They'll use fire, guns and alcohol to get it down?
My age is fairly obvious by now.
No..No..No...What's called for here is a complexed system of support struts,come alongs,winches and cable.coupled with the strategic removal of binding branches and the aplication of an inverted loading ramp...to allow the truck to simply roll from the top of the tree.
If that fails....get the Fire,Guns,Alcohol and strippers...( you kids always forget about the strippers...grumble)..
The youngsters are so hip, like they are the only ones who have ever been young and chilled out smakin' tabs with backy of wackiness, while some are like so totally conservative, and anyone over 40 is like trying to screw them.
Thing is when you get to 40 you will discover that everybody is still trying to screw you and will do til the day you get popped in a box and roasted in the gas oven eternal.

Geez, you sound like you're from the 60+ "crazy, old-man" generation.
(actually never mind it makes sense now you're not a crazy old-man, mis-read )

At 16/17, I was so excited that I was going to be able to buy beer and stuff soon.
So now i'm 18, what happens? I despise the stuff. Really, my body will no longer let me drink anything more than 1 bottle of urine (Budweiser etc.), one glass of wine/cava/champagne, or any spirits (to be fair, this has always been the case for me); if I try and go beyond that limit then my stomach simply rejects it.
I don't see the point in getting drunk/drinking a lot to start with, but i'd have liked to be able to stomach a bit more; having 1 beer over the course of a whole night whilst watching your mates get smashed out of their heads isn't my idea of fun (especially when you have to help them home 'cos you're the only sober guy there... Can't wait to do that -.-); but at least I won't have any hangovers/embarrassing incidents.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
I tried to avoid drinking too much up here in Scotland. But it failed....I think it says something about me that my embarassing drunken incident involves both cosplaying and the phrase 'FOR THE EMPEROR!'

Why you young whipper snappers...I've been skanking and listening to Ska since before you were born!!...and we didn't have Youtube to listen to music on...we had to go out and buy records...that's right records...printed in vinyl so the'd get all scratchy and skip...and we had to buy 'em again...and we loved it...
...And we couldn't get our Doc Martens and crazy hair color at the local shopping malls...we had to buy 'em in dingy little stores...filled with dingy little people...and things were better then...
...And another thing..Grumble rant rant rant rant..Hey...I can't find my Social Distortion CD...CDs bah..If it were a record I'd have never lost it..ya couldn't just loose a record...only scratch it up...and we...LOVED IT!!
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
22, and don't attend colege, haven't joined any party, don't do blogging, and don't wave flags (which would be a bad idea for me since my only flag is a Bismark flag replica)
I work, am underpaid and struggle to pay bills every single month of the year

I am aware that it exists longer then me. But that doesn't keep me from skanking. I don't color my hair, and I wear retro kinda clothes, not those stupid flabby things others of my generation often wear as clothing. And I also buy my clothes in 'alternative' shops. I hope that countered your ranting on the my generation. My generation is not 'generalized', there are individuals out there, that not follow the 'new trends'.

...Relax Scrazz...I was just having a bit of fun..I'm more than aware that "generalizations" concerning entire groups is BS...there are always "exceptions" in any demographic...
Geez...That's another thing about your generation...can't take a joke...
