Giving up on stick and string
« on: October 14, 2008, 02:04:00 PM »
Taking up the hammer and hatchet.    :D         Much more traditional I think!!
 
I was out doing a little last minute work on one of my stands when my neighbor rolled up and snapped this pic.  I think catching that hammer on the noggin from that high up might be fatal...at least stunning.  :readit:  

Might be my new avatar!

add a bungy cord and you can drop down and hit them, then bounce back up in the tree.

See, what you do is, tie the bugee up half-way up the tree then tie the under end to the hammer.  Now you have to get pretty high up the tree and when that cord's so tight that it sounds like a rock solo on lead guitar, you let the hammer go.  That should take care of at least 10 or 12 as they walk by.

Sorry Doc Nock, But if I was stupid enuff to try I think someone else is too.   :knothead:

Don't tie it around your neck, just around your legs. After 3 or 400 tries you'll start to land on your feet again. Well after you brake every bone in your back first.

Ken-  If I told you, I'd have to kill... myself
Killie, If you can figure out a way, I'm there.
Wannabe, if it was the hatchet, and I was real un-lucky, then I'd go by four-toed willy. Or I could just catch four toads and make it four toad willy.  

Sorry, it's a mixture of boredom at work and need for sleep.  A terrible concoction on any day.

If you went with Four Toed Willy, then I'd know you were really off balance!   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

Ken, we wouldn't be lost in Yonkers or anything like that would we?! As long as someone knows which way we're going I might take you up on that someday.
