By attempting to throw the game disc into the console from the couch rather than standing up and putting it in, the lazy high-schooler was licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup.

Idiom; to attempt an ill-advised, mildly unpleasant shortcut to avoid a more complicated process, with a high probability of failure. The idiom itself is an example of such an experience, since licking trees is unpleasant, and even maple trees rarely taste sweet just by licking the bark. The idiom also implies that tried and true methods, rather than blind experimentation, yield better results. Drilling into the trunk of a maple tree with a tap, is the correct way to obtain maple syrup.
"Kicking the car to try and make it start again won't work. That's just licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup, honestly. Let's call a tow truck instead."

The spawn of two mentally-handicapped people who engage in passionate sex, then pass out, to wake up and find they have created offspring. In an effort to preserve the baby until a later date upon which they would be more suitable parents, the child is placed into a large beaker full of maple syrup. The babies are then usually apprehended by law enforcement and sold to chinese dining establishments and served as "pork" in House Special Fried Rice.

A baby whose parents are retarded and have cancer. When the baby is born it is taken away by the government and put into a large glass of syrup. Before the government sells the baby to a chinese restaurant to be served as pork the baby drinks all of the maple syrup, breaks through the glass, and escapes.
