Shaking the fruits and nuts out of the trees.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Doctor Raoul]

Don't take the brown acid man....

[Cicero]

Some “out of body experience.” Who pays the hospital bills?

[gridlock]

As fallen tree sitter Nathaniel Hall was recovering from a broken arm and a broken leg he sustained in a three-story fall from an oak earlier this week...

He regrets that he has but one more leg to give for his country!

But, seriesly, what a maroon.

And if the University has not cut that transverse line yet, they deserve whatever they get.

[Slapshot68]

Three words for this guy...

Get a job.

[relictele]

Explicative?

I think Kristin meant to substitute “expletive” but like so many news gerbils in the MSM she works under the “more letters sounds more intelligent” theory even if it’s the wrong word altogether.

[trimom]

He hopped and flew. Lovely. How’s come he didn’t land on that empty head of his?

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Gravity - it’s the law.

Hill, 24, said it was the excitement about seeing his father, Carl Hill

Dad must be SOOOOOOOO proud.

Yeah, but they get away with it because it still works on more than half of those who actually still read newspapers and watch the nightly news.

I'd pay cash money to see a video of this ... I wonder if he bounced

[Don Carlos]

Does the university have the necessary building permits, etc? If so, where in hell are the guys with the chain saws? I bet the sound of a Husqvarna sputtering to life would end the protest post haste!

“Gravity - it’s the law.”
Typical linear western way of thinking. Gaia is not pleased with your planetary stereotypes. Watch as I float out of this tree.

[N. Theknow]

Neath the spreading oaken tree the village idiot lay.
From lofty heights in the stupid tree, he doth flail away

Til with a dull thud he lands and abrupt his fall does end
With only broken limbs and teeth to mend

Alas, No Darwin Prize this day.

[RDTF]

weenie! Nothin to it!

[philled]

an injunction that carries a $1,000 fine, five days in jail or both if he goes back to the grove,

Looks like this should serve as motivation for the fruit to fall far from the tree...

[Doogle]

..."perhaps with a certain amount of luck and a great blessing of good fortune...Does anyone have a clip of the cretin testing the law of gravity?..hmmmm?
