I believe modern bonsai thinking is only one insult per year?

You have to push it to the limit, otherwise we never get to that next level all the professionals talk about.

Hmmm... I think dwarf is on the shitlist, too.

Never took it as one. The theme is "insults" so I frivolously went with the word.

Whilst the term most commonly referred to a little person, it also refers to a little thing...

In light of this topic... no xylem, no phloem.

1- you looked better in the ground (dark but I can't help it)
2- small cones eh?
3- you call that a branch? more like a twig.
4- I wouldn't even use your leaves to wipe with.
5- you're getting sap everywhere.
6- what taper?

“Man, I’m all for literati, but that’s basically just a sapling.”
”I know what you mean. I get all excited about seeing some slender, curvaceous forms, but that right there is nothin’ but a stick in a pot!”
“Still, rather that than that fatty. I just can’t tell where the nebari ends and the trunk begins...”
“Woah! Check out Acer over there, he’s got his roots right over that rock.”
”You know, I’m glad for him. He’s always trying to expose his roots and finally he got an anchor point.”
“Yea but everyone’s had a turn on that rock. I bet she doesn't even know his cultivar...”

It depends on who you are listening to, and how horrible the insults discussed. I have found that the time of year you throw and insult at a tree is more important than the nature of the insult. Near 60yrs experience insulting trees at the wrong time of year.

There are two forms of bonsai out there that have for years had a built in escape clause allowing the developer to claim the tree is a wonderful bonsai without demonstrating any beauty at all: First the Literati: only important to be skinny and uninteresting and second: The ubiquitious American Bonsai where critique is not allowed. It is after all an American bonsai not definable by Japanese standards, or anyone else's for that matter. It really becomes interesting and madening, when both are involved.

I have so many dumb jokes for this thread although i still like my earlier one the best lol
"i can't look at you the same since Mauro had his hands all over you"
"you are so disgusting, your feet are covered in fungus"
"Hey englemann, you look terrible in that glazed pot and are not going out like that, go back and change"
"I don't why you are so juvenile procumbens, can't you just be mature like shimpaku"

Or, is he just playing the straight faced genius?

Well there we go. Two styles which mirror the human equivalent, perhaps?
