San Diego Daily News, Monday, February 25, 2002
Late last night in the wee hours of the morning a neighbour reported a noisy dog barking around 211 Laurel Street. Simultaneously a report came into the local Police Station regarding suspicious looking characters combing the neighbourhood on Lincoln Street.
The Brugmansia Detectives were alerted by an unknown source and dispatched to both addresses. The detectives and Brugaholic Anonymous Capture Squard pulled up at both homes some distance away from the scenes and watched from unmarked cars.
Several women were seen performing a sort of "Snake-like Dance", creeping on the ground and giggling. Two were purported to be dressed in bathing suits not common to the San Diego region as it was noted they were not thong bathing suits. One women was toting stale Girl Guide cookies. It is believed that the women may have inhaled the blossoms of Brugmansia flowers and were in Estatic Trances.
Detectives radio dispatched a call to the station for backup and a couple of Paddy Wagons. Police Central called the local hospital to alert them they were bringing in several women and one male all in Estatic Brugmansia Dance.
Meanwhile, the male suspect emerged with a couple of large ladders and climbed up into one of the Brugsmansia trees. The women were handing him small, suspicious, plastic containers. Immediately the Brugaholic Anonymous Capture Squad jumped from their vehicles to apprehend the suspects. They were caught in the act of applying a suspicious looking sustance of unknown origin to the inside of the flowers. The Dectectives seiged the sustance for lab analysis on a tip it may have been from European origin.
Suspects were rounded up and taken to hospital where all laughing and giggling ceased. Blood tests were taken to check whether the group had foreign sustances accounting for previous uncontrolled laughter.
The male ring leader called himself Eclipse Dionysus and the women referred to themselves as Brugmansia Maenids. A further update of the situation will follow.

Brugman and Cala,
Sorry to halt your heart for a moment there, but I took pieces of these women's previous post and just turned in into a story. These stories do contain a tongue in cheek warning...not paranoid here at all, but I still believe that everyone should use a certain amount of caution when we post on this forum due to a past presence here.
Kyle,
Wut u mean did they find the plants? U were carryin the ladder...LOL. Nah, u joined after I started the "Roving Brugmansia Reporter" series here.
The series has a rather serious history behind it...It all started with the U.S. position on the import of Brugs into the U.S. Then a person who used to be a member here caused some serious trouble and Aphis were sent to Cala's house to check her plants. This person knew that Cala had a couple of European imports. To make a long story short, Cala's plants were inspected and they turned out to be just fine.
In the meantime you will get used to my humour. Peace.
