1. Park twice as far from the tree as the tree is tall.
2. It helps to notch the tree away from the truck.
3. The fact that you live within driving distance
of a forest does not make you a lumberjack.
and
4. Just to be on the safe side, always borrow your buddy's truck.
I guess that means he has to give his buddy half the firewood, huh?

Posted by: Jim - PRS on November 13, 2004 05:33 PMThat's a big-ass tree. Kinda reminds me of when I was about four, my Dad got pissy-assed drunk one night, hopped on the snowmobile and disappeared for three hours. My Mom got all wound up and worried. He finally returned around midnight, dragging a 20 foot tree behind the snowmobile. He unhooked it from the snowmobile and tried to drag it up the back steps into the house. He ended up lopping off the top five feet just so it would sit against the wall in the living room under the 15 ft peak of the ceiling. There was dirt, snow and needles everywhere and my mother about had a stroke. "Der's yer Chisssmasss treeeee.." my Dad finished, before falling down on the floor, passed out for the next seven hours.
Ok, so it had nothing to do with firewood, but there was a tree involved and it was funny.

Posted by: Dan S on November 13, 2004 09:51 PMAt our home, we once
had a tree
had a Dad
had a story
had 'something';
Ahhhhhh, well! Such is life ................huh.
Trying HARD to ignore all that 'reality' ......trying HARD to toe the party-line.
Is it OK to ACK that reading here has led me to further-belief in optimism?
Regards!
Posted by: Dan S on November 14, 2004 05:55 AMHmmmm....probably a blue-state moonbat trying to committ suicide. He forgot to run and climb into the cab as the tree was starting to fall. It seems they can't even get that right!
Posted by: Vulgorilla on November 14, 2004 07:08 AMYou can tell he is not a lumberjack because he color coordinated his shirt with his truck. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Posted by: Mixlesplick on November 14, 2004 08:01 AMHe's not a Oregon Logger because:
1. His truck only has 2 doors.
2.I don't know what kind of say that is, but it's not a Husky or a Stihl.
3. That's a regular gas can, not a "Domar" with the chain oil attached.
4. He does not have on the proper "Oregon Logger" susspenders.
5. It's a Chevy not a Ford.
6. It's not raining.
