Sometimes You Get the Trees, Sometimes They Get You [PICS]

elitefeet.com — The beauty of running are the things you pass by as you run along. You get to see things that you don ’t notice as you drive by in a car. You may have run the same route 50 times but you find yourself seeing something different each time. I ran by a tree than had grown over a fence and it got me to thinking ...

  • Callsorputs, on 02/13/2008, -11/+293Dugg for "the ultimate bike lock"
    • digjam, on 02/13/2008, -13/+5I highly doubt the bike was there for a long time... if it was there for so many years that the tree almost ate it.. that bike should be covered with so much dirt and dust that you wont be able to see even the name...
      Rest are cool!
      • fr3nch13, on 02/13/2008, -5/+2Rain?
        • digjam, on 02/13/2008, -2/+2rain should still throw some mud over it...
        • murf1000, on 02/14/2008, -1/+3In my town, it rains mud.
        • 2oonhed, on 02/14/2008, -1/+1They call my town Flatrock.....because when it rains, it sounds like a cow pissing on a flat rock.
    • Iamironman, on 02/13/2008, -1/+4Dugg for clepto Ents
    • vkiperman, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1By it's style and shape (especially the seat and exhaust pipe) it looks like a bike from the early seventies, maybe even late sixties.
    • Antixian, on 02/13/2008, -6/+1photoshopped kids.
  • rtknox00, on 02/13/2008, -54/+298In Soviet Russia, tree runs into you!
    • LiquidIse, on 02/13/2008, -28/+13Soviet Russia joke... must bury... but so relevant... dugg
      • Tonohono, on 02/13/2008, -3/+31When reading the title, was anyone else's first thought, "In Soviet Russia..."?
        I'm glad to have not been disappointed by a lack of said joke in the comments~
      • tehpwnerofn00bs, on 02/13/2008, -1/+35Hell, I only went to read the comments to find the Soviet Russia ones.
        • edwartica, on 02/14/2008, -2/+2In soviet russia, comments read you!
          Ok, that was lame.
    • sandburn, on 02/13/2008, -23/+3i see what you did there...
    • xmizzbojanglesx, on 02/13/2008, -17/+5Can someone PLEASE explain this Soviet Russia joke?? I don't want to be lost anymore.
      • shakbhaji, on 02/13/2008, -0/+35Before doing a quick google search I would've pointed you to The Simpsons episode where they go to Branson, Missouri. But I learned something...
        Originated with Cold War comic genius Yakov Smirnoff.
        "In America, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, party always finds you." -- Yakov Smirnoff
        Popular on slashdot, appearances on Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama.
        In America, you watch television. In Soviet Russia, television watches you.
        In America, you shoot gun. In Soviet Russia, gun shoots you!

        The intertubes aren't just for pr0n. It's also useful for finding information. It's easy to do yourself too, which is why you're getting buried here on digg.
        • xmizzbojanglesx, on 02/13/2008, -1/+17Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me :)
        • humperdeath, on 02/13/2008, -2/+12In America, you find information on the net, In Soviet Russia, Internet finds you.
        • edwartica, on 02/14/2008, -1/+8"The intertubes aren't just for pr0n."
          liar. :P
      • Henko, on 02/13/2008, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Smirnoff
        • Gir53457, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3It's amazing how much truth there was in his jokes. America has such nice things. Like warning shots.
        • NightVortez, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3"Reading employment announcements of "Part-Time Woman Wanted": "What a country! Even transvestites can get work."

          Sad to see how much comedy has deteriorated now that we have people like Dane Cook being on top.
    • GhostM, on 02/13/2008, -9/+4I hate you....





