can touch it.

TheCracker Nothing to see here... Premium Messages 24,262 It/It Messages GTP_TheCracker Sep 5, 2014 #22 Except cacti aren't related to the plant that tequila is made from. [/killjoy]
axletramp Never trust a fart. Premium Messages 19,013 Jersey V.1.0 Messages axletramp Sep 5, 2014 #23 It's green and spiky and comes from somewhere hot. That's all I need to know.
C-ZETA Messages 11,129 Bromley Messages V16T91 Messages E0nLeader Sep 5, 2014 #24 Awfully prickly. And, undoubtedly, you won't be cool, when you see one.

MoLiEG Messages 6,722 Mexico City Messages MoLieG Sep 5, 2014 #27 Yep. Agaves are huge, and are not related to cactus. But it's a common mistake.
