If a tree fell across Paddy's driveway.......

[roo_ster]

Mmmm, I can smell the smoked brisket, now.

Beef, pork..its all good.

[The Annoyed Man]

Is that the Pacific peeking through past Casa de Paddy?
Looks ... peaceful.

Nope, I'm about 15 miles from the coast.  Those are the 'mountains' in between.

[Tallpine]

I'd have a dually diesel V10 F550 if she'd let me, but the 4WD Ranger is all I'm allowed.

Is that the biggest chainsaw she will let you have, too ?   

[Regolith]

Fistful, Budweiser is about to become a foreign beer.  It will soon be owned by a bunch of fat, collectivist Euroweenies.

Good. Euroweenies deserve that thin, flavorless, watery brew. 

Thin? Yes.  Watery? Quite.  Flavorless?  Not really.  It has a flavor.  It's just not a very good one.

Then again, I don't much care for beer anyway.  About the only type I've ever had that I could stand was Guinness.

[The Annoyed Man]

Is that the biggest chainsaw she will let you have, too ?   

I just knew somebody would bring that up.  I replaced the original 16" bar with the 14" you see. It rips. It's light enough for me to use with one hand, and since I'm not felling trees in the Pacific Northwest, serves my purposes just fine.

[Tallpine]

It's light enough for me to use with one hand,

and hold a beer in the other.

So how long did it take you to fill out and file the:

1. California Reduction in Natural Resources Conservation Act Environmental Impact Statement?

2. Master Californial Natural Resources Conservation Replacement Mitigation Plan

3. California Animal Resources Habitat Restoration Plan (aka the 'Kangaroo Rat Plan')

4. Permit to allow a tree to naturally fall?

5. Permit to remove a naturally fallen tree?

6. Appeal for the fine levied for allowing a California Natural Resource (the tree) to decay and fall

7. California Clean Air Act Pollution Impact Statement (for running the two-stroke chainsaw)

8. Exemption request to avoid filling out the California Natural Resources Hazardous Materials Environmental Release Impact Statement (those chainsaws drip oil, don't you know).

9.Noise pollution impact statement (those chainsaws are loud)

Irwin for the win!

I live about thirty minutes from A-B, so you best believe I've heard all about it.  All day, today, in fact.  Oh noes, the jobs!  Oh noes, what will befall the new Busch Stadium?  Oh the noes, they might close Grant's Farm!  Whatever that is.   

[Declaration Day]

And why is everybody dissing Budweiser?  It's a great American company with a popular product.

Only on APS can a discussion about fallen trees mutate into a beer quality thread. 

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

Good thinking!  Frees the other hand up for your boomstick.  Easier to kill Deadites.

[The Annoyed Man]

Mike, you're scarin' me.  I never heard of all that crap.  All I did was remove an obstruction on my driveway.

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' 

[K Frame]

"All I did was remove an obstruction on my driveway."

WITHOUT A PERMIT???

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRIGGING MIND?

[Perd Hapley]

Are we going to send Paddy some soap-on-a-rope, at his new home?

[Ben]

Mike, you're scarin' me.  I never heard of all that crap.

Consider yourself lucky Paddy -- the Treehuggers from down here -- real honest to goodness tie-dyed, chain themselves to a tree ones -- must not have made it up your way yet. Because down SB ways, the oaks are treated better than spotted owls. Everything Irwin said, and that's just if you decide you want to sit down and lean against one while you're out for a hike.

[xavier fremboe]

Okay.  Can someone post a synopsis or PM me about Gunkid, the tactical wheelbarrow, and soap on a rope?  This is the fourth time in two days.  All the old stuff seems to have been disappeared...

[Boomhauer]

Gunkid- worthless loser who would haunt internet forums, preaching his fantasies about .22 rifles for SHTF (he called it the "balloon going up". He was arrested a while back...

Tactical Wheelbarrow- a Gunkid invention, what he would use to cart his crap around in.

Soap on a roap- i.e., don't drop the soap in prison (or onboard a ship in the Navy) or you will be assraped.

Ah.  Much obliged...  If it's not too much, what was he arrested for?

Right after you complete "Remedial List Numbering 1A: Too many Fives give me Hives".

[Tallpine]

From what I hear, Colorado is not far behind California on rules and regulations 

My friends down there say you need something like 50 permits just to build a vacation cabin, and you can't even cut a tree off your land without a permit. 

My new neighbor was out here for the past week - he was asking me what kind of permits he needed to build another building.  I told him that he could build anything he wanted, and just needed a permit/inspection for sewer system.

Thats their boy.  If he wasn't currently under lock and key, I'd suspect he'd have a Ron Paul sign in front of his trailer and a Chewbacca costume stashed with the assault wheelbarrow. 

[Silver Bullet]

Oh the noes, they might close Grant's Farm! 

I've been to Grant's Farm.  It wasn't really very interesting to me, except for a bird show they had.  Some interesting facts about how an eagle could read a headline (if it could read) from ... a long ways away.

The best part of the show was at the very end, where one of the trained birds stuck his head and a wing through a wooden cutout letter 'A', about 12 inches high, and perfectly mimiced the Anheuser-Busch logo.  I dunno how they trained that bird to do that.

[K Frame]

"I didn't know edgy loners had a poster child."

Nah, even the edgy loners rejected that 'tard.

I believe it was Tamara on THR/TFL who was particularly adept at sniffing him out.
