Somehow this is no where as cute as cats.

a ridiculous story and one of the most poorly written articles that i've seen in quite a while. i'm betting that the journalist is either foreign, under 12 years old, or extremely lazy. great find!

Somehow this seems fitting. Sunday, church, old ladies, old guy stuck in a tree instead of falling off it, and all that.

Elderday not very poplar, but maple with thyme that will change.

It's the only way a 83 year old could get wood.

Anyways, this is not a cliche I would enjoy. And where's my caturday thread, dammit?

okay, IDNRTFA, but I have a comment:
I think they should have just left him alone.
Now, the poor, old, farker will probably just die of old age (probably in some state funded "nursing home").
That's NOT a good, nor dignified, way to leave this world.
If he'd went up in that tree with a couple dozen boiled eggs (perhaps even pickled, though I have no experience with such things), a large bowl of beans, and some organic broccoli...
How much better can you expect an 83 yo man to go out of this world?
I mean really, unless he has firearms, and then... no I'm sorry... NO firearms! Just the nasty farts floating down upon the fire dept. guys. That's the NOT the way I want to og out, but it sure aint the worst way, now is it?

Props to you for helping out. Just got back from 3 very ugly weeks spent with my 85 year old grandmother - I've come to the conclusion that the only way that anyone can do elder care/help/whatever is the fact that they get to go home at the end of their shift.

After reading the article, I'm also happy my grandmother doesn't climb trees.

Leave it alone; he'll come down on his own.

You never see any human skeletons in trees do you?

An elderly man was stuck in a tree for several hour on Saturday afternoon on the south side before anyone realized he needed help.

Oh, the south side. That pretty much explains everything.

"Well, we can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One is to tell stories that don't go anywhere! Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what we called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say! Now where was I? Oh yeah! The important thing to remember is that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, 'cause of the war. The only ones you could get were those big yellow ones..."

Nothing is obscure on Fark, especially when I just watched Fido two nights ago.
