re: #305 Fat Bastard Vegetarian
When I was young, (before Al Gore fucked up the weather patterns) we had a huge ice storm, I lived in a heavy tree area and there was up to two inches of ice on the trees.
There were explosions where two foot thick tree branches would snap off and crash to the ground. Some landing close enough to frighten me. I was on my way home, it was like I was an Orc and the trees were suicidal Ents bent on my distruction.
I have bamboo planted around the perimeter of my back yard. During snow or ice storms the tops of the bamboo load up with snow and ice. they slowly start to bend and bow. Once they’re loaded enough they spring back up and catapult the remaining snow into the air. It’s quite a show.
