I bet 50 cents TS Claudette can get "Trust" out of the tree.

I have been inspired by the nickname "Trust". From now on, I request that Freepers refer to me as "Six-Pack".

Sure...protect California Redwoods by sitting in Houston pine trees....I get it....meanwhile logging crews are sharpening their blades...BACK IN CALI!!!

Reminds me of the human shields that didn't want to sit in front of military targets because they were too dangerous...

I figured that the mosquitos would have driven them away by now, but maybe they don't fly that high up in the trees. What a shame. Anyway, these losers don't seem too bright, do they? I mean, staying 85 feet up a pine tree during a thunderstorm just doesn't seem too swift.

They should blow these nuts out of the trees with a fire hose. And garnish their future wages for years.

I "Trust" that lightning will do the job.

Especially considering the number of zots lately...

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

I vote to leave them there!!

Anybody who has been in Houston in summertime - with the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes - you can't punish those idiots that much. It would be considered cruel and inhumane punishment!

especially the fool with no shirt on.

BUT---make sure that these "bug lovers" don't use any DEET!

I think it'd be funny to sit around and plink at 'em with a BB gun. "Owww! That stings!" LOL

I wonder how much it would cost to ship in a few million chiggers?

"I vote to leave them there!! "

Hey I'm with you. At least being in Houston keeps them out of the way of the loggers trying to make a living.

Kind of like the California riots.. I'm mad at you so I burn MY house down?? go figure..

Better careful with that, you could put somebody's eye out.

Imagine the tree instead of the plane

[Only1choice____Freedom]

You mean there are trees left in Houston?

[bedolido]

They should cut all the branches off each tree so they can't climb down.

these people are terrorists. When I lived in Oregon in the 80's they used to drive spikes deep into the trees and when the loggers would start cutting thru with their chainsaws the saws would hit the spike, causing the saw to kick back (sometimes out of their hands) and wrench the loggers shoulders.

Pure evil in the name of a stupid replaceable crop.

[bedolido]

Ping... don't know if this applies

[wysiwyg]

You're kidding, right?

[CCCV]

"You mean there are trees left in Houston? "

LOL!
You have a point! Has anyone checked to see if the branches actually bend? Could be painted concrete!

Two years ago I lived about a 1/4 mile from Memorial Park, and all I can say is that they better keep praying for rain. When the sun comes out and it is 95 degrees with 80% humidity they are screwed. Not to mention that Buffalo Bayou runs right through the park, the mosquiteo's will literally drain them of all their blood.

Go back to California you hippie's, your not welcome here.

GOT CHAINSAW!!!!
