What do a newborn pygmy hippopotamus and the author of this post have in common? 

Well, for beginners, we’re both titans of our industries, no-nonsense, generally very attractive, and willing to bite your face if need be. Technically speaking, we’re basically the same person. 

You could say that Moo and I are like the Highlander in our own regards:

All seeing, all gnawing, all powerful, internet sensations, and capable of decapitating the competition, figuratively speaking, with relative ease. 

“Whoa there”, you might say; or “easy does it digital Doo Deng. Who’s to say you can do enough to make me say ‘oh dang’ or swing a doodad worthy of playing with the big boys?”

Me, that’s who, and a few hundreds Google reviews confirming as much. Check them out for my store:

A House of Pots

*1620 w 74th way Denver CO 80221

Friday through Sunday (for now)

From 12 to 6

When you’re at A House of Pots, you’re not only at the home of low, low prices that houses a stellar selection of houseplants and pottery, you’re also at the residence of the Pot Game’s Moo Deng and his ill-tempered sidekick, Ru Deng.

Ru Deng and Pot Game Moo Deng might be adorable, but they’ve also got a point: one is an icon, the other is a legend, and they both are the moment.

Let me count the ways that Moo Deng and A House of Pots are one and the same, but first, feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way:

Here are some similarities to chew on:

* Both Moo Deng’s body and AHOP’s (A House of Pots) price points are pygmy sized

* Moo Deng and the shopkeep both love to sleep, explaining why the shop seldom opens on time

* Ru Deng and Moo Deng are both loveable, moist little dirtballs, explaining why we love them so

* People travel to see AHOP and Moo Deng (MD) from far and wide to witness our powers firsthand

* We’re all naturals behind the camera and star in a bevy of internet videos (@ahouseofpots), but you need to understand, we don’t perform (other than in business) upon command

* Neither MD or AHOP were born in Colorado, but Ru Deng was (RD), in a big time way

* Relatively speaking, both RD and MD are big time draws, but the drawback is you never know if they’re going to perform or even show up at all 

* Above all, AHOP is about those pots and being the best in this regard without comparison, just like how Moo is head and shoulders the best hippo in all the land 

* AHOP, MD, and RD are all wholly ungovernable and adorable little scamps

* Contrary to popular belief, MD and RD cannot read, write, vote, or refrain from relieving themselves in public 

* Because they are pygmies, it would appear as if Moo Deng and Ru Deng’s appendages are not fully mature

* MD and RD are shy and usually run away instead of fighting. When frightened, they tend to seek refuge in dense forest rather than diving into water. However, if they are in danger, they might try to intimidate predators by opening their mouth wide to reveal formidable teeth.

* Provoked and left unsupervised, MD, RD, and AHOP are liable to chomp the legs off the competition

* MD and RD both stand about 80 cm tall

* When disappointed visitors see Ru Deng sleeping instead of bouncing around, they splash water on him or toss pieces of broken pottery in his direction

* Y’all still with me? I’ll talk about pots for a moment then.

AHOP is a store, and consider it yours in the mi casa es su casa kind of sense. If you’re sensing there’s something next level going here, you’re absolutely correct.

Senses fail when you stumble upon this pot house overloaded with house plants such as philodendron, potted cactus, pothos, monstera, thai constellation, snake plants, spiders, assorted cacti, ficus, dieffenbachia, string of pearls, and string of hearts. All of these photosynthetic friends and beyond are priced dirt cheap in the sense that they cost less here compared to most other businesses. 

How is this so you might ask? I’m glad you asked. 

While traversing the digital jungles of the United States with my trusty pygmy Ru Deng by my side, I stumbled onto a trick that lets me buy plants directly from growers instead of relying on the traditional systems of local resupply. 

Coupled with a gawd given ability to purchase semi trucks of pottery, A House of Pots, like Moo Deng, is a force to be reckoned with. 

Pottery ranges from $0.50 on the smallest terracotta and $5 on a 9.8” standard clay to $60 on a 16” glazed planter and $90 on several taller 18” options. 

Handmade Mexican ceramics are currently in stock with tiny Talavera costing between $10 and $25 on table top sizes with 12” and 16” options priced at $50 and $100. Hand crafted cylinders range from $35 to $190 on 6” to 18” options and include a matching tray. 

There’s also a host of assorted glazed ceramic planters as low as $5 and in the $20 range for up to 10”. 

Ask in person how a person can receive up to 50% off all their plants. Almost all foliage costs between $5 and $55 after discounts and free clippings are available upon request. Here are some other free things offer:

The aforementioned free clippings / cuttings

Little terracotta pots for accompanying children

Photo ops with Ru Deng

Potting services

Extra soil

Broken pottery bits

Damaged pots beyond the point of sale

Pallets

Cardboard 

Styrofoam

Anecdotes 

Life stories 

Things Ru Deng wanted to sell at my store but I just give em to you for free

Bathroom privileges 

I might let you break something 

Broken pot forgiveness 

But for goodness sake, realize that this is a store, this post is a gimmick, and the point of it all is that you gon’ gimme some of that sweet cheddar for some good pots and plants that are better than a Moo Deng meme in an ugly xmas sweater.

Oh, I forgot, there’s free pottery jargon too, and it’s Moo Deng themed:

Parker comes running up I-25 of the Centennial State to plant themselves like a tree at this plant store near me after some guy goes on and on about gardening and Moo Deng content. Ru Deng loves a yard sale, dislikes Littleton, Fort Collins, and Commerce City, but loves making planters out of coffee cups for the good people of Loveland, Federal Heights and Westminster. Listen up mister, this is a planter estate sale that people from Longmont to Northglenn travel to for plants near me and terracotta pottery without Colorado trademark price hiking. Behold: AHOP is the holder of jargon, pottery barn and the keys to the best pottery store near me. Venture out from Brighton, Broomfield, or Thornton to see why this plant shop isn’t just fishing with the Moo Deng comparisons. This pottery shop is ungovernable, just like your gardens, and it’s built for those without a Boulder budget. This pottery shop near me is the Moo Deng of porcelain pots, adorable plants, and Golden succulents. Succulent like a gilded pygmy hippopotamus, you’ll want to bite the leg o*f your nearest loved one when you see what great deals AHOP has on monstera, faux cement / fiber concrete, and red clay for your garden. A Denver gardener loves philodendron and Aurora needs to grow aloe, but Wheat Ridge, Castle Rock, and Erie just need pots near me, and Moo Deng references. AHOP is a green greenhouse of a shop just north of Lakewood with lots ceramics, plant matter, unique cactus, and pot climbing like you wouldn’t believe.So if you need pottery near me like little Moo Deng needs a rest, look for this Superior stoneware and forget the rest, because cacti is the best, and these garage sale prices mean you should drive from Greeley without second guess. I’ve ceramic mcm options you can caress, or use as a plant stand if you see that as best, for many indoor trees in need from Louisville to Colorado Springs. 

In short, my pot game, like Moo Deng’s internet fame, is long. The value I bring can do no wrong. Ru Deng might be a sideshow, but the main attraction is how all this accumulation is  gnawing away at the competition, undercutting their margins with pygmy sized prices. 

You could say that A House of Pots is biting the legs off the powers that be, leaving expensive alternatives without much of a leg to stand on. 

<< You thought I was done? Gnaw son. You gnaw what I mean? Pot game Moo Deng is here to stay and was born one of one. >>
