I didn't mean to start a firestorm of comments regarding wood pellets... 
it was a rather oblique way of suggesting that Frosty take revenge upon 
the offending tree in a most satisfying manner.
Reducing the wood fibers to pellets requires great force and heat to 
fuse the wood into pellets. Seem like sweet revenge... Probably not as 
much fun as metal bashing, but there are many forms of stress relief
