*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free

invasive species encroach on lesbian territory

This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.

A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.

Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.

As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.

Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.

This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.

A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.

Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.

One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.

Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.

Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.

Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.

Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.

This ma be my most favouritest sentence I’ve read all day:

Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem.

Sam: Who are you

Lobelia: I’m Lobelia Sackville-Baggins and I want to see Frodo!

Sam: never heard of you *slams door*

Sam, to Frodo: I panicked 😦

*

Merry: do you have an appointment?

Lobelia: what no

Merry: ahh. bad luck then.

Fatty: Frodo who?

Lobelia: Frodo Baggins!

Fatty: never heard of him

Merry: sudden onset smallpox

Lobelia: I don’t believe you

Merry: bet your life?

Lobelia: …….

Lobelia: *hastens down garden path*

Merry, calling after her: I’m immune! 🙂

Pippin: Fatty sat on him by accident and squashed him flat and now he’s dead

Lobelia: I can see him through the parlour window.

Pippin: ….DAMN IT

Fatty: yes hello I am Frodo

Lobelia: no you’re not, you’re Mr Bolger

Fatty: ………………no I am Frodo Baggins and this is my hole

Sam: he’s having a nap

Lobelia: well wake him up this is important

Sam: absolutely not

*

Pippin: he’s dead again

Lobelia: no he isn’t

Pippin: one of these days it’s going to be true and then you’ll be sorry

Fatty, holding out a fistful of teaspoons: p-please……. just take them…… take them and go….

Lobelia: I’ve never been so insulted in all my life!!

Lobelia: *snatches teaspoons and power walks away*

*

Frodo, deadpan: oh I’m sorry Frodo isn’t in, can I take a message? 🙂

Lobelia: I-

*

Lobelia: Can I speak to Frodo

Merry: no. *shuts door*

Lobelia: is Frodo in?

Sam: you know what….

*Frodo jumps out a window and runs to Buckland*

he just left.

When Frodo first started telling them to ‘get rid of Lobelia’ he meant like, politely but when he realised they were doing this instead he kept asking them to get rid of her to see what they’d come up with next