      .....r joke
    • Cloudime, on 02/13/2008, -6/+3Finally, a good one.. I guess for every 50 stale ones you get 1 good one.
    • StolenLamp, on 02/14/2008, -2/+1Doesn't make sense, because nobody ran into anything...
    • namman, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1AH DAMNIT
      i guess great minds think alike
      that was the first thing that came to mind when i read the title
  • badtiki, on 02/13/2008, -26/+7awww....didn't know Herbie was a tree hugger....literally!
    • badtiki, on 02/14/2008, -1/+1ok all I can think of is either my joke was TOO corny OR the average digg users age has dropped considerably, which is it?
  • socialpyramid, on 02/13/2008, -12/+59If I didn't digg this, my avatar image would die..
  • jmas9, on 02/13/2008, -10/+378OM NOM NOM NOM
  • lovecss, on 02/13/2008, -9/+65"Ooh, ahh", that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and then screaming...
    • jm4847, on 02/13/2008, -5/+2hahaha?
    • Sornos, on 02/13/2008, -5/+3Jurassic Park quote not relevant.
    • randomerratum, on 06/10/2008, -1/+12Why are you getting dugg down?
      That was funny!
      Does everybody hate Jeff Goldblum that much?
  • talonstriker, on 02/13/2008, -11/+94OH NOES ITS AN ENT!
  • DragonGirl724, on 02/13/2008, -39/+6I knew it. I KNEW someone would do it! 'In Soviet Russia....bla bla bla'.
    stop with the soviet russia jokes! NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!
    • dgp1, on 02/13/2008, -6/+55In Soviet Russia, Funny isn't YOU anymore.
      • edwartica, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3I am going to make some duplicate digg accounts just so I can digg you up multiple times.
  • SHv2, on 02/13/2008, -20/+0Nom Nom Nom
  • mt066, on 02/13/2008, -8/+223Trees would consume your whole family if given the chance. That's why we need to cut all of them down.
    • Udog, on 02/13/2008, -2/+143If you put a baby in front of a tree for 15 years, it will eat that too.

      Lord help us all if glaciers and trees ever unite.
    • b1kerguy, on 02/13/2008, -22/+0*insert rip van winkle joke here*
    • noahhoward, on 02/13/2008, -1/+14Here's an interesting question. If you strap a child to a tree which will consume which first? The child grows faster than the tree so I'd wager on the child.
      • benbrooks101, on 02/13/2008, -0/+24The child would die before the tree dies, So you're wrong..

        Tree wins!
    • BigBallistix, on 02/13/2008, -6/+3THEY'RE COMING RIGHT FOR US! *BLAM* ... "They must have body armour! Every man for himself!
      • hibbity123, on 02/13/2008, -1/+1i kinda wish i understood, it sounds fun, but i can't seem to find any reference to the article at hand
    • shadeOfGrey, on 02/13/2008, -1/+4If trees only grew like a hundred thousand times faster, they'd be quite terrifying.
    • mjl5629, on 02/14/2008, -0/+4GWOT

      Global War on Trees
  • scubadivider, on 02/13/2008, -8/+2aww.... yes they are
  • hamish, on 02/13/2008, -7/+20well...

    sometimes you eat the bar... and sometimes... the bar eats you!
  • jab2980, on 02/13/2008, -56/+5Do Photoshopped images really entertain you guys that much to digg this?
    • Ender008, on 02/13/2008, -2/+23If you don't know that this actually happens, you need to get out more.
    • Navicerts, on 02/13/2008, -2/+19You must have grown up in the city. Trees do indeed do the things depicted here.
      • Ender008, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1We have trees here in the city too...
    • ophello, on 02/13/2008, -2/+5Oh great. Another idiot who thinks everything is photoshopped.

