For me, surely that of the Aspen tree.

    wtf... I've lived next to and climb sycamores most of my entire life before 16 or so. To me that is not sycamore but hey ho...

    ahhh, american sycamore - not actually what we (I certainly) call sycamores - is what I suspect that is - might be wrong.

    Well, if you are not going to take my very serious thread seriously, this is a very fine bark

    What we call sycamore is actually a species of maple. The septic sycamore is a kind of plane - related to the London plane I believe.

    And if that doesn't win me 'most boring post' at this year's Webbies, nothing will.

    I should get royalties on all these silly "Most handsome [insert thing rhyming with 'bike' or a bit like it in sound] out there" threads. Sigh, another missed opportunity...

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Naaah, the royalities should go to the first person who started silly copycat threads. The originator of a thread that gets picked on should just feel mildly honoured!
