YES!! \o/

[Janice]

Did you hug a tree today?

Hi Kogijiki, welcome!

[Scout]

We have a tree in my town that we call The Great Oak. It's said to be over three hundred years old. It would take four of us to hug this tree.

[Félix]

This reminds me of the treaty Oak in Austin that almost died from being deliberately poisoned.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Awful. It doesn't look 500 years old, does it? The trunk doesn't seem big enough. Maybe that's a bad angle.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yeah, that's not the tree's best angle. I'm finding photos where the trunk looks much bigger.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Scout]

There's a tree ordinance here that requires permission from the city council to cut oaks. Is this common in other towns?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I think so. I certainly hear all the time about people illegally cutting trees, usually to improve their views, then being fined or criminally charged.

[Scout]

People can cut down trees as long as they can pay the fines or hire a lawyer. Having money makes doing crappy things and getting away with them easier.

Amazing! Love learning new fun facts about the world: 80,000 year old root system - wow! Who'd of thunk it?

P.S. Thinking I should add thunk to the misused words thread.. still seems appropriate ;)

Is this a hint at your identity?

It's a southern live oak. Their trunks don't tend to get as big around. They spread out if there is space around them, with many of the main parts actually growing horizontally.

Perhaps LG is Scooter Libby.

That was Anthony Wiener's plan, too.

Or a groupie on a scooter.

*is also a fan of trees*

People who would poison trees should be forced to ingest whatever they tried on the tree.

[kogijiki (covered in mud)]

Phil: HAHAHA!!

Jammies: Oh, nice one. }:-)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Perhaps I am Dick Cheney. Or Tim Russert.

When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal,
Yes I shine like the morning sun...

If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder!

I love this board! LOL!!

You been drinking again LG?

Maybe there's something in this tapwater.

Is it again or yet?

I think Cynthia has been into LG's tapwater.

[Jonathan]

Is that the same song as "A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie for a gal who he thinks is fun"?

[Mark]

Being quite the lazy poster I have one thing to say... "Hello and welcome to anybody new from the last two or three months."

[Cynthia]

Jonathan wrote: "Is that the same song as "A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie for a gal who he thinks is fun"?"

You got it! From the very fine musical "Annie Get Your Gun."

[Jonathan]

Any song that includes pajamas has something going for it.

[Phil]

The pajama game is the game I'm in.

[Jonathan]

That's another good musical.

[Jammies]

Jonathan, how about an internet identity that includes pajamas?

[Sarah]

it's a losing race when you're racing with the

I'm surprised nobody asked me it I was so lazy that I was sticking to a wall to stay upright after the 'poster' comment of mine.

Hi Gail!

How's the dead brain going? Or is that what the cotton is for?

BTW, the rules don't mention the penalty (or bonus points) for using 'yer' instead of you're.

[Félix]

Perpetration of said crime may or may not result in extreme flaming, or at a minimum, writhing.

I'M quick with the trigger,
With targets not much bigger
than a pin-point,
I'm number one
But my score with the fellers
Is lower than a celler
Oh you can't get a Man with a gun!

C'mon sing with me, LG!
I'll Let you borrow my swell chaps!

[Cynthia]

Sure, Phil, are you made of suede and fringe? Yee Haw!

OH, Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out

Still you wouldn't trade it for a sack of gold