      Get a life, and go outside. Trees do in fact grow around things.
    • inquebiss, on 02/14/2008, -1/+5OH NOES TEH PIKSELZ!!!
    • Triterion, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4Most of them are not photoshopped, but the Car and the motorcycle are without a doubt.
      • slamm71, on 02/14/2008, -1/+2Yeah and the license plate one looks shopped to me to. Doesn't mean they're not cool though =)
  • huyzee, on 02/13/2008, -5/+66the money tree creeps me the hell out
    • archivist, on 02/13/2008, -0/+26yeah... i thought it was either cruel and or disgusting... like scales.
      • t3soro, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4cruel? did trees suddenly get feelings?
        • archivist, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1well, the thought of it looks cruel. i don't know about you.
    • SACubeMonkey, on 02/13/2008, -1/+13I dunno why but every last one of those pictures creeps me out. The Christmas tree lights one is especially eerie.
    • pardonator, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7I find them all freaky, not sure why, it's just wrong 0_o
    • redeyesofnight, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4Also not sure why, but something about that picture just sits wrong with me.
    • atticus8, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4can't put my finger on why, but they freak me out too (the money one the most)
    • bjs3171, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2me too.
    • fightforyou, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3I think they all creep me out because of the Tree Man story I saw here on Digg. I'm pretty much scarred for life. I don't like trees anymore.
    • whyhelloheart, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1All of them make me feel a bit creeped out =[
  • jm4847, on 02/13/2008, -27/+6Cool. But it does look shopped.
  • JEWestbrookJR, on 02/13/2008, -2/+15A friend of mine restores classic cars and bought a late 40's model pickup that had a tree growing through it where the hood should be. It put that VW picture to shame. He had to go through some great measures to free it.
    And my parents bought a house that the previous owners left christmas lights on the trees for several years and had been swallowed.
  • meggani, on 02/13/2008, -14/+2So what does the sign say?
    • SkippyDoorknob, on 02/13/2008, -1/+22Beware of Tree
    • dwalker, on 02/13/2008, -1/+14DANGER: fast growing trees in this area.
    • NewClassic, on 02/13/2008, -0/+19On the top, I can see a little bit of "Tresspassing"
      In the middle, "FORBIDDEN"
      On bottom, "penal" which I'm imagining is "Under penalty of law."

      So, roughly, I'm going to guess:
      Private property.
      All tresspassing is
      FORBIDDEN
      Under penalty
      of the law
      • meggani, on 02/13/2008, -5/+2haha, thanks XD. It looked more like a license plate to me.
      • voltagasm5000, on 02/13/2008, -1/+1Your detective skillz are astonishing.
  • MindTrigger, on 02/13/2008, -2/+46That oval window VW bug is very rare and worth a fair share of money to the right buyer. What a waste.
    • MasterGrief, on 02/13/2008, -0/+9That's exactly what I was thinking. Aside from the tree intervention, that oval looks freakin pristine compared to others I've seen. I'd like to know where that is.
    • MUX667, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3ditto. oval windscreen
      what a pity.. but i guess that exactly what makes it even more special..

      if restored, i'd still wouldgive it eyelid headlamps though :o)
      • MasterGrief, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1I love those things. They give a car with character even more of it.

        Incidentally, I believe they are usually called "eyebrows", not eyelids.
  • u8myfoood, on 02/13/2008, -3/+5If you grow a bunch of trees around your house and come back several decades later would you have a literal tree-house?
  • jrdbrn, on 02/13/2008, -2/+26Trees gotta eat too
  • Ozzimo, on 02/13/2008, -10/+5Dugg down for not having the State famous "Bike eating Tree" aka the second best bike lock ever. ;) http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tips/getAttraction. ...
    • Navicerts, on 02/13/2008, -0/+8Cool pic but no reason to digg a decent article down.
  • henhouse0, on 02/13/2008, -10/+5I love the motorcycle one, that's just cool.
  • supercracker, on 02/13/2008, -8/+2Holy *****! That was cool.
  • heartsblood, on 02/13/2008, -11/+2awsome
  • Goodbyeworld, on 02/13/2008, -9/+2obviously, these pictures were taken in Soviet Russia
    • pikpikcarrotmon, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3Because in America, cars and motorcycles eat trees?
  • digindrivefast, on 02/13/2008, -10/+3I could run past this posting a 100x's and still see nothing...
    loading, loading, done.... nothing.
    Mirror?
  • Tackmandu, on 02/13/2008, -8/+1I must not be everyone because I have no idea what the sign in the last picture says.
    • randomerratum, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2No trespassing..... I think, right?
    • Sneezyx, on 02/13/2008, -0/+18It says "Trespassing Forbidden ... Violators will be eaten by the tree."
  • Greenergrass, on 02/13/2008, -7/+2I would like them to eat more! More Power back to Nature!
  • blantonator, on 02/13/2008, -3/+8That's an old honda cb750 sohc4. sweet bike
  • xmizzbojanglesx, on 02/13/2008, -10/+5Can someone PLEASE explain this Soviet Russia joke?? I don't want to be lost anymore.
  • CayoHuesoDude, on 02/13/2008, -8/+1Our backyard: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2119/1991632688_e7d ...

