Biscuit Lands Head for Logging

[davidlevine]

The above phrase was the top headline in this morning's Oregonian. If you aren't from Oregon or Washington, I'd be interested in your best guess as to what it might mean.

At a guess, a family or company called Biscuit or Something Biscuit owns a bunch of land, and is going to cut the trees down.

Wow, Biscuit Lands Head is running for Logging? I'll vote for him, but isn't it a little early in the cycle for the Oregonian to issue endorsements?

(Being from both Oregon and Washington, I figure I was entitled to offer a worst guess at what it might mean. :-))

Uh, is Biscuit a native tribe? Are the "Biscuit Lands" now going to be logged?

I first thought it was about a biscuit bringing somebody's head to land for purposes of logging.

Biscuit Lands, OR, have decided to take proactive action to avoid the Indonesian volcano, and have headed for Logging, OR. Which is between Boring, OR, and Grass Pants, OR.

This is terrible news. Our biscuit trees are a natural resource necessary for breakfasts all over the northwest. Where are we going to get our buscuits from now?

(Being an Oregonian, I thought I'd jump in with an other worst answer.)

An enormous biscuit has landed from space and is heading for the logging camp in the woods!

Get the bacon and gravy ready, boys!

Biscuit won the local logging contest, the prize of which was a severed head. Ewww.

Wasn't there a huge fire up there a while back called the Biscuit Fire? I seem to remember that, because some of these fire names are so bizarre you wonder what the inspiration was. New Mexico forests are being burnt out from lightning fires lately, and the names would make a comedy in themselves. Although it's not particularly funny.

So... I went to http://www.oregonlive.com/ to see how the story really reads (http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1149908141100310.xml&coll=7). They popped up an annoying screen, asking for my zip code, year of birth, and gender. I put 20505 (the dedicated zip for CIA), 1897, and Female. They didn't think any 109-year-olds have access to teh intarwebs, and bounced the year. 1907 was OK, but 1897 strained their credulity.

Thing is, I bet there are 109-year-olds with net access, and what a pain it must be when no one believes them.

Ding! It was indeed the lands that were burned in the Biscuit Fire that were heading for logging.
