Mohonk-a-donk

Here's a frickin' shot I took on a stroll through the woods near the Mohonk Mountain House:



Whatever you ask this tree, it seems to reply: "Y." So go ahead and ask it if you're a big stud, or if you're prettier than your sister. You'll probably like the answer. It's like a Magic 8 Ball, except its outlook is never hazy.

  1. It's like a Magic 8 ball, only when you shake a Magic 8 ball you don't get plonked on the head by a loose branch.

  2. Ok, another one I just thought of...if you can have a U tree, why not a Y tree?

    I'd better quit while I'm behind...

  4. Funny yew should say that, Mike, because after a bit of surfing, I've discovered that it IS actually some crazy Irish thing!

    My apologies, I thought it was more widespread.

    Here's a link to explain the Yew tree...

  6. Stupid frickin' dead tree got in the way of an otherwise great sunset photo! I hate when trees jump into photos like that!

  7. I have nothing really more to say about this, I just never had as many as four comments on a post that either wasnt my own or wasnt one written by a hardline Republican before.

    So here it is.

  8. Dude, four JL comments? That's like hitting the trifecta, and getting the fourth-place horse right, too. But you don't get any extra money for knowing about the fourth-place horse, unless there's such a thing as a quadfecta.

  9. Jered -- I was thinking the same thing about your profile pic. It would've been great if that weird-lookin' orange guy didn't jump in the way.
