treebeard injured.

“Treebeard got 2nd degree burns on his hand while cooking last night. He went to the hospital last night and came home feeling no pain. He is ok just sore.

Sons hamster died
Didn't get the house we wanted.
saw two of the worst movies ever made.


so how was everyone's weekend?”

“next time maybe he won't try to cook a dead hamster! nasty!
;-)

but for real, i'm glad his hands are okay. sorry your weekend sucked!”

“That $suck$! Hope you all get some time off to hike.”

“Pretty good.

Went on a short but good hike.

No major catastrophes this weekend.

Saw two movies too, my wife rented "Chicago" and "Bulletproof Monk". "Bulletproof Monk" was okay, but "Chicago" was great. If you're into musicals (or Renee Zellweger), rent it.”

“Oh, and sorry that treebeard burned himself. He did burn himself, right?”

“ummmmmmm damn hamster.”

“It's his past cooking sins catching up to him.

Report to the injured reserve list tree!

Oh yeah, hope you're okay. How much did you bribe the docs for painkillers?”

“oh boy, glad he's okay. Sorry about the hamster. Reading your post I really thought "hm, maybe a hamster is too small for the grill"....

don't worry about the house, prolly a reason why you didn't get it. Just wait, next month or so you'll see the house you really want!

my weekend wasn't the best either :) Almost drove up to NY to surprise someone, but then I had to take care of my kids hair needs.”

“Yeah, I burned myself. Handle of one frying pan too close to heat and I didn't notice it. So, when i grabbed it, it was totally unexpected. I did get a pain shot last night. Nice midnight cocktail. Made for a mellow walk home!”

“Ouch sorry to hear about your hands Treebread! You know between the two of you, those Emergency room people must know you by name.

Maple what did you do to the hamster? No don't tell I don't think I want to know.

Treebeard ever hear of pot holders?”

“Glad to hear you're okay. Aside from 'Night of the Lepus' and 'Night of the Killer Tomatoes' what are your two worst movies?

BTW, never take medication without alcohol.”

“Hope your feeling better treebeard. If treebeard gets burned is that like a forest fire or something? My weekend included cleaning up after Isabel and getting a new windshield and brakes on my car.”

“Treebeard ever hear of pot holders?"

He must have left his Derek Jeter potholder on top of the TV.”

“did the storm destroy your car TOO, must hike?”

Yeah, OK !

Too bad about the hamster.

I read a story in the paper about the discovery of the remains of an extinct aquatic mammal being found in Venezuela.
They say this thing was like a hamster the size of a buffalo(3/4 ton) and roamed the swamps about 5 million years ago.”

“Get better soon, treebeard.”

“No lyra not from the storm. My car failed inspection. A rock on the highway did in my windshield.”

“They say this thing was like a hamster the size of a buffalo(3/4 ton)




oh man, here we go with the dirty jokes...”

“yeah, it didn't destroy mine either, but hopefully the insurance people will believe it did. j/k!”

“oh GROSS, Maple, LOL!!”

“did the storm destroy your car TOO, lyra?”

“The guy who discovered that fossil said in NPR it was like a rat.”

“A hamster that size would require one hell of a BIG running wheel!”

“Treebeard got burned by a giant rat while smashing must hike's windshield.

Does that cover it?”

“Treebeard, I gotta hand it to ya, man.”

“Dead hamster, dead turkeys, the trees always end up in the ER whenever there are dead critters around!”

“Get Well Soon, TB.”

“Maple what did you do to the hamster? No don't tell I don't think I want to know.

we are going up state Tuesday night, so we will stop and bury the little thing.

better then the last hamster that died. damn thing was swinging in the tree for months.”

“I sense another epic story about to begin.

How did the dead hamster end up swinging in the tree, maple"”

“"better then the last hamster that died. damn thing was swinging in the tree for months."
mapleleaf

Please explain...”

“Thanx for the sentiments, folks. Maple, I think you are going to have to explain the "Rock-a-bye Hamser" story one more time...”

“Not that quick treebeard. Answer my question. How much did you bribe the docs for the painkillers?”

“You can't swing a dead hamster around here without starting a new story.”

“funny you should ask geobeet.

ok, last year (i think) my daughters hamster died. i am not the type of person that can just THROW an animal out so i put it in a container and then put it in a bag then put it out on the fire ecscape. i was going to bury it after the winter freeze was over.

A couple of days later, there was a very bad storm with high winds. well i came home that night a went to look for the hamster, he was no longer on the fire ecscape,
now remeber that i live in a 4 story building on the 4th floor.

so there hanging in the huge tree next to our building was the haster in the bag. the bag got caught on the tree and stayed there for a couple of months. i didnt know if I should laugh or cry.

so i did both. i cried from laughing so hard.

twignut didnt think it was funny. i did feel bad for the little thing. we never knew where it ended up.”

“must hike, good one!

“That sucks Maple!!!!

“Geo, she told me the first one was free and to tell all my friends!”

“That's high-sterical !!!

That's a great bit for a sit-com!”

“JEEEEZ, Maple! That's funny yet sick!”

“"Geo, she told me the first one was free and to tell all my friends!"

Huh?
Is there a hooker in this story?”

“I'm swiii-nnging in the rain,
Just swing-ing in the rain...”

“what??
the hamster was a hooker?”

“Keep this one in the freezer until you can bury it.”

“One never knows with the trees.”

“Didja bury it when it finally fell out of the tree, or wasn't there enough left?”

“female doc, TT. Don't they have any of those in Maryland or did Agnew nix that 20 years ago?”

“TB thats not funny,
thats sick :D”

“Who, me or your husband?”

“treebait, we never found it. it was in the tree for a couple of months then just POOF it was gone.”
