Breaking Bats Before They Become Bats?
From Michael Geffner's Q&A with Kyle Farnsworth -
What's the worst thing you did as a kid?
[Farnsworth:] I cut down my neighbor's trees with a steak knife (he laughs again, uncontrollably). I was around 8 and I got in a lot of trouble.
I can just see young Kyle now - wearing coveralls and carring a sling shot in his back pocket...and weidling a steak knife in his hand....
To quote A. Bunker, reading a comic book: "Ha ha ha. Oh that Dennis. He really is a menace. Such a rotten kid I love him."
The funny part is that "The Farns" went on to attend "Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College" later in life. Sounds like Kyle has a thing for trees.

I've cut down many, many trees in my life -- with axes and chainsaws. How the hell do you cut down a tree with a steak knife?
Another great quote in that interview:
Q: What turns you on?
A: Killing a nice big deer.

The turn off answer was just as telling!

What does he dig trenches with - a teaspoon?
