Good grief: Treebeard got arrested

“I need to see pictures”

“It would vertainly top any/all of my hoaxes!”

“Exactly, skiracer - the story doesn't add up.

Geo - yeah, you don't go around beating people up - you go to the police and tell them that some ahole is shooting staples. LOL

MarkO - You're welcome. I can't stand that kind of self-rightous attention-getting behavior.”

“I find it completely believable that Tree did nothing more than issue harsh words.

Its a protest, passions were already high.

You'd think that it would take a lot to provoke a person to fight but that is not the case. More than once I've seen a simple "What the hell do think you are doing, stop it." is more than enough for some folks and immediately fists are flying.”

“I'm not buying this story til Mapes emails me and says it's true.”

“It sounds like there were quite a few adventures taking place this weekend!”

“BB - if they top the hoax master then I will be duly impressed.

Consider that if this were real that mapes would already have 4 threads on the topic and 214 posts on it.”

“I'm waiting for snopes.com to post this hoax on its site! LOL!”

“OTOH - maybe we'll get a Glen Cambpell quality mugshot out of the deal.”

“I'd like to think that Treebeard would be able to avoid such a confrontation.”

“Damn dayhiker, now that's funny!”

“dayhiker's right...unless she's been scrambling for bail $.”

“I still don't buy it. If Miss Pottymouth was there, she'd be in jail too.”

“SS - which one, the 4 threads or the Glen Campbell reference?

Maybe we could start a treebeard legal defense fund. For $10 you get a 5x7 of the mugshot. For $20 you get a handsome coffee mug.”

“Freebeard!”

“that's true Pathman...out of the two, i'd say Maple would be the one more likely to be arrested, by far, LOL.”

“Jeez, some of you people. Maple is frantic with worry. Posting on TT is the last thing she wants to do right now. In fact, I hope she says off the computer completely. I'd hate for here to see some of the responses here.

As for the $$$ figure, Bobo and I will see what happens. If we need help, we'll ask. Thanks for the offer.”

“awwww, ok, i believe you. poor Treebeard!”

“$30 bail bond? In Howenwald, TN I've heard it's $337.50 to make bond.

Free the tree.”

“Freebeard, now that's good.

Geo - I think you can at least understand our skepticism.”

“The mugshot comment, dayhiker.

Mapes knows I think they are good people. If this is real, I'll help. I'm just not convinced it's real.”

“really? i heard it was $327.63

i could be wrong though.”

“lol sacco!! i may be wrong, if embear comes on this thread she can verify. ; )”

“Does yam have any personal experience with bail bonds? Inquiring minds want to know.”

“Mutt, why do you waste your precious time here when you could just bugger off?”

“SS - I agree. This sort of smells like when BB announced that he and Tara were an item and several Michiganers came out to verify. OTOH, I'll feel for them big time if this is real. That's why I'm limiting my comments to the playful end of things.”

“Geez I hope Treebeard is okay.

I think the real story here is why yam and embear have personal experience with the amount of bail needed in Hohenwald, TN, though...”

“Ummm...Geo this is TT. Remember?

That place where almost everything is suspect and someone will post that they got a new puppy and immediately the thread will degenerate to a flame war about dogs on the trail and environmental policy. Well, that is until the discussion turns to beer and hooters.”

“ok. classic bob barker rules ?

closest without going over wins?”

“LMAO!”

“I'm thinking of getting a new puppy. Then I'm going to go to Hooter's.

How's that?”

“Cool, and I come to ski?”

“Cue Micah.”

“Did anyone notice that those brazilian volleyball girls have nice hooters? I noticed that over a beer last week.”

“There were some excellent happy-gaps, too Buddha.”

“I never noticed anything but their buns, of course, that's all I've seen pics of.”

“Nothing on DRUDGE about this FreeBeard movement....”

“what this thread really needs is BVB pic.”

“How far will a stappler shoot a staple?

Clue: "The guy came down off the pole"

1. Either the posters were large or no one would see them up high.
2. How did he climb up and down the pole? __during a parade!
3. There has been a trend to replace utility poles with stapple-proof metal or concrete poles. Is NY excluded from this trend.

and: " tree wrestled the guy to the ground, and at that point New York's finest showed up."
They were both on the ground and NY's finest let the mad, Manhattan stappler get away. I don't think so.”

“I surpirsed that anyone from Minnysoda knows what a Hoenwald TN is!

Free the Tree”

“4.Someone carrying a staple gun in the City right now.
5.The witness wasn't in on the story.
6.Calling someone from out of town for help.
7.Needing a lawyer, dosen't he work in a law office? If not, the lawyers are lined up to help.”

“rut roe rorge!

NS is on the case!

hey man,i think twinks gave up this whole spot with her first post.”

“Wounded Knee, sure thing. In fact, everyone's invited to Hooters. Too bad the nearest Hooters is about 80 miles away from me.”

“besides, this thread is now about

why did yam and embear get arrested ?

and Brazilian Volleyball Babes”

“If this story isn't true, what a bummer to those who dreamed up the hoax to get TT rolling in the morning!! If its not true, what a shame more of us aren't buying into it! If I were Geo and Mapes and Tree, I'd be pi$$ed at all of us for not playing along!

If it is true, FREEBEARD!!”

“now you all know why I have such disdain for Mutt...he's just a toad.

anywhoo...I don't believe that tree is in jail...if that were the case, then ML would have been in on this thread. If he did indeed get himself arrest...way to go...I was arrested during Three Mile Island protesting back in the "No Nukes" demonstrations...Judge threw all charges and us out of the courtroom...good luck (if its applicable).”

“And what I meant to finish that with was that we've been duped before, so we're not going to be quick to believe a story like this. I took the Buddha Bear/Tarabull story hook, line, and sinker!!”

“Question: Have we TTer's become so accustomed to TT Hoaxes that we now think about hoaxes or trolls before we buy into the actual story?

Answer: Yer d@mn right!”

“i just can't wait to hear the trip report.

wonder if they let him tak pics?”

“skiracer, Are you going to the Mooseland Grill on the 11th? It's not Hooters but they've got good food.”
