I received a Chia Scooby for Christmas. It’s a bit of a paradox gift for me actually, because it combines one of my biggest childhood loves (Rooby Roo!) with something that I simply cannot do (make anything grow). But I decided to give it the old college try, and I’m actually succeeding. True, Scooby does look a bit like he’s growing a mohawk rather than a full head of Chia hair, but I like him looking a bit punk anyway.

Of course, this started me thinking about other speciality Chia heads I would love to see, like Chia Tribbles, Chia Roseanne Roseannadanna, Chia Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version only, please), Chia Mr. T…it’s quite an endless game, really.

Now, if I could just grow a Chia Bed here in my office, maybe I can start working on reclaiming that hour that was stolen from me this weekend…
