< VxD> welcome cygnus
* cygnus waves
< VxD> how would you like to be spanked today?
< cygnus> moderately, with birch or oak
< VxD> sorry, I only have alder
< VxD> it's pretty similar to birch though
< cygnus> that's fine
< VxD> one of the harder softwoods
< VxD> or softer hardwoods :)
< cygnus> lol
< VxD> hey, that wasn't a joke
* VxD really does spank cygnus now
< VxD> alder gets nice dark veins in it if left dead before milling for a
set amount of time
< cygnus> hahahaha
< GiR> hahahaha are you serious?
< VxD> the veins of dark wood usually occur just before rotting
< VxD> I don't get why you are making fun of my little forestry lesson
for you here
< VxD> it's not every day you get to learn about a harder softwood with
dark veins that tends to grow in moist creekbeds!
< Nihilist> ...wow
< VxD> because of the moist environment, many of them tend to rot off at
the roots though
< _vertex_> nice
< VxD> but you can always cut them up and use them as firewood
< _vertex_> I need wood
< VxD> call my dad, he'll give you the wood
< _vertex_> he did! last year. I just used the last of it up.
< VxD> he's got more where that came from
