That's what we need: a pun thread to really spruce up the place.

[–]ejisfun 11 points12 points ago

Yes, pun threads do seem to be quite poplar here.

[–]withA_Y 16 points17 points ago

You're horrible for posting this right before winter. Is it spring yet? :-(

[–]studmuffffffin 3 points4 points ago

It's 93 degrees in central california right now. I wish it was colder.

[–]laffey_taffey 3 points4 points ago

so you guys would be jealous if I said I went to the pool over the weekend here in Louisiana and was perfectly comfortable in November?

[–]Strusseldorf 0 points1 point ago

If I was a polar bear I would be perfectly comfortable in the frozen pools up here in Nebraska,

So yes, jealous.

[–]TigerWylde 0 points1 point ago

Nebraska? Bitch please - try Anchorage.

[–]paisleyswift 0 points1 point ago

Anchorage? Pfft Come to Kotzebue.

[–]TigerWylde 0 points1 point ago

Ok.

[–]BranchedOut 0 points1 point ago

As someone who moved to Washington DC from Louisiana in June, yes. Ohgod it was so hot here. I experience Louisiana 1200 miles north. It was some serious bullcrap. And now it's cold. Again, bullcrap.

But, I should be moving back to Louisiana on Saturday. DC just ain't for me.

[–]susanlowey 3 points4 points ago

agreed!!! I'm in Canada and we have snow everywhere already....

[–]MacBeef 0 points1 point ago

It must suck to be the rest of Canada, because there's no snow on the west coast yet!

[–]NAKED_SPACEMAN 0 points1 point ago

Nor on the east coast.

[–]matters_i_ate 1 point2 points ago

None in Toronto or Ottawa..

[–]Jtaltstatt 8 points9 points ago

Not funny. At all.

I'm a PhD student in plant biology, this made my day!

Well hopefully this makes it better.

A birch tree and a beech tree are standing in a forest. They've been good friends for a while, but prone to disagreements as good friends are wont to do.

One day they notice a seedling has sprouted between them. Being of old age and poor eyesight, the birch tree says to the beech, "My friend, that is one fine son of a birch, right there. I can't wait until he gets bigger."

"You're wrong, old pal", replies the other tree. "That is a son of a beech."

The years go by. The friends keep arguing.

"It's a son of birch! I should know my own offspring!"

"You're blind! That is clearly a son of a beech!"

This continues for quite some time. Eventually the seedling has grown into a sturdy pole-sized timber. One day Mr. Woodpecker happens to be flying through the forest.

"Hey, Mr. Woodpecker," the beech cries, "settle an argument between two friends. My friend here says that tree is a son of a birch. I say he's wrong. That's clearly a son of a beech. Maybe you could take a little taste and tell us who's right."

The woodpecker obliges and knocks on the first tree.

"Well, that sure ain't no son of a birch."

He knocks again.

"And it sure ain't no son of a beech."

He knocks a third time.

"But goddamn, that's the sweetest piece of ash I've ever stuck my pecker into!"

[–]brahmss 4 points5 points ago

It just occurred to me.

Ever... Green.

[–]JGL011 0 points1 point ago

[–]Raeki 0 points1 point ago

Hey man from what I hear that pays really well.

I could find out for sure with a quick google search...

[–]JGL011 0 points1 point ago

[–]unemployedskier 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone else think some pines trees (this one included) look like they're flipping everyone the bird?

[–]Felicitatious 0 points1 point ago

I feel like I would appreciate this a lot more in 4 months. Now it's just a reminder of the greenery we've lost.

[–]kdawgg96 1 point2 points ago

THAT WAS AN ASPEN

[–]Drassielle 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else see something like this on r/minecraft?

[–]marswithrings 0 points1 point ago

yup, here, but it appears to have been posted 10 hours ago, as opposed to OP's post here that was 14 hours ago (as of this comment, obviously).

[–]Dinosaur_Draws 0 points1 point ago

This happened to a friend of mine. He washed with Irish Spring soap, then we went into the Jacuzzi. He turned green too.

[–]tiffasaur 0 points1 point ago

We're stealing posts from Memebase now?

[–]imanimphtree 0 points1 point ago

As a horticulture major I approve.
