    • spidoman, on 06/20/2008, -2/+28He clearly was hit on the head with one too many cocounts.

      *Crickets*

      • kingvik, on 06/21/2008, -0/+9Palm Tree Man runs away.
        Asian Clerk gains 20 exp.
        • LeeSoong, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1Though the clever thief attacked with
          a +1 Shambling Palm,
          the clerk wieldied the mighty
          'Stool of Endore' dispelling palm magic in a 10 meter radius...
    • timpkmn89, on 06/20/2008, -0/+75Enemy Robber uses Razor Leaf!

      ...

      It's not very effective...
    • tbunreal, on 06/20/2008, -12/+4This is not 4chan!

      ...

      It's not very effective...
    • 1337chic, on 06/20/2008, -7/+4"You've got a palm tree?"

      "Yeah, I got a stool, so get out of my f*cking store."
    • orangekid13, on 06/20/2008, -1/+28duh, stool always beats palm tree... however it's weakness is fat bitch
    • pauls88, on 06/20/2008, -2/+2reminds for some reason of simpsons where wiggum sells bits of his gun.

      "Wiggum: yeah but i can throw this pretty hard!
      Homer: poor wiggum
      Wiggum: poor wiggum
    • DeathGod321, on 06/21/2008, -0/+17I wanted to see him walk in with the entire palm tree, not just a branch.
    • wickensworth, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5I thought he might have been trying to use the palm tree to help block the camera. Still a retarded idea, but slightly more effective
    • CurlyFoot, on 06/21/2008, -2/+1Stool > Palm Tree
    • Larsonal777, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7So... what I've learned from this is that if you can find a bigger stool then you can rob that place.
    • Sillywombat, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1Chair beats palm tree.
      However, garden shed beats chair.
    • smoger, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1..and not really even "chased out". more like "walked out" ... lol
  • iamronburgundy, on 06/20/2008, -4/+23That is the dumbest thing I've seen all week. What an idiot!
  • mspink, on 06/20/2008, -2/+85"Fear my Sword of a Thousand Palms, you petty convenient store clerk!"
  • MikeonTV, on 06/20/2008, -7/+48Why not use the masheti he used to chop the damn thing down?
  • guillebravo6, on 06/20/2008, -2/+15what an idiot!
  • MarianaPeyton, on 06/20/2008, -9/+1I would be very scared of that tree palm, but that guy ran away from a guy with a chair. What an idiot!
  • TheCarDude, on 06/20/2008, -1/+17I think a coconut to the store clerks dome would have been more threatening.
  • sluggysan, on 06/20/2008, -1/+146dugg for potential best use of palm tree ever
    • sterntastic223, on 06/20/2008, -6/+1no question best use ever
    • CYR1X, on 06/20/2008, -0/+24Best use of palm trees is this hobo in san francisco who puts two branches in front of his face and then "hides", waits for unsuspecting people to walk by and yells "BOOO!".

      He's world famous you know.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Famous_Bushman
      • KevinRWright, on 06/20/2008, -0/+15The man might be homeless but he makes more then me...$60,000 a year for jumping out of a bush and scaring people? Are you kidding me? I feel like if I did that I'd get arrested.
      • 1337chic, on 06/20/2008, -5/+1"Crowds gather to watch him work, often including those he has previously scared"

        If he hadn't previous scared you would you know to stop and watch?
      • datcrazydj, on 06/21/2008, -1/+2I remember that guy when I was in San Francisco a couple years ago! He's so damn awesome.
      • horizonsonfire, on 06/21/2008, -1/+3The wikipedia page led me to a youtube video with this gem of a comment:

        joedaddysdaddy (1 month ago)
        Oh, the bushman, what a classic, i wonder who his predecessor will be.
  • bixby1, on 06/20/2008, -1/+29Every time i have a palm tree in my hand I just want to find the nearest living thing and kill it.
  • PatrickJonathan, on 06/20/2008, -1/+60cornholio is robbing people with palm trees , what is the world coming to
    • stonebone4, on 06/20/2008, -1/+18you know times are tough when even the great cornholio has to steal tp for his bunghole.
  • Lolosway, on 06/20/2008, -15/+4hahahaha.. yes.. "dugg for potential best use of palm tree ever".... my thoughts exactly!!!!
  • zephyr42, on 06/20/2008, -2/+25I give him mad props for creativity.
    • Breticus07, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2it must have been spur of the moment
  • EASwanson, on 06/20/2008, -2/+71I think this clip would be exponentially better if some Monty Python narration was added in.
    • Razster, on 06/20/2008, -1/+2I only know Self-Defense Against Fruit... Not a Palm Tree or a Pointed Stick :( I would have to let him rob me then.
    • Nescirian, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0"Ah! The Fijian Green! Beautiful Plumage!"
      "The plumage don't enter into it! This tree is dead!"
  • FizzanoMatrix, on 06/20/2008, -0/+12Where's the outside camera of the fight between palm tree and wooden stool?
    • Sillywombat, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1Chair beats palm tree.
      However, garden shed beats chair.
  • 1randomguyO8, on 06/20/2008, -8/+14ARMED ROBBERY.
    You're doing it wrong /b/
  • kavutu, on 06/20/2008, -7/+2Now that is a dude with a WOODY!!
  • mrgodai, on 06/20/2008, -2/+7the end looks pretty sharp tho...

