Today's Unintentional Comedy Gold
Oh. My. Gawd. Mourn the loss of the all old growth.
I'm sorry, that's all I got on that. I know, I really should say something cute and clever... or just say something, anything... and I would... really... I would... if I could just stop laughing long enough to do so. maybe later!
Oh... and I found it at Confederate Yankee.

I want to comment, I really do. But I have tried!! I can't stop laughing! It is impossible to comment intelligently!

I am dying here.
I have tears running down my cheeks and it isn't from mourning trees!
...This rock, which has such an incredible life
*snort

Yes Melissa, I was struck by this too, what an amazing thing that is to say, that a rock has life. I look at that woman and I would bet that she bases her politics and her votes on people who support the right to kill babies and I would even go so far as to say that she herself has probably killed one or more of her own babies and there she sits, mourning a tree. These people in this video are insane.
Linda, I hope you are feeling well and strong.

Oh come on. If they really cared about the trees, instead of sitting there crying and wailing, they'd kill themselves and then have their remains turned into mulch to spread around the forest. Feed the trees!

They care about the trees, but haven't noticed that the trees don't give a rat's ass about them.
I say gather them, strip them naked, and drop them into the middle of the Amazon forest. That'll get them back in touch with nature, and aware from technology and industry (who used high tech to make the old bat's fleece ($169.00 at the Sierra Club store, or free with the huge donation from the trust fund her dead father slaved his ass off to build so she could have a "better life", not to mention that education in the California University system)).

They're licensed to drive in all fifty states.
They can buy power tools with no questions asked.
Their vote counts just as much as yours does.
WE ARE SO SCREWED.

You know those times when you just scratch your head and say "WTF?"
Yep, one of those times.

Please, tell me that these people do not vote...please.
In fairness to the speaker, when I heard her say "this rock has incredible life," I thought it was as a host--that life was on it.
Like Fred, I noticed that they seemed well dressed, especially the named speaker. No real back-to-nature for these strange people. (I think even the druids of ancient England would have been embarrassed by them.)

"I look at this rock and I feel alive!"

Actually I think a Bear or two would've made it funnier than hell!
Wow, talk about emotional cripples!

How about dropping them off on the Atigun River or along the upper Sagavanirktok River in the last two weeks of December, too many skeeters will get sick if it's the Amazon and from the example their heads are already shrunken.
Posted by: Jack at September 7, 2008 05:07 PM
I think, I'll go cut down another tree today:-)
Posted by: RAK at September 7, 2008 05:46 PM
500,000 died in Darfur in a matter of days, Russia invades Georgia just for the fun of it, America won't leave Iraq alone and these hippies are crying at the trees.
This is why I'm republican...

Those people are as nutty as the PETA people.
They need Valium or lithium---meds.

WTF ?????
Ijets...............
Posted by: DammitWoman at September 7, 2008 07:38 PM
I laughed so hard, I think I sharted.
I am so re-posting this at my house.
Like the prophet Buffet says, "if we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane."
Clearly, these folks haven't laughed in a long, long time.

"Hi. I'm Amber and I'll be your waitress tonight."
"Howdy. I'm Kevin, and I'd like a Stoli Martini, the Spotted Owl Bisque and a side of Baby Seal Ribs."
Why isn't there an open season for hunting tree-huggers?
Great post, Linda. Been along time since I've been here, and I'm glad to be back!
SARAHCUDA!

The percussion solo was really “rockin”.
I think if I ran into this group in the woods, I’d back away really slowly. Never get between a sow and her…………other sow’s

Watching that was like driving past a car wreck... I wanted to turn away... and yet... I could not...
the HORROR THE HORROR!!
I double ditto Delta9 above.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with people expressing their grief and their humanity, and mourning the destruction of Gaia's creations.
Get a grip on life, you Neanderthals....
Posted by: Kaboom at September 9, 2008 06:18 AM
kaboom? hahahaha! That's good.
Perhaps one day, you will grow up enough to realize that your entire momement, what you have dedicated your life to, is nothing but a petty nuisance to the rest of the thinking world.
We look at you, with your pathetic posturing on behalf of trees and rocks and weeds, and we laugh. You people are ridiculous.
Your entire belief system is completely demented and out of touch with reality. As Delta said, 500,000 died in Darfur in a matter of days while you're crying over a dead tree and you're telling me to get a grip on life?
I'll tell you this, if those trees could talk, they'd likely tell you to shut the hell up and if they could move, they'd likely snatch your ass up and drop kick you a couple of miles. All that screaming and weeping and wailing, probably annoys the heck out of them. Why can't you just leave the poor trees in peace?
Thanks for the laugh.

I just got a quote for $50K for thinning out about 100 acres. I'm doing it! God I love trees, and I'll plant more, so I can cut them down again in 15 years!

@Kaboom:
Nothing wrong. Stupid, pointless, developmentally arrested, neo-pagan, pseudo-religious, briefly hilarious, ultimately tedious, wastefully overwrought, tragically self-deluded, but not wrong!
BTW, any typical Neanderthal had a better grip on the world and its ways than any of these brain-wasted, wrinkled, thoroughly over-the-hill, way too old adolescents loose and unsupervised in the public forest (but only minutes from the highway) eco-hobbyists. The Neanderthallers flourished for 200 thousand years. Your average Greenish Ludite would last three days in a real wilderness without the technological advantages they stupidly deplore.

Kaboom enjoys being transgressive.
