That whole thing about woodchucks is stupid...

[MonkeyFunk]

They can't "chuck" wood. They don't have thumbs, so they can't grab, much less throw.

And where would they get the wood? I think people confuse them with beavers, since they're both semi-aquatic mammals.

In most jurisdictions, a woodchuck is just a fancy groundhog. And nobody wonders how much ground a groundhog slings, do they?

It's all dumb.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Which is why it says "IF a woodchuck could chuck wood."

It's acknowledging that they can't chuck wood.

And why would they wonder how much ground it slings? The question at hand would be how much ground does a groundhog hog?

Man, you suck at childhood tongue twisters.

[MonkeyFunk]

2. But WHY are people thinking about this?

Is wood-chucking a concern for most Americans? it's like Anna Nicole - just a distraction.


Six thick thistle sticks. Six thick thistles stick.

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Why do people think at all?

[MonkeyFunk]

4. to take their minds off

Anna Nicole.

Duh.

6. This thread is useless without dolo amber.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. What's that?

A special type of sap?

[asthmaticeog]

9. A very special sap, who, a long time ago, posted a now semi-legendary thread

revealing that the existence of woodchucks was news to her - she'd thought they were mythical beings.

It was pretty fucking funny.

[MonkeyFunk]

10. LOL...

for real?

Like unicorn woodchucks?

Actually, that'd be cool... groundhogs are missing a certain je ne sais quois that a horn would remedy.

19. You're on my turf, bub

Fat Tony will be around directly. :grr:

[matcom]

8. Well I for one will welcome our woodchuck Overlords

i SUGGEST you do the same

[mcscajun]

11. Then you'd better stock up now.

[Cabcere]

12. I like Woodchucks

Woodchuck Cider, that is. :evilgrin:



Oh, and my favorite tongue twister of all time is this:

"I slit a sheet/A sheet I slit/A new beslitten/Sheet was it!" ;)

[MonkeyFunk]

14. I learned it as

"I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit, upon the slitted sheet I sit".


But I'll take one of those ciders...

[City Lights]

22. That's how I learned it too.

I also learned, "I'm not the fig plucker, nor the fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck the figs 'til the fig plucker comes."

[mcscajun]

15. Hello, oh wise woman.

:hi:

[mcscajun]

13. In *this* jurisdiction...Woodchucks are very tasty.

They are also the house beverage of choice. (after hours, of course)

[Cabcere]

16. Great minds, mcscajun!

:hi:

[Redstone]

17. Well, they got those big teeth; they could grab the wood and hurl it with a sidewise

neck-snap, yes?

Bet you didn't consider THAT.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. You do raise a good point...

I imagine they could chuck twigs and sticks..

But you haven't addressed the question of motive!

WHY? Cui Bono? HAND LOTION NOW!

[Zuiderelle]

20. I don't care about slinging groundhogs,

but I actually do wonder how much ground a groundhog could rut if a groundhog could rut ground.

[poiuytsister]

21. Monkey, you seriously need to get laid.
