Do Trees have Bungholes?
I suddenly feel like Lemmiwinks, the Gerbil King, ready to begin my quest inside of CB from Mangina Monologues. Le-Le-Lemmiwinks Lemmiwinks Lemmi-Lemmiwinks Lemmiwinks, Lemm-Le-Lemmiwinks the Gerbil King! All hail the Gerbil King!
Okay, I do feel guilty for showing the exposed anus of a tree. It doesn't seem very respectful. Even I have a conscience. All jokes about the Gerbil King aside, I chose to post these pics mainly for your scientific curiosity. And to take a swipe at CB... who thinks I am a wee man.

Brett you are horrible! Trees don't have bungholes. That's just your giant bottom-bias skewing your perception of the natural world. Trees have _stomatae_.
Although those photos you took clearly illustrate how extensive rot can be in a tree, and the importance of culling potentially dangerous trees from your property, particularly near buildings and parking areas.
As horrible as you are with this post, at least it wasn't about tennis. I'll read bunghole entries over tennis entries any day.
Thanks for the education Professor Jimbo. The Shrew and I were thinking this tree is a "water oak".
BTW -- My family doesn't have fireplaces because our winters are pretty mild. It may be "cold as a witch's tit" (as my Dad is fond of saying) for only a few weeks. This tree will probably just be buried on the land with a bulldozer. I am hoping the decomposition is good for the land.
You DO look rather gerbil-sized in that pic.
And as much as I know you want to explore my ass, I was sorta hoping for something a bit... bigger.
What kind of a monster u r Jimbo ??
I'd leve it alone if I were you Brett, it'd be a waste of time, like throwing a sausage down a hallway... Surely you can find a nice young sapling with a tighter ring?
Brett -- We don't need to hear about you and gerbils. And we won't tell PETA what you do with them either. :)
OMG you made it on Queerclick Stick about trees with bungholes
Well, goddammit, at least someone liked this post! I think I disgusted most of my regular followers with it though. Oh well... at least I didn't write about tennis or Dungeons & Dragons bullshit. ;)
What amazes me is that the tree's root system and you are so much a like--very shallow.
You look great in the recent pics and your hair implants are coming in nicely. You're gorgeous!;)
Oh you.
Funny analogy. Here in Boston we actually have a liquor store called Bunghole Liquors. The word derives from the hole put into a wooden barrel when making beer or wine.
HAHAHA Best blog post ever! Classic
