OT: Excorcist hits Eiffel Tower area
via newslite.tv's OddNews
A man who believes trees contain evil woodland spirits has been arrested after attacking 100 trees near the Eiffel tower. Police say the 38-year-old was spotted by gardeners at 4.30am hammering nails into the branches and painting the trunks of the trees. Once they convinced him to climb down from a large chestnut tree on the Champs de Mars, he explained his action to them. He said the nail and paint attack was the only way to rid the trees of the "demon forces" contained within.I feel like I should claim this in Columbus as I paint all the trees maize or blue.
The only thing the French are willing to fight.
yeah, trees and the British.
a small contingent of French had begun resisting the man's efforts and started hitting nails and paint cans with sticks.
man that does not even come close to my intended goal of mocking the French for siding with the Nazis. oh well.
give bail money to the policeeeeeeeee
Obviously he is a Cal-Berkely grad...
branch off into different topics.
has already taken root...
you nailed it
at what those topics could be.
Well, don't just lumber around! Think on it!
I think i'll just leave it alone.
It's a shame. This really could've blossomed into something special.
just felt it was time to nip it in the bud.
Yeah, no sense tying yourself in a knot over it. I'd better stop before I get all sappy.
what fir? if you guys are twiggin out, i'll take the elm. unless everyone's really getting sycamore tree puns.
they both signed a peace treety and agreed to cut down all hostilities
more bark than bite
Nonsense! This topic is deeply grained with possibilities.
it'll kick your ash.
this shit is bananas
if it penetrates my many rings of defense
That's what tree said..
I have a book discussing ideas like this in my car's trunk.
in your daily log?
I think this topic is going to rot our minds.
I can feel my brain turning into mulch.
I just can't keep my paws off of it though. I must be nuts.
I'm on the verge of soiling myself over it.
But to be perfectly honest, I've got wood.
Edit: (I'm sorry... I TRIED to resist! I really did.)
I think I need to put an end to this chop-chop.
and should just stick with the program.
That's the problem with conversations that splinter.
I think we can give it a glossy new veneer.
spruce it up a bit?
My warped mind gets me in trouble.
get the axe.
"Blaze: Cut down in his prime".
"Local Lorax Blaze fell"
call the copse.
But I suppose I can't say much when I'm stiff as a board.
Blaze won't get chopped. But...this sort of activity willow-er his performance expectations.
tuft oo leave alone.
I can't tell if that was a pun or a threat to kidnap me. I may have to grove-l for my life!
I’m going to leaf this one alone.
Wood you all just leaf it alone? I pine to needle you all for such sappy comments. But if I do, I'll get negged, so I'll just stand fir mon my beleafs that eventually it'll all get brushed away. Deciduous.
I saw The Happening so I think it's a good preemptive strike. If all of France commits suicide, it's on the police. Clauseau will get to the bottom of this.
At first I groaned at the puns... but the steady barrage of well-nuanced subtlety won me over. +1 to all involved.
It is witty pointlessness that makes this a top shelf blog.
One of the next stories on that same feed must be reading our thread. It was about a hen who started mothering a litter of puppies:
The pups natural mother Nettle would be forgiven for being in a fowl mood when this happened but doesn't appear to mind being hen-pecked.
