How mush wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Discuss.

(Translation: I rather need some email to check my "%$^ing email setup, and LJ comments are good because I can check here to see that I should've had some. Anyone feel like starting a scintillating conversation right here?)

Edited to add: Right, I am receiving mail now that I have changed my .forward. But the bloody procmail recipes still aren't working. I wonder if it thinks my mail folders are somewhere they're not. God, it's so complicated. I have been doing this all bloody morning.

That rather depends on a number of factors, including the size of the bits of wood, the density of the local atmosphere, and whether the woodchuck is still alive.

[claire-smith.livejournal.com]

Lots, I reckon. Or maybe not so much, if it was feeling lazy that day.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

But should a woodchuck woodchucks chuck if woodchucks could chuck woodchucks?

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, if a woodchuck COULD chuck wood, and if a woodchuck SHOULD chuck wood, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

[the-alchemist.livejournal.com]

Some.

How many boards would the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

More importantly, why does it matter, unless you're starting a woodchuck-based logging project? Grr!

[fluffymormegil.livejournal.com]

So that you know whether to fear an assault of flying wood when confronted by the mighty woodchuck army.

[raggedhalo.livejournal.com]

If you're confronted by said People's Revolutionary Army of Woodchuckia, you probably have more to fear from their fearsome sappers than from any wood they may or may not have the capacity to chuck within 45 minutes.

I think we need a Shards filk about digging, possibly to 'These Boots Were Made For Walking'. (These Claws Were Made For Digging?)

[raggedhalo.livejournal.com]

Agreed! It could be for Ellie and me, and be a touching recounting of how we dug under von Dumas' mines and killed lots of miners.

*grin*

I have just taught myself the tune and chords, so we're all set. Any lyric ideas, or a more detailed description of the concept? :)

[raggedhalo.livejournal.com]

Erm, it was Ellie and Brock crawling through tunnels when VvD was mining Frontier, setting explosives and occasionally appearing to blood phoenix people underground etc. On the surface, the Ghosts were also blood phoenixing and otherwise injuring/killing miners.

These claws are made for digging, and thats just what they did,
These old claws pulled the whole damn roof down on your head!

These bombs are made for sapping, and thats just what they did,
These explosives blew the whole damn roof down on your head!

[rejs.livejournal.com]

Quite a lot.

[rejs.livejournal.com]

or maybe not

[purpleheather.livejournal.com]

Fnangle!

[taimatsu]

Fwarble!

How mush wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

W = D*(T*C)^M

Where:

W = Wood
D = Duration of chuckage in shifts
C = Chucks per second
T = Seconds per shift constant
M = Mooses

[zandev.livejournal.com]

Wow. Power Mooses.

Procmail is a piece of crap, of course.

You might find an exim filter easier. On the other hand you might not.
