BrotherBart said:Come listen to my story bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer hardly kept his family fed
Then one day he was chopping up some wood
When up to his block
Walked some snotty Canuck dude
Slick feller. Tasseled loafers. Ascot.
Well the next thing you know old Jed's installed forced air
Kin folks said "Jed it's freezing cold in there"
They said renewable heat is where you oughta be
So he dusted off the saw and went lookin for a tree
Bore cut. Hand split. Stacked in a Holtz Hausen.

Most are written by folks with hearth-related questions, some are purchase orders, a few are compliments about the site. The ones that don't fall into any of those categories tend to be my favorites. Received this one today, and thought I'd share it with the forum. This is actually just an exerpt from a very long rant, but here you go:
"Wood smoke stinks and is "hillbilly heating" from caveman days. Where I live I have never met an intelligent wood burner - they are backwards, ignorant (education wise), they drive pickup trucks, and smoke cigarettes. I was a former by-law officer in our area and 75% of the unsightly properties were wood burners with their collection of railway ties, pallets, milled wood , treated wood and garbage and of course the derelict vehicles. Their properties are breeding grounds for rats, weasels and termites."

I finished this letter and said to myself, "Why, this extraordinarily perceptive individual has described me to a tee!" I wonder how many other members of the forum might be similarly amazed.

Remember.....We're bigger, and we're on top. If this was prison, you'd be our B!%(# ;-P
Actually, maybe it's an irate American posing as a Canadian? Sort of like Americans travelling abroad and sticking Canada flag decals on their luggage and backpacks so that they don't get hassled. We may seem meek and mild mannered, but don't get us P.O.'d.
Last time you did, we sent you Celine Dion !!
