“Going To See The Tree” Is Almost As Stupid As Apple Picking
Roc Center – The 2011 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree will be lit for the first time on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 with live and taped performances from 7 P.M. – 9 P.M., at Rockefeller Plaza, between West 48th & West 51st Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues, Manhattan. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a world-wide symbol of the holidays in New York City. The tree, traditionally a Norway Spruce, is illuminated by 30,000 environmentally friendly LED lights on five miles of wire, and crowned by a Swarovski crystal star. Tens of thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and hundreds of millions watch the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony broadcast live across the globe.
People always ask me this time of year “Hey KFC are you going to see the tree!”
Yea sure thing folks! Let me go traipse down to the heart of Rockerfeller Center, the only place in Manhattan that is more crowded with asshole tourists than Times Square, all so that I can have a gigantic tree in my field of vision. I’ll meet you there!
For sure not. If you’re over the age of 10 and don’t understand me not wanting to go there I don’t respect you as a person. And listen don’t call me Scrooge. Don’t say I’m some soulless J Double O who hates Christmas. I love Christmas. Best holiday of the year. But that doesn’t mean I wanna go stand outside in the cold next to 80 million little kids and photographer Asians. For real what does “going to see the tree” even entail? You grab your girlfriend and head down to Rock Center and you open your eyes and now have seen the tree. Then what? Ice Skating? BAH! Sure thing toots let me just strap on my figure skates. Go to some overcrowded over priced restaurant? Yea that sounds like fun too. At least with apple picking there is an actual activity, albeit a stupid one, that goes along with the idea. But “going to see the tree” just means going to a spot in Manhattan and looking at something.
I’d rather stay in the comfort of my own apartment wearing a reindeer Christmas sweater listening to the Justin Bieber Christmas album decorating my own tree.
PS – One more thing – it never fucking changes. Still looks like a big green tree with lights on it. Just like last year.
Agreed on all counts, the tree is for dipshits and tourists.
If you’re going to take your GF skating, save the $50 or whatever it costs at Rock Center and do it for free at Bryant Park.
typical KFC always picking on the Jews.
I bet if Entenmanns grew on trees you’d be picking them all day you one good eyed two chinned bastard
SHE WANTED TO GO APPLE PICKING LEAD TO AWESOME FREAKY SEX. NOW SHE WANTS TO SEE THE TREE… SO I WILL GO SEE THE DAMN TREE. SIMPLE EQUATION
disagree with u this time, that tree is festive as shit and gets me all introspective and shit like i got something important going on in my life or might sometime soon.. ice skating is for fags. kfc how bout u make a holiday donation to the J.E. Wish Foundation this year
nice try trying to make it seem like you hate the tree and keeping us away while secretly you are just trying to give yourself more elbow room to get the perfect tree picture for your desktop. nice try not falling for it!
A+ .. and if you need to take your gf apple picking or to the tree in order to have good freaky sex, you are a pussy.
The apple picking blog is one of the top 5 things i have ever read. Truer words never spoken. This one isnt nearly as funny, but just as true. Go stand shoulder to shoulder to look at a fucking tree? Why? And “thesocialassassin” – looking at a tree makes you feel like you have something important going on in your life? Really? By that reasoning, any asshole in the world can have something important going on – just go stare at a fucking tree…
i dunno man i took my girl to see the tree last year and promptly got my salad tossed
well my girlfriend is a smoke and very chill lady. she loves apple picking in the fall and is absolutely obsessed with christmas. you do the math.
yoyoma your girlfriend sucks
Billwalker for the win! Shut down the posts.
Add this on our campaigner in chief odummy has 3 stops in NYC at the same time. One stop is right in rockafella center. This will make things 10x worse. Oh and it’s the Jews fundraising for him I don’t get you guys he hates u and isreal
if i put some apples on that tree that will be twice as many people showing up
I told you–I grew up on a big 500 acre apple spread and picking is actually kind of fun. Bring some beers, some hot chicks, a spliff or two and bam, a fun time had by all.
A+
don’t knock it til ya try it
