brings a new meaning to the 'living ship' issue...

do they preferentially pick female trees?

[taennyn]

*snerk* Tha'd bring a whole 'nother level to that sea, ship and sailor issue . . .

Nah, not really. Whoever's willing to be talked into it, and/or doesn't object when a saw's waved near 'em. >.>

[klgaffney]

..that's purely awesome. and do they have to notify the tree's next o' kin?

[taennyn]

Not generally, unless the ship's lost entire. I think, anyway.

just as a comment, I didn't so much read the cut-tag as click on it, and so it didn't work as well the first time as if I had.

[taennyn]

*nods* I'm not actually sure what all they lost, or what it's named, which is why the familiar-ish list went into the cut-tag but not the piece itself. But can freely admit it'd be annoying and I do humbly apologise.

(I may be coming down with the boy's Plague and thus meandering gently towards delirious. >.>)

[dormouse_in_tea]

aaaaahso.

*pokes you!* *irritable* no plague.

[taennyn]

'We at the W.H.O. don't really like to use the word 'plague'.'
'So what do you think it is?'
'A plague.'
/Sahara moment

Plague may be inevitable. But I will do my best to channel the delirious into entertainment for others?
