But it's still officially July here! While, er... whilst it's good to early, don't call it premature! ;)

Seeing as how the DB judges are here reviewing your efforts of last month, what better time than now to crank up the fertile organ up North and drop a contest on ya? :cool:

A simple one line example of your sense of humor, a dozen or so paragraphs displaying your horticultural expertise, a humble haiku, it's all fodder for the funny bone. You come out ahead of the throngs, nay legions of DB faithful, you skip merrily away with a T shirt or coffee cup sure to reach your doorstep before the next ice age.

And a quick note: No trees were hurt during the shooting of the picture encased belowst.

Ante up and throw down, funnyfolks!:D

Sven, after having bagged a Saw-fish, lies in wait for the elusive Dog-fish -- a pescatorial delicacy that is often drawn to small trees by the irresistable urge to mark its territory.

After his speargun steps on his toe and kicks him in the shin, Sven hatches a revenge plot against the gun's family tree.
 
"...In a little country town, a long, long way from here,
a blond and bearded spearo, felt desire for a wooden spear.
His gun was crafted by hand...from wood you understand...
but lets get real, no spear of steel will quite complete THIS brand !

So now the search is on, armed with just a rusted saw...
no west coast trees are safe, until that steel spear is no-more!
Once Sven has found the branch, and finished shaping it from dirt,
the wooden gun will be complete, and BlueCape gets a DB shirt!!"



Well, I can always hope


:duh
 
"Hmmm, should I use the saw for a nice clean cut, or the slip-tip for a guranteed landing"
 
"Teak tree junior just found out what happened to the mummy tree"

uh.. lame... :duh
 
He's a Lumberjack...

Adapted from the Monty Python original...

And the token crass joke... :D

No matter how many times Svens wife expressed disinterest in his wood, he always got the wrong idea...

Retort to Shadowkiller

Wrong species; that's called a lumber jack-in-the-box...he always pops up when you least expect him, looking goofier than the last time you saw him.

Business plan!

"Svens idea of a spear gun plantation looked good on paper, but he found out he would have to wait some time to reap the rewards"
 
OW OW OW OW OW!

"Now, lets see..... just keep smiling..... pull the spear out of the ground and out of my foot.... <sweating breaking out> that's it, just keep smiling..... if this doesn't work, we'll try sawing it off just above my shoe and lifting my foot off.... just keep smiling.....who put tension on the blasted thing anyway?..... just keep smiling ..... I KNEW I shouldn't have filed that trigger release down so much.... just keep smiling <gritting teeth>..... "


:hmm

Pretty lame but.....
