 by NineInchNachos on 8/4/2009 @ 10:00pm | my dad electrifies his plum trees to keep the raccoons away. |
 by LogJam on 8/4/2009 @ 10:03pm | Give me your father's number - I need some more ideas for gags. |
 by Thorax O'Tool on 8/4/2009 @ 10:52pm | LogJam... or perhaps it should be LogicJam |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 11:26am | LogicJelly may be even tastier. |
 by JesseHillFan on 8/5/2009 @ 12:04pm | I need to electrify my Cherry Trees as I've had a lot of problems with raccoons before.I do have a spare 3.6 megawatt (2,000 volts at 1,800 amperes) pulsed power supply for my Class 4 Neodymium Glass LASER system (It powers the Xenon Flashlamps).The pulse only lasts for 500 microseconds though but that power supply should do in a raccoon.Due to inneficiencies of the power supply it's really at about 1,000 Joules of electrical power. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/5/2009 @ 1:09pm | have you considered going green with a solar-powered laser raccoon deterrent JesseHillFan? |
by NineInchNachos on 8/5/2009 @ 1:14pm | Jeff raises many philosophical questions with his comic strip based on sentient trees.
- trees can grow very very old - trees are both sexes at the same time - is there racial tension between evergreen & deciduous? - how do you deal with the stationary aspect of your characters? explore these questions and more with LOGJAM as your guide. |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 2:56pm | Hi, JesseHillFan: Whatever system you use, and in spite of the violence of my "electrified bark" strip, I hope your raccoons are only deterred and not injured or killed. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/5/2009 @ 3:06pm | I think JHF's raccoons are being hurtled back through time... which may or may-not be injuring them depending on your world view. |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 3:20pm | NineInchNachos: Dealing with the stationary aspect of my tree characters requires, first and foremost, that I seek to fully understand their stationariness. I often stand for hours in my backyard, nearly motionless except for a little swaying in the wind. One time a woodpecker landed on my head. The quest continues. |
by Thorax O'Tool on 8/5/2009 @ 6:26pm | If you need some motion, don't forget to add an Ent or two. If there were any part of the nation I'd expect to have an Ent, it's up here.
...that and sasquatch. |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 8:40pm | There is a problem with Ents. If I added an Ent, people would demand I add a hobbitt. If I added a hobbit, they'd want an orc. Around the same time, the Tolkien estate would sue me. |
by Thorax O'Tool on 8/5/2009 @ 8:45pm | Then add a sasquatch.
Or the ghost of DB Cooper |
by NineInchNachos on 8/5/2009 @ 9:10pm | I want to see more tree on tree interaction before he goes and adds more spin-off series characters. |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 9:50pm | I already have a sasquatch character. He's invisible. So are his word balloons. Enjoyment of his dialog depends on the reader's skill using oblivity, that is, the entering of a quasi-supernatural trance state, allowing one to see through the veil of the mundane, into the higher realm called Oblivion-Empty, a place seemingly barren of all thought, yet oddly stimulating, a place from whence arises the term "oblivity" itself, and in fact, that very place where the meditator may tap into the UNWOWI (Universal Wellspring Of Whack Ideas). Oblivs will be able to "receive" his dialog.
DB Cooper? That would just be too weird. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/5/2009 @ 9:57pm | dude you just blew my mind. I'm going to steal the above comment and use it in my own strip. |
by LogJam on 8/5/2009 @ 10:27pm | But remember, NIN, the very contemplation of theft, just as much as the act, threatens the living intellimesh of the UNWOWI. Strange and unwelcome forces may issue forth in response. Oblivity is double-edged and one must not be careless. Let me help you. For just 50 bucks and credit, I'll give you one-time use rights. -Kidding!- But you still can't use it - - I'm already using it in a another project. |
by Thorax O'Tool on 8/5/2009 @ 11:09pm | In case anyone hasn't noticed, as my body is frequently used as a vessel for channeling DB Cooper's ghost, I own the copyright.
And the ransom money. And the Columbia River and Skamania County, where the money was found. And the State of WA in which these things are found. So, all y'alls are infringing on my intellectual property by being here. Please send me a check for $800,000 in damages or I'll have to go RIAA on your asses. |
 by Mark Monlux on 8/6/2009 @ 10:30am | That reminds me. I need to borrow my neighbor's electric chainsaw this weekend. |