    i think my grandma might get a bit scared if this happens to her, then she pulls out a shutgun and shoots the guy.
    • bongo, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3In his defense, the palm fronds that fall off palm trees are like thick pieces of wood. So that was pretty much a sharp wooden stake. Come to think of it, perhaps he was hallucinating that the clerk was a vampire. In which case he was very brave to confront a nosferatu like that.
  • Lane, on 06/20/2008, -0/+11Look out!! He's got a stool!!!
  • S1ngular1ty1, on 06/20/2008, -1/+47This just in: Palm trees are now outlawed due to potential use in armed robberies.
    • 8347, on 06/21/2008, -1/+0Use a palm tree, go to prison is now the slogan!
    • gradivus, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3That would be funny if I didnt think people are that stupid.
  • Dumbledorito, on 06/20/2008, -0/+13Nobody ever suspects the palm tree...
  • Phoenix462, on 06/20/2008, -0/+15Seriously.... who the hell looks at a palm tree and says "Damn... I could sure rob a store with one of those!"
  • stonebone4, on 06/20/2008, -4/+71Palmed robbery....hahaha
  • judgedeath2, on 06/20/2008, -5/+21cocaine is a helluva drug.
    • funkyjunk3, on 06/20/2008, -0/+8This is about all I can think of. Either he's
      1)on drugs, and trying to get money for another hit
      2)mentally unstable
      3)all of the above

    • mrjhmm, on 06/21/2008, -1/+1He's probably on meth.
  • z00k, on 06/20/2008, -16/+5The first green robber.

    This joke is going to go over a lot of peoples heads.
    • LukasKaiser, on 06/20/2008, -0/+17nah we get it... You think we're ***** idiots here?
    • EASwanson, on 06/20/2008, -2/+3If you had just left it at "The first green robber" I would of dugg you up. "This joke is going to go over a lot of peoples heads." THIS IS DIGG the average digger has a higher IQ then the regular population.
    • SirReally, on 06/20/2008, -0/+7Just as the correct use of apostrophes went over yours.
    • funkyjunk3, on 06/20/2008, -2/+2Do you think we're daft, sissy boy?
    • Stephenishere, on 06/20/2008, -1/+3i dont get it.
  • apollo168, on 06/20/2008, -0/+5A little camo would have gone a long way there. He could have hid behind the palm tree and the camera would have never seen him.
  • jmahnn, on 06/20/2008, -1/+18Why did he go with a "Bevis" disguise?
  • whiterice0, on 06/20/2008, -0/+2Don Ho?
    • Ohnodonho, on 06/20/2008, -1/+1Oh no!

      I think you added your part early. "Don ho" comes after "Oh no" not before.
      Donhoohno doesn't make any sense. Now, switch those around and see what you get.
  • mnemy, on 06/20/2008, -0/+2At least use a thorny piece of a palm tree. Those things have a minor poison in them. Or like, a splintery fence post.
  • LewP, on 06/20/2008, -5/+2That was so stupid, pretty sure it was a setup..
  • GoKings, on 06/20/2008, -0/+11Oh how I wish there was audio on those things... "Give me the money! These palm leaves are sharp!"
  • ZiggyPlayedG, on 06/20/2008, -2/+3And then, while the store owners are out in the parking lot kicking his ass, another guy comes in and robs the store.
  • benburned, on 06/20/2008, -1/+12At least he tried...
    • TracerMan, on 06/20/2008, -0/+5Do or do not, there is no try! (at least not with a palm tree).
  • LavaWarrior, on 06/20/2008, -1/+6Thank God it wasn't an apple tree.
    • LeeSoong, on 06/22/2008, -0/+2Guns don't kill people.
      Trees kill people.

      Lobby your congressmen to take trees out of the hands of criminals...
  • Dadude3320, on 06/20/2008, -1/+5Only In Florida.
  • Miamisun, on 06/20/2008, -0/+37Bar Stool > Palm Tree
    • PabloIV, on 06/20/2008, -0/+6The age old question finally answered
    • willynilly, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1No, the palm tree is more likely to become a bar stool.
  • havocjaw, on 06/20/2008, -4/+2Dude... he totally robbed that store.
    • chiefbandit2200, on 06/21/2008, -2/+1He got the stool he was after! Great success!
  • yikiad, on 06/20/2008, -3/+5he would've been much more effective had he put a booger on the end of it...
  • borez, on 06/20/2008, -2/+1Escobar crime family 'branches out'
  • cowboyadam, on 06/20/2008, -0/+6In a world where you can buy a set of kitchen knives for a few dollars at Wal-Mart, what in the hell made this man believe that a palm tree was the best option available for armed robbery.
  • scarz99, on 06/20/2008, -4/+2In before buried for doubleviking
  • Brainmodder, on 06/20/2008, -0/+6WTF? Seriously WTF?
  • Milton88, on 06/20/2008, -2/+0Totally saw that on headline news when it first happened...the reporter was laughing her head off.
  • CatsAreGods, on 06/20/2008, -0/+1Somehow this reminded me of the scene in Pink Flamingos with the sausage guy...
  • Farmer77, on 06/20/2008, -0/+12I thought him putting the shirt over his head was even funnier. He looked like a turtle.
  • Tweets, on 06/20/2008, -1/+4Did he have a date?
  • tr1pw1re, on 06/20/2008, -0/+2that looked pretty sharp, i would have been scared for a paper cut, then post infectious disease.
  • logload, on 06/20/2008, -1/+3that palm tree looked pretty deadly
  • goddessophia, on 06/20/2008, -4/+1what the deuce! This man must be a crack head or something... you know they will do the craziest stuff when they are coming off of the pipe! I need crack... I know, let me go pick up that rubbish and threaten someone with it... the store clerk probably knows him and pays him money to sweep up the drive way!
