What have you done, that is a top that moment in your holiday entertainment.
For a couple years we picked our own wild cranberries at a bog in the fall. Then we made the homemade sauces and such. Everyone that didn’t know was told. Wouldn’t you have mentioned the fact?
I thought this was going to be an announcement that somebody had made a special holiday to commemorate Martha Simpson’s annoucement that she was a bottom…
What the flock are you talking about?
One year, me and my friends decided we needed some mistletoe for our Christmas party. Not only did it take us forever to find a store that sold it, the price was outrageous. I mentioned that the price probably reflected the fact that it was a hassel to harvest and not very safe.
My father used to talk about how he made a living harvesting the stuff in his younger days. So, I assumed that it was common knowledge that Mistletoe was easy to find but a pain in the ass to get to it.
My friends were intrigued, and a little bit drunk, and one of them had a chainsaw… :smack:
So we hiked up a hill alongside the interstate, where I had spotted a few bundles from the road. The designated climber couldn’t climb while holding the saw, so the designated thrower tried to throw the saw up to him. He stopped when he almost lost the saw down the side of the hill. Then they tied a rope to the saw handle and climber climbed up with the end of the rope, and hauled the saw up.
After several hours of dropping the saw, and sawing the wrong branches, we finally had a bundle. But it’s not just mistletoe in the bundles, that would be too easy. It’s dead leaves and sticks and bugs and stuff, all woven into the mistletoe vine. The guy who was driving didn’t want that stuff in his car, so we had to pick it out, by the light of 3 lighters.
We were scratched up and banged up, but we had us some mistletoe for Christmas.
Good story. Sometimes you need to let people know what makes that particullar item special.
I beleive your Uncle Armpits thread might fly for awhile from the looks.
I think I bummed everybody out with Uncle Armpits story.
Now that the weekend is finished there are just to many topics popping up.
