'Tis the Season to be . . . Tree Surfing?

Tree surfer in San Clemente slams into car, injures head - LA Daily News: "Authorities say a man in San Clemente riding a Christmas tree being dragged behind an SUV slammed into a parked car and was hospitalized with head injuries.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 18-year-old and another teenager were Christmas tree surfing, a seasonal Internet fad."

Yep. Another peppermint sniffer.

Where do you find this stuff?

Oh, by simply looking at the asinine things we, the human race in general and especially us peppermint poppers, do.

I think it was Carl Hiassen (however you spell his name) who was asked by an interviewer where he got his stories and how many of the things that appear in his fiction was fiction.

He said, sadly, most of it was real. All you had to do was read newspaper. (Or something to that extent.)
