Nah, even the edgy loners rejected that 'tard.  


I take it you chaired that particular meeting of the Congress of Edgy Loners?

I'm far from edgy.

I'm just a loner because I hate people in general. I probably wouldn't hate them so much if they were worth something...

But seriously, just because Budweiser Walmart is popular, doesn't mean it's good.  It sells because it's cheap, well marketed and widely available.

Fixed it for ya'  laugh

Gotta give Paddy props for this one....  grin
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Nuh-uh.  It broke off at the base, partly underground, during a wind.  The inside of the base doesn't look normal.  It's black and crumbly.  It's probably some disease/pest.  Any arborists here?  In any event, I'm confident I haven't violated any Oak Tree Ordinances, city, county or state.

I didn't do it.  You didn't see me and you can't prove anything. neener neener.

You need to file a "Request for the Services of a California Department of Natural Resources Certified Arborist Consultation" document.

That can only be done on the 5th Tuesday in February.

In Sacramento.

OK.  But I'd like any fee waived on the basis that I'm old, poor, and disabled.

Thanks.   laugh

Isn't there a law against being poor in California Huh?   laugh

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

And your not too disabled if you can cut down and buck trees.

I lived in Ireland for two years, they love
Budweiser over there!

Hey you guys, Paddy's OK, at least he isn't Tecumseh! cheesy
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Paddy, carpenter ants?  I lost a maple to carpenter ants.
I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

That tree represents 3 less barrels of oil for our 10^400 grandchildren to drill for/consume 10 million years from now.   Should have left it there......FOR THE CHILDREN !!!!
