What the terrorists don't understand, is how big we are.

Why just look at one of our trees...

Take that, doody heads.

there's a whole sub ecosystem up there at the top of those trees. fascinating stuff

And right now, Rush Limbaugh is looking at that picture and saying to himself, "What good is that tree unless it gets cut down and turned into lumber to be sold so someone can make a profit off of it?"

I wonder how many tree huggers are living in stick frame housing?

There are trees, and then there are trees.

I'm a woodworker, and I live in a partially stick framed house, but even I want to see a remarkable and rare specimen like the tree in the original post preserved for my kids and grandkids to see.

No, he's looking at that picture and saying to himself, "How wonderful it will be when that tree is cut down, turned into lumber, and made into a professional baseball bat or a concert grand piano."

Just remember to quote the Maha Rushi properly!

No baseball bats from redwood, pianos either, as far as I know.

OMG, that Rush song is one of my favorites. :::applause:::

My love for Rush is very nearly equal to my love for Cat . . . .

Gravdigr · 10-17-2010, 02:43 AM

I think it's better as a poem than as a song.

Those Hobbits can climb that thing all they want - it's not going to help the Ent council reach a decision any faster.

Maybe they're trying to find the female Ents.
