Cellshots: Trees With Canes (Santa Monica)
By Ryan - Saturday April 07th 2007
I don’t know what it is about trees with canes but they crack me the hell up every time. These guys are the elder statesmen of nature and if they had mouths you just know they’d be sporting dentures and saying shit like “Wisenheimer” “Whippersnapper” and “Back in my day we didn’t used to…” To top everything else off, they always have big knobby knees and wrinkly old bark with liver spots. Frankly, they could not resemble your grandpa more. Respect your elders! The next time you see a tree with a cane stop laughing and ask him if there are any errands you can run for him. One day you too will be old.
Man, I’ve got to know the story of that tree.
That is so rad. I wonder how it would have grown without the canes.
Reminds me of the potato tree at UCLA, except with less confused people.
Reminds me of Salvador Dali. Awesome!
You left out one of key phrases uttered by old fart trees: “Where’s that hammer?”
