November 23, 200817 yr I cannot BELIEVE we've gone this long without: Yes, referencing "the mighty Scots pine", it's Monty Python's "Lumberjack Song." Been a LONG time since I've seen that skit. :laugh:
November 23, 200817 yr I wonder how many other songs have the word "pine" in them? "I'd Be Better Off In a Pine Box" is the only one that I can think of. Surely you jest. You cannot have forgotten the immortal Jimmy Donley's "Trail of the Lonesome Pine." Here is his discography. http://rcs.law.emory.edu/rcs/artists/d/donl1000.htm
November 23, 200817 yr Folks, there is not much that can pull me away from college football on a Saturday in the fall. And lest we forget, there is plenty of activity in the BGP college football and basketball threads today as well. But this homage to the majestic pine, whether it be Pinus strobus, the Eastern White Pine, Pinus taeda (the loblolly pine, of course - I can visualize Wireman barking out the answer before my fingers finish "taeda"), or any of the others - well, I knew that I would be doing little else today. Wireman, ttc, and everyone else who has contributed today, I am in your debt. I am a better man now than I was scant hours ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
November 23, 200817 yr Author I feel that all the time I spent in pine school was well worth it :thumb:

November 23, 200817 yr Wow. This might be the best thread ever on BGP. It's a sure fire bet to go straight to classic when it is done. So which type of pine tree is used to create the pine tar used by baseball players?
November 23, 200817 yr Does pine have any medicinal value? Yes, the mere discussion of pine is known to cause relaxation and lower blood pressure.
November 23, 200817 yr It has been quite fun.:thumb: ^ Yes, it has. In my relatively short time on BGP - just over three years - this is the first time I've been absolutely COMPELLED to "rate a thread". Four stars, natch. And that's my Pinal post in this thread. For today, anyway.
November 23, 200817 yr Author Wow. This might be the best thread ever on BGP. It's a sure fire bet to go straight to classic when it is done. So which type of pine tree is used to create the pine tar used by baseball players? Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about - yet another legitimately intriguing question :thumb: Who can find the answer first?
November 23, 200817 yr Author I guarantee there is a way to watch the live feed in the best thread ever (African Water Hole) and find a good quality pine tree. Guarantee it :thumb:
November 23, 200817 yr The key uses of pine oil are as an anti-infectious, antimicrobial agent in colds, flu, urinary and viral infections. To help disinfect and clear the air in your home during cold and flu season, use pine oil in aroma lamps and aromatherapy room diffusers. Pine has a long history of use as a pain reliever in arthritis, aches, pains and sore muscles. In Switzerland, mattresses are filled with pine needles for treating rheumatic ailments. The pinolenic acid contained in pine nut oil can help curb appetite also.
