Toilet paper jewelry?
I don't care if I was an AU fan, if my man gave me jewelry made out of toilet paper, he'd need a proctologist and a scope to remove it from his colon.

Nothing classless about killing that damn tree. Been advocating giving it that disease Anne Frank's tree had for years. Glad it's gone.

Damn, I thought I was the only one keeping calm enough to think rationally about where I'd tried to go from here.

I hate to break this to you, but that tree looks like a cedar tree not an oak. You've been sCam'd.

He uses a resin to harden it and then paints it. It doesn't look bad. I thought it was a brilliant idea. The art department has been using the toilet paper to make drawing paper for a few years too, since the building is right there.

So did the pressure washers wound them? What's the deal?
Every sacred tree I have seen at schools now has a fence protecting it. I am in no way advocating or defending the act... I absolutely adore big old trees, and they are a stoic archetype full of symbolism and grandeur. That said, it seems that with such a hated rivalry that exists between schools, to leave something so vulnerable that is so beloved is a bit careless.

If they die maybe they can at least do something cool like having someone carve the trunk like they did on the miss coast.
I hate to see this though, it is one thing to dislike a rival but it is another to damage a landmark of a university.

I call BS. There was an aub professor who tested the trees and soil after the finebaum nut called in, and the professor said the trees were not poisoned. I'll find the link & post it.
If the poison is as lethal as described in the press release, then no way to save the trees. I won't believe anything is truthful out of auburn university until we see the pics of the dead trees.

From the aub press release now:
--"We will take every step we can to save the Toomer's oaks, which have been the home of countless celebrations and a symbol of the Auburn spirit for generations of Auburn students, fans, alumni and the community," said University President Jay Gogue.--

Not mildly. EPA doesn't play around with unauthorized (especially callous or malicious) releases of toxic/hazardous materials. If I recall correctly, both RCRA and CERCLA have criminal penalties and seriously steep civil fines (though he might escape RCRA exposure by claiming it's not "hazardous waste"; not sure what the current caselaw is on that). Not to mention the FIFRA provisions that were almost certainly violated.
Whoever did this sure isn't gonna be laughing about it when the EPA goes all enforcement action on his arse.
The fines will have no bearing because this guy is on welfare. The judge will be under a lot of pressure to impose max sentence though.

Maybe someone will buy the sacred wood of the Toomer Tree and carve into an elephant
