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

Isn't that Pike?

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 heard she was looking fir a hot piece of Ash.

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.

Depends on how old it is.

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

Man I love a good, corny pun. You guys are too much!!

Posted by mr. herriman on June 1, 2009 at 5:05 PM

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.

Posted by Jaymz on June 1, 2009 at 5:11 PM

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.

Short answer = yes.
If you believe that everything is alive (.pdf).

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.

Posted by Bento on June 1, 2009 at 9:38 PM

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