Looks like a April fools joke to me. The syrup industry is booming now and the US won't be able to produce enough this year if it wanted to. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, now that you've spilled the beans, yes it is an April Fools, but very well done so I hope they aren't kidding about posting the audio. It was quite funny. (UPDATE: The audio is available now.)

No harm done. Maybe we'll still catch a few people who follow the link before reading further down. Anyway, watch out for those exploding maple trees.

I think the trees are going to explode all over this year as they are not giving as much sap a normal. Those who have buckets should be very carefull in collecting. Its not worth losing an arm. :lol: :lol:
I enjoyed listening to the clip.

My wife and I were just enjoying this again and I thought I'd bump it up to top of the thread list. Enjoy.
