Pullstart 62,905 #1 Posted April 18, 2023 Has anyone watched the movie? I didn’t realize it’s a true story! Burt is quite the feller! Here is the movie. I was reminded of it today. There’s a part where he asks his neighbor boy to pee on his tree every morning. The good ole boy neighbor snuck a red maple into my yard today and when I found him out he made me swear to water it until it’s healthy. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,987 #2 Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Watched that movie a few times. Great story. Urinating next to a tree , specially a fruit tree has proven advantages since human urine is a great source of several fertilizing elements. It is also sterile when ejected from body so there is no bacterial contamination of its recipients. There is also a good suggestion for alleviating prostate problems in that movie. Actually there is a lot to learn by watching it and paying attention to what is done and said. Edited April 18, 2023 by formariz 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put apple juice in a glass bottle, shook it up to create the illusion and explained to my friend about urine therapy and how great it's working for me. Then proceeded to suck down the whole thing. The look on his face was priceless! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,013 #4 Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I love the part where he is using black shoe polish to fill in the sidewall checks in his tires to pass tech inspection. Speaking of tech inspection, I'm in Houston at the moment. Going to be one of the robot tech inspectors for the world finals that are going to be held starting tomorrow. Somewhere between 600 and 700 teams. Two days of qualification rounds, 8 sets of double elimination rounds to sort out the top 32 teams. Then one set of double elimination rounds to determine the champions. Edited April 19, 2023 by 8ntruck 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sailman 1,291 #5 Posted April 19, 2023 One of my favorite movies.....even though I am a Harley guy. My favorite part was him melting down old parts, then pouring molten metal to make his own pistons and other engine parts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
