I don't know about that. The pine cones I saw when I was down in NC last summer were some pretty darn mean looking pine cones! Nothing at all like the soft, safe, pacifist pine cones we have up here in Ohio.

Really! I went to pick up one of those suckers and it was as hard as a rock and covered with sharp spikes. You could barely hold one without cutting your fingers. I'd never seen anything like it and it kind of freaked me out.

In my judgment...a North Carolina pine cone probably could kill a squirrel!

That's right, they're hardy! And this is what we do to them cones...

YouTube - M1 Garands go "ping!"

Only way to kill 'em.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Funny. I just thought you painted them and decorated them and made little Christmas trees out of them.

Where's the fun in that?
