...seen on Pike near Boren appeared to be having a very intimate moment with a tree earlier this afternoon. Can a tree consent?

I think she should head over to Planned Horticulture and get herself checked out for Emerald Ash Borers.

Was that before or after she stole a bottle of wine from QFC?

I hope it's a maple tree, because I'd tap that.

Trees are notoriously slutty, and will do it with anyone. You don't get more indiscriminate than wind pollination.

Maybe she's an objectosexual... Or does a tree not count because technically, it is alive???

Ah, the pun soft ball... Way to get those frustrated English majors to crank out the twisty stuff, Dan.

And, @13 - Where's the reference to counting the rings? A whiff on that one, for sure.

Do you think she'll hook up with picnic table fucker? Because I'm thinking "match made in heaven".

p.s. I'm surprised nobody went for the obvious "woody" joke.

If that tree didn't want it, it wouldn't dress like that.

Dan do you know about objectophiles/objecktum-sexuality? Apparently it's big in Germany.

That tree had no clothes on in public. It was asking for it.
Posted by trees also mean "yes" when they say "no" on June 1, 2009 at 8:26 PM

Bill O'Reilly saw this coming, and you said he was a bigot. First gay marriage, then animals, then paedophilia, and finally, trees. It's a slippery slope, indeed.

that tree is a slut. I really thought I was special. I really thought i was the only one.

Trees only have appeal for men, because of the tight knotholes that are good for fucking, and lesbians, for the same reason.

Lignophilia!

The tonsure is a dead giveaway. That's Brother Maynard.

The tree recently had the bush trimmed and it looked taller, thus it attracted this attention.
