I finished Fargo finally. It was a very dark movie. Overall I liked it but I'm in no hurry to see it again and I'm not sure that it's a movie I would want on a mythical desert island.
Speaking of chippers, I rented one today from Home Depot. It was a complete disaster. Not only was chipping my pile of brush slow, the engine kept dying, and eventually the teeth of the thing got so meshed that I couldn't restart it. (Thankfully I didn't have to pay for the rental, since I only got about 1/20th of my project done before I gave up and returned the machine.)
Today's experience leads me to believe that the chipper scene in Fargo was not realistic.

Yes indeed! Size really does matter when it comes to chippers. I used one this past spring that took 2 inch diameter branches, though I did need to yank them back out if they were too long, so that the engine wouldn't die. But it was a lot of fun. Whatever testosterone I've got floating around was beating on the door to get out.
