Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 17, 2019

Come on Lio, Leaf them alone!

Show’em who’s boss, Lio!

Just don’t jump into the pile.

Don’t fall for that, Lio.

Or Lio can just set them on fire…

They’ll take your dignity when they put you in a pile and jump on you.

If it wants not to be taken by Lio, it should take its leave.

I’m actually surprised he didn’t have a giant bat use it’s wings as a leaf-blower.

It’s Braveleaf!

If they don’t like it here they can just leave.

I really, really, REALLY hated that movie. https://thehande.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/braveheart-the-10-historical-inaccuracies-you-need-to-know-before-watching-the-movie/ and it’s actually far, far, FAR worse than they say. It’s actually worse than The Patriot, which is hard to do. I’ve simply given up on Mel Gibson movies.

Reminds me of the song ‘The Clansman’, about the Highlanders defending their land. I LOVE that song!

Assuming the original quote is “take our lives” (I didn’t see the film and have no intent of doing so – I’m not into torture porn), leaves saying “take our leaves” doesn’t really parse for me; “take us leaves” would’ve worked better…

I see…. Oak. Beach, Maple(?) ?

I am not a lumber! I am a tree man!!

Talk about a lost cause…

So, what’s a rebellious leaf going to do? Hook up again with some denuded tree?

Your “cause” is hopeless! And unnatural! Leaves fall: that is the way of things….
