If I were a tree, what elements of my branches would determine how soulful my leaves actually were..? Would it depend upon the season? Or would it depended upon the length and depth of my roots...?

By Livonia Ken (136.2.1.101) on Friday, March 14, 2003 - 01:53 pm:

Horse,
If you were a tree and you started a thread like this one, we would treat you like dogs with full bladders.

Regards,
Ken

Horse,
It's high time you got back on stage and beat on your drums a while. I'm getting concerned. Have you been watching too many Barbara Walters interviews son?

Is somebody smoking trees???

To better define your roots and branches we're just BARKING up the wrong tree until we define just what type of tree you are.

White Oak Tree?
Black Walnut Tree?
Pussy Willow (weeping willow)
Southern Magnolia?
Tall Oak Tree?
Maple?

Example:Etta James... Weeping willow.

This is, of course, a meta thread whose existence is a commentary on itself and threads like it. For the next meta thread, I was thinking we could do a bit on "Singers Who Have Corns".

To all:

I am not sure what is funnier the thread or some of the responses to it. Definitely put a much needed smile on my face.

I may be pushin' too hard, but can I be the The Leaves?

By john dixon (64.12.97.7) on Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 07:41 pm:

If I were a tree....I would hope to be low in sap content. Plus my bark would be smokable so you wouldn't have to climb me to get high!

By douglasm (68.113.15.28) on Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 09:00 pm:

John...
....you say you've got the "Down To Seeds And Stems Again Blues", or am I just barking up the wrong tree?

By Livonia Ken (136.1.1.154) on Friday, March 21, 2003 - 09:42 am:

Doug, if you were really "Pushing Too Hard", you would be "The Seeds". If you don't believe me, say "Hey, Joe" and ask him about "The Leaves".

If that's the joke you were going for, I'm going to insist on three consecutive listens to the any version of the Lenny Kaye "Nuggets" compilation as a penance.

Regards,
Ken

By douglasm (68.113.15.28) on Friday, March 21, 2003 - 05:50 pm:

Well, leaves come from trees, which come from seeds. I accept the punishment. You'd think I wouldn't go out on limb like that.

Do you guys think this thread was generated in all seriousness or do you think it was just mocking other musically irrelevant unrelated threads on this forum.
