For every post of yours, I'm going to go out and snap another sapling and then dig it out of the ground and watch it die on top of my nicely mowed and well fertilized (with chemicals no less) lawn.

I use approximately three industrial sized bottles of RoundUp every summer.

The screaming of the dying trees and other annoying weeds adds to the atmosphere.

No thank you... I'm not a sheep programmed by the multinational govt. overthrowing, pricegouging, people and animal killing pharmaceutical industries..

Someday, I will create a sprawling network of factories.

They will produce no useful products, but will emit vast quantities of pollution. The scarred smokestacks will belch noxious gasses into a pristine sky, my drainage pipes will pour noxious sludge into beautiful, virgin rivers, and I will ship tons of radioactive waste in dilapidated trucks shipping leaky containers. There will be banks of animals tied down and tested, painfully, for no apparent reason.

What a wonderful business model! I will name it Lazamataz Industries. It's motto is, "We'll f*** up the world first."

Just because of our fruity friend, I am going to take a bastard file and purposely ruin the cutting edge on my lawn mower blade, so that next time, rather than being smoothly cut, the blades of grass will be beaten into submission.

Men are able to conjure up some reason, ANY reason, not to perform some sort of household chore.

Excellent point. Now we can quote scripture, “mow not lest ye be mown.”

I thought it was 52 reasons to stop MEOWING.

I was looking for the cat pictures. Then, based on the format, I thought it might be cat ASCII bats.

You signed up yesterday to post this mess?

since i am in a woman's body in this life, your attack is not ad hominem but ad feminem.

Uh oh.

An ad feminazi.

BTW: You may be in a woman's body, but you are out of your woman's mind.

I hope you'll be kind enough to have Monday, Wednesday and Friday employee outdoor grill sessions.

These treehugger threads always make me hungry for dead animal meats. I'm gonna fire up the pressure cooker right now and throw some frozen chicken in it with rice for breakfast.

I think I'm going to buy a DR Trimmer Mower and make paths through the woods around our house...just for the hell of it.

Then, I'll shoot the squirrels and rabbits that appear on the path...not to kill them...just to injure.

If one specifies either the width or the height, but not both, the image will scale up proportionally. But specifying width AND height means those two numbers must be in the precise proportion, or the picture will end up stretched.

You are correct, it will scale proportionally, but it's my understanding (I may be wrong) the image will load faster if both are included. Mich, do I understand this correctly?

When I need to scale down an image I usually take it to a graphics program and resize it or change the height AND width by 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc... as needed.

Fruitarian: I have a dilemma. There are grubs that have infected a portion of my lawn. They are killing the grass. But crows have started pulling up the dead grass and eating the grubs.

Question: Do I protect the lawn by putting down chemicals to kill the grubs? What about the crows food supply?
Should I let the grubs multiply, destroy part of my lawn, but provide nourishment to the crows?

Or (my preferred solution), do I take a multifacted approach: drop the chemicals, kill the grubs, and shoot the frickin' crows with a 22?

I'm not sure what you mean. The image will load at exactly the same speed, but might take (slightly) longer to display, because of the need to recalculate and resize, though using one dimension or two should have no effect on this.

You're equating Olmert and the Israeli government with the Nazi SS?
