I'm Under Attack
I need a helmet because it has been raining Acorns. They are falling so fast is it just plain dangerous to venture into my backyard. I must have a hundred thousand of them, or so. The year before last, I raked 'em and filled five, forty gallon garbage cans.
This year...I say fuck it!...they stay as they lay.
I was outside the other evening, enjoying a nice cigar and a glass of wine...Ka-Bamn...wine glass explodes. Direct hit from a fucking Acorn.
I kid you not...

use a paper cup next time.
What you need are two or three pigs to eat all the acorns and fatten up into hogs. Then turn Stretch loose on 'em, and make sausage out of what's left!
.... two words, my friend.... patio umbrella......
.... around here it is those damn sweet gum fruits..... look like porcupine eggs or something..... so they not only HIT you in the head, they stab you at the same time!.....
My old place was like that. When the acorns starting falling it sounded like gunfire when they hit the roof. The squirrels took care of them though so my yard wasn't covered like that. That may the downside of Stretch having chased all yours away.
We've a similar problem here in our backyard except they are damn big walnuts falling!! A slight breeze and a car is full of tiny dents if parked beneath the trees. just sayin',,,
