    Well, they have dramatic music anyways.

    As I told the friend who sent me the link...I can't articulate the reasons most of what he did wrong was wrong, a few I can, but I've seen enough videos of climbing arborists and I've cut down enough trees on the ground to know this is NOT how it should be done.

    And they put them on YouTube!

    (I don't know why the embed is working so here's the links

    Little bit rough with the approach and technique (and I would not be caught dead up that ladder blowing a top), but to each his own. Looked like everything came down how he wanted-that is the true measuring stick.

    What I find disturbing is that I feel a strange sexual attraction to the short skinny guy in the middle. I feel kinda dirty but the urge is real. Any of you guys feel the same way or is this something I should bring up in my next therapy session?


    Yeah, I guess I am pretty sick joker but when I saw the girl my heart did go out for her. I hope those idiots don't hurt or kill her. Its one thing for the guys to go along with that bull#### and that makes me mad enough BUT seeing Joan and knowing the deal YES my heart dropped like a stone and a black spot has been cast upon it I #### you not. My God, that poor woman, I am truly sorry, beyond anger, more than disturbed.

    I only just saw Joan, that was enough. For clarification: Ladies like Bermie aren't in the same class. They know what from what, handle it well and aren't victims. They have the abililty to make choices based on what they know to be true, on what they want, not to be drug through the muck by the whim of a idiot. I don't really " worry" about those types and am happy to see them.

    No, the true measuring stick is made from the respect one has for doing what he does and the proper actions needed for showing that respect. For me, when i hear people say what you just said, well, that's one of those phrases I look out for. It tells me the person who said doesn't possess or just disregards that respect , is most likely counting his lucky stars in ignorance and relies on idiotic catch phrases in hopes of passifing his own ignorance and hopefully the ignorance of others.

    Wow, I didn't realize I was doing it but I think i just defined the term HACK... and started on politician.
