It's funny because I was googling because I can't sleep lately because I'm homesick and low and behold I see you are from Maine and saw your quote in the top corner of the page. I'm from Maine too and that's just the home I've been longing for. What a conincidence! Well, I wanted you to know that you made me smile!mainelistmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362307239146484052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-2041221612954549222010-02-27T11:12:45.192-05:002010-02-27T11:12:45.192-05:00Hi, as you may already noticed I'm newbie here...Hi, as you may already noticed I'm newbie here. <br />Hope to get some help from you if I will have some quesitons.<br />Thanks and good luck everyone! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-14715403887851362562009-02-02T14:24:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:24:00.000-05:00Back in Paul's day it used to take 1/2 dozen guys ...Back in Paul's day it used to take 1/2 dozen guys a day to chop down a few trees. Now they can cut down an entire hillside in a few hours. They've clear cut so much out here we have landslide problems.<BR/><BR/>I was on the road back in the 70s as well and I don't remember that much about it either. What's the expression? Been there done that now if I could just remember where and what I did.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-6655275792260619032009-02-02T13:43:00.000-05:002009-02-02T13:43:00.000-05:00So someone got the name of Paul Bunyan?

I won't question that, as long as the birth certificate is real, anyone can have one made up.<BR/><BR/>Bunyan is a real last name, ya gotta have Bunyan's to make more Bunyan's, so I suppose that there have been a lot of Paul Bunyan's come and go. <BR/><BR/>But I have more important things to think about. You got me to thinking about Armageddon and what might trigger it. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that most folks are smart enough to understand what would trigger such.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-45827053016820331512009-02-02T12:36:00.000-05:002009-02-02T12:36:00.000-05:00Funny - I first encountered the Paul Bunyan statue...Funny - I first encountered the Paul Bunyan statue in Bangor back in 1977 as well. We were on a road trip to Vermont.<BR/><BR/>In 1988 I drove my Chevette from Nova Scotia to California and back again. I still have a photo of myself, leaning on my car, taken in Bangor on Aug. 22, 1988, my last full day on the road before getting home, with Paul Bunyan in the background.<BR/><BR/>Good times, good times.El Cerdo Ignatiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646154540141962389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-47447784057824028722009-02-02T09:02:00.000-05:002009-02-02T09:02:00.000-05:00I can't help but to wonder what Joseph though when...I can't help but to wonder what Joseph though when his wife said "immaculate conception".

Damn Heathen.<BR/><BR/>You folks out West need those big trees to compensate for other things you got that are dinky.<BR/><BR/>Actually, when white man first put a foot on the shore of the New World, the White Pines of New England towered up to 240 feet tall. Southern Maine was covered in them. Not sure if you have heard the term Kings Pine, but it was a designation given to a tree that made the tree official property of the Crown. Generally any Pine wider than four feet at the base and clear of branches to fifty feet was promised to the defense efforts of the British Navy.<BR/><BR/>New England and Maine especially has been cut over so many times, it is not funny. But hey, our state is proof that trees do come back. They grow like frickin weeds here. One hundred years ago, every bit of the land around me was field. Now a forest of trees, many a hundred feet or more stand there instead.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-19049567373121521332009-02-01T22:31:00.000-05:002009-02-01T22:31:00.000-05:00Actually, Paul is just another myth, like much of ...Actually, Paul is just another myth, like much of the bullshit in bibles.

Well, maybe he did come from the east, but he came over here to cut down the fucking trees because our trees make yours look like wimps. ha ha ha.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