    Our side yard: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/13/17877949_6f2e7a8 ...
  • wolfboy2883, on 02/13/2008, -2/+28Al Gore stole my bike!
  • daqq, on 02/13/2008, -2/+21I, for one, welcome our new Dicotyledon-overlords.
  • itsbob, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10strange, that bike should have been rusted beyond recognition...
    • eirinikos, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7They don't make things like they used to.
    • Triterion, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1And it's tires would be totally flat.
  • pyro789x, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6There is something strangely nauseating about these pictures... Almost like looking at horrible human deformities with bars sticking through faces or something.
  • add1802, on 02/13/2008, -8/+2some of them are definitely photoshopped. The car has no depth between bumper and tree and the hood isn't bent. Motorcycle is clever but obvious. I think the penny one might be real though. The Trespassing sigh looks convincing but could easily be done. Very cool though
    • ophello, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3You're an idiot. Stop trying to prove ***** is photoshopped when it is clearly not.
    • Triterion, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1 I agree add1802... Idiots: keep buying him... Can anyone prove that they're not? I didn't think so!
  • cl2yp71c, on 02/13/2008, -6/+1Title reminds me of a "In Russia...." joke.
  • se1zure, on 02/13/2008, -1/+3somone should paint the trespassing sign black and add a red tounge.... and add some eyes.
    almost-instant tree monster!
  • Snowy620, on 02/13/2008, -4/+0Bobby never had to worry about bike thieves
  • donald347, on 02/13/2008, -5/+1Sometimes they get me pics? Not me pics! Pics are for kids.
  • m1zl3d, on 02/13/2008, -2/+11These trees are all bark and no bite.

    ...Oh wait...
    • RhodesSkolar, on 02/14/2008, -0/+5Now that was funny!
    • 2oonhed, on 02/14/2008, -0/+5's right......it don't matter who ya are....that there was funny
      • StolenLamp, on 02/14/2008, -0/+4***I don't care who you are, dats funny right there.***
  • thatashguy, on 02/13/2008, -3/+1nah, the pixels look all correct.

  • blankb, on 02/13/2008, -7/+1http://digg.com/odd_stuff/The_Real_Pikachu_4
  • Oryx, on 02/13/2008, -1/+4YR OFFERING PLEEZES HUNGRY LOLTREE
  • RhodesSkolar, on 02/14/2008, -1/+0Isn't that a Jimmy Hoffa tree Mommy?
    • RhodesSkolar, on 02/15/2008, -0/+0No darlin'. I think it's the Clinton tree. Sparky! Stop peeing on that......
  • dailyapplecrisp, on 02/14/2008, -3/+2who carries a camera when they run?
    • jojo1224, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Who runs? There are better things like digg or other computer related things.
  • TecK415, on 02/14/2008, -1/+3"Is that money tree have actual money embedded in it or is that just an illusion?"
    Lol... One of the comments on that page.
    • Zephik, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1All money tree's are illusions, they only make you think they have money. The next thing you know, a gigantic ***** worm jumps out and eats you.
  • beasty_dave_Mk2, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3the taillights on that bug are worth a pretty penny
  • LordSeth, on 02/14/2008, -5/+2Ive got wood.
  • nshady, on 02/14/2008, -1/+1That just really weirded me out for some reason.
