Good friend of my family was over during Christmas, and we are pretty informal after the presents are opened, and the meal has been consumed, usually me and my cousins ride gokarts, or play Video Games, do something fun..ya know?

Well I was trying to pull one of my Gokarts out of my storage shed, which is where I store all my saws as well. The family freind walks out there to tell me bye, and she looks into the shed and sees 3 rows that go the length of the shed of chainsaws..she turns pale and gives me the filthiest look anyone has ever given me in my life. Even filthier than that one time the neighbor caught me trying to take a peak down her shirt...but anyways..

She is a tree Hugger. She is one of those stupid people that tie themselves to trees. She drives a Geo Metro covered in Green-peace, and recycle stickers.

She starts yelling at me about how Im a murderer...Me and my cousin just looked at each other and chuckled..but she was very serious. She said I had a shed full of tree killers, more than she had seen in any one place at the same time. She said that she needed to leave before she got angry and called up her friends...I asked her if she wanted to run my Echo and help shorten some firewood. I picked it up and held it up to her. She turned around and went inside...3 minutes later my family comes out and they are all pi$$y at me wanting to know what Id said to make her so angry..she said she is never coming out ever again, she is through with "us".

Oh well, no great loss. If she only knew how few trees my stash had actually killed...she wouldnt have been near as mad...:laugh:

It is sad that people exist that will never know the FUN of running a chainsaw...It's even sadder that people exist that love trees enough that they want to waste an arbosrist/tree surgeons time.

Eventually the tree will fall...Even if the Police have to get involved, so why fight it?

A couple of xmas's ago a trapper friend of mine got sucked into hosting his families xmas dinner , so when he took his dog out for a quick run and the PETA branch of the family went out for a smoke he got the shock of his life when :Eye: :Eye: he saw something furry hanging from a raccoon box behind his garage , a quick throw of tennis ball to the other side of the house and they all followed the dog .

Back into the house made of wood, wiped her arse with toilet paper, ate food that came out of cardboard boxes, probably warmed herself by the wood fireplace and unwrapped Christmas presents covered wrapping paper.
My brother is a vegetarian, but he's never pushy about his views, since he's bright enough to realize it a personal choice, and he's not going to change anyones beliefs.

Cinderblock house, flat roof, buried deep on a lot covered with Pines and oaks...She opposes just about everything that is commonly accepted...like vacuuming and sweeping.

obw, story isnt made up in the least, this woman is Greener than the #88 Ball cap Im wearing right now. She would **** a tree if she had the equipment to do so.

I never realized she took it so personally, but damn she has it real bad.

Friends of mine took contract for logging beatle kill in and around Wrangell St. Elias in Alaska. Before they could even get started the "greens" were on the attack. Back and forth it went in the courts for almost a year, until mother nature ended the whole debacle with one quick and massive fire. So once again, the greens sacrificed the whole for a few. I guess they didn't know sitting beatle kill goes up like a roman-candle. They don't consider thinning might actually be a good thing.
