After being made fun of because of my teal hard hat and Remington orange chain saw, I couldn’t stop. The deforestation of our back forty continues.
Today, I am attacking this hedge…
SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read any further because what comes next is what happens in Saw V to be premiered at the Remington Theater. (Map below)
I waited until the Unknown Flowering Hedge That Ate Our Back Yard (UFHTAOBY) was at the peak of it’s beauty before I cut the life out of it. Hacked down to the stumps then forced in to the Worlds Largest Chipper Shredder. (WLCS)
BTW, I can do a great imitation of a gas powered chain saw. Which I often do. Perhaps I will make an audio file and upload it later.
Special appearance planned if I am authorized to leave the county by my probation officer.
UPDATE: I need to pay attention more. Apparently Nancy has gone green.
This isn’t near as funny as the stuff at Humor Blogs.
Hey, I never made fun of your teal hard hat and orange chain saw. However, I might observe that you probably won’t have to go after that hedge with your chainsaw ever again, because “pruning” something when it’s in full flower will generally kill it.
Gardening is one of my few pleasures. If you did that to my hedge, you’d be fired for life.

@me again: no, unlike another commenter, you have tact. The hedge
WILL be dead. Deforestation is not “pruning.” I am contemplating sterilizing the front forty. That decision will be made later.
I am incredibly jealous that you have anything that can be called a back forty. We have no front yard and a paved backyard the size of a postage stamp. Southern California land is too expensive for them to go handing it out, so unless you are seriously freaking rich, your house consumes 90% of your land.
Your property looks great, hedge or no. I’d live there, but I’d probably ask y’all to move out first. Hee.

@Gretchen: make an offer. Will trade.
PS: pet peeve, people that write y’all. This is only spoken, otherwise you are trying to hard.
Well, I have a zillion pet peeves so I will have to give you that one. My secret online mommy group, the Smartass Intellectual Sisterhood, all use “y’all” in writing because, dammit, the English language doesn’t have a plural “you”. One is left with either “y’all” or “youse” and even I am not Jersey enough to say “youse”.
I’ve noticed I’ve even curtailed my use of the “F” word when commenting on your site. A lady always remembers her manners.

@Gretchen: “you” doesn’t need a plural! One person. I agree in person, you all works, and y’all is natural condensation because we are all lazy. You’uns is OK. I have actually heard “all y’all” here in KY.
Oh, I hope you aren’t self-censoring, that would be no fun!
Really? Well, then, fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Ahahahahahaha. ROTFLMAO
We’ve stumbled across the exception, when “y’all” used as singular. If you say y’all to one person, then you must say “all y’all” when addressing more than one person.
Ain’t English great?

Holy Crap that’s a bunch o’ code! Dunno. Works ok on Firefox and Safari, but I guess my big letters maybe blew up IE?
Anyone, anyone?
@me again: still having problems? Did you pay your Bill Gates tariff for the millenium?
