6. Naw - most around here are parasitic drawf kinds

12. When you blast those little puppies off the tree
some of the spores scatter to other trees. Doesn't take much to start an infection. Did it myself once just by throwing old (I thought dead) mistletoe out in my (rural) yard.

9. I have looked up at unreachable mistletoe
and thought of how to get it down so many times. My visions usually involved a rod and reel.

Good for you!

16. You must be a damn good shot
All we had were rifles and the shotgun, and I couldn't get anywhere with the rifle. :shrug:
