First Dorothy! Now Me!

In Science, entertainment on July 4, 2008 at 3:05 pm

This socially maladjusted tree, which grows right next to my parking space in our apartment complex, hates me. It purposefully drops all kinds of Tree Detritus on me, attempts to trip me with its outsized roots, and brazenly encourages the flying monkey-type birds who do its evil bidding to rain offenses upon my poor little Ford Focus.

I don’t know what to do. I mean, just look at this angry arboreal! Is there any doubt that it belongs to that same family of trees who once so appallingly harassed a certain young lady from Kansas who wanted nothing more than to get back home?

What is with this Twilight Zone apartment complex my wife and I have moved into??

(Think I’m kidding about our apartments? Think all that’s really happened is that I bought a new camera last week and am clearly too lazy to venture more than forty feet outside my apartment to get any decent, normal photos I could use for my blog? Really? How interesting. Well then see, if you dare, my recent, utterly traumatizing posts, John Wayne’s Ex-Wife’s Smiling Gelantinous Fish Log, and/or Cat Exploited For Viewing Pleasure In Apartment Zoo! But remember: you’ve been warned.)

  1. My guess is that its bark is worse than its bite.

  2. Looks like one of the trees in Lord of the Rings! LOL

  3. Brian: Awesome joke. It was all I could do not to steal it, deleter your comment, and then work it back into the text of the post. But that would have been wrong. Once I might have done that, but since then I’ve turned over a new leaf.

    Elizabeth: Insanely, I’ve never seen any of the LoR movies. But I’m believing you.

  4. John:

    Because I hold you in tree-mendous respect, I might never beleaf you wood hide my joke in a trunk and log it away like that..

  5. Oh dear…umm…cool new pic! Very tilty.

  6. Brian: Stop it. Just stop it right now.

    Skerrib: I’ve been wanting to change, but didn’t HAVE any other pictures of me. Then, at the Fourth of July party I went to, a friend, trying to teach me how to use my camera, took THIS picture of me, and I figured, “good enough.” And … that’s that fascinating story.

  7. I like the new pic! (Guess we don’t have definitive proof that you know how to shave? Just saying.)
