It should be the oaks pleading for more sunlight. A young oak will not grow in the shade of another tree, while maple seedlings grow well in the shade. Oak forests/prairies were historically maintained by wild fires or other dynamic events where large amounts of light would become available in the forest understory. However in today's fire extinguishing world, as old oaks die, they are replaced by young maples that have been growing in their shade, and will in turn prohibit the establishment of new oaks.

the willow weeps for their plight.

It's Plato esq.. Trying to get them to see the shadows. Next we take them out of the caves.

I liking rush is a requirement for being a geek. I might just have to quit. :)

this makes me want to start some dead baby jokes....

uh-oh. is it THAT kind of forum?

You mean Rush Limbaugh...right?!

I'm more of a George Noory guy myself because I think there's a Chupacabra under my bed...

I ride a soma rushhhh and would be down for a game of dnd...

I'd be down for a game of Roshambo.

"It's dangerous!"

um,

I think to answer this question, one only need to look at the number of people browsing each one of the bike forums and you will realize that the singlespeed fixed gear one is ALWAYS full of people geeking out on the internet about bikes.

I have never seen any of the other forums with more people in it.

i'll keeck you in tha nuts!
is that show still good?

rush was this liquid record cleaner stuff you could buy at a head shop in the 80's. One snif and you would see spots and for some reason we thought that was cool.

As far as hiding behind punk goes, still today it is the firewall of justice.

I see oversized guys with football logos painted on their bare chests and faces shaking it on live tv and who's a carnival freak?

'punk is the firewall of justice'

'it's only rock and roll, but I like it'

I like Rush (among many, many other bands and genres), what does that make me?

Not Dungeons and Dragons though. Maybe that makes it ok....

Ding..Ding..Ding

We have a winner !!

I've never seen the SS/Fix with more than the road forum... Ever.

I'm so out of it geeks make fun of me. sigh.

But I do ride a fixed gear so can I still hang out here?

Sure, but we're going to have to take your lunch money.

You can ride wit me anytime you're in town. (And I'm in town too, cause if I'm not here, you're on your own...)

Hide behind the PUnk music? I have never stopped listening to it since hearing for the first time back in 1983. I still wear my checkered vans. One of the reasons I hate the designer punks.

....I was born in 1983...can I still be cool?

If you take it okay about not knowing who the Ateam is, yeah.

Oh and as for geek,,,, you know you are when you can tell your friends what kind of bicycle your seeing while watching a movie.

sometimes, it would make you hear pacman.

Rush + D&D = nice SLC punk ref.
