(Below) Juliet Lamont, chair of S.F. Bay Area Chapter of the Sierra Club, addresses the crowd while above her Shirley Dean, Betty Olds and Sylvia McLaughlin stay in a tree on a platform.

These trees are full of nuts.

Old,

Bitter,

Nuts.

[NormsRevenge]

saw them on the news,, Full of Nuts is right..

I could use some of that oak for firewood.

[Kitten Festival]

This is beyond stupid.

Pig stupid.

[Revolting cat!]

And where is the cripple (in mnore ways than one) councilwoman and the halfwitted 90 year old black broad from the city council (sorry, don't remember the names)? The board could (perhaps) hold them all (or not, and then what, a day of national mourning?)

[Bobibutu]

We locals don't call UCB the "Open Ward" for nothing.

[Farmer Dean]

I could use a short vacation in a warmer climate.Berkeley looks good and I own a really large chainsaw.

[BigBobber]

It's time for the 70,000 Cal football fans to hold a counter-protest.

[Gay State Conservative]

Anyone know how common lightening storms are in that part of the world?

In January?

[Trajan88]

They've got way too much time on their hands.

I'll send some fire ants to Berkeley from here in the Lone Star state... unleash those bad boys/girls on this tree... that'll get those Commie tools to jump down quick ;-)

[Trajan88]

Texas A&M Aggie Former Student here to say... lets not talk about Cal football please ;-)

Nope...its usually rainy season this time of year. We have had nothing but clear blue skies and 60 degree weather for awhile now....maybe rain in a couple of weeks.

Looks like that poor girl under the tree looked up and said, "You just wouldn't believe it... her butt is this wide!"

[EagleUSA]

Welcome folks to the land of NUTS AND FRUITS. If you can name it, you can find it in SF or Berzerkely....the largest outdoor insane asylum in the world.

[CottShop]

Have fun tossing food scraps into the tree. The crows should be along.

Looks like a pretty poor Photoshop job to me.

[SpaceBar]

Looks like a pretty poor Photoshop job to me.

Looks fake to me too.

Import a few Ozarkian woodcutters with chainsaws, tree hooks, hounds, trucks, kids and all. They could take care of that situation.

[Valin]

Now where did I put my chainsaw?
