The Lawn Update to End All Lawn Updates.

Ever since I won your hearts with my post on how hard it is to mow the lawn literally two of you have written to ask how my lawn is doing.

The truth is, my lawn is doing incredibly well.

Ever since I realized this was not the lawnmower:


Turns out I was trying to mow my lawn with a giant block of concrete attached to some metal pipes. Today, I decided this is a terrible way to mow the lawn. I also grew curious about what magical tool my parents had left me.

I called and asked my Dad what the concrete thing with metal pipes is.

"That's a lawn mower, son."

"Could I talk to Mom?"

"Mom, what is the concrete thing in my garage?."

"It is a wheel. Your great grandfather invented it."

"Wow. Like a piece of history."

"That's right. Just don't try to mow your lawn with it. Your Dad did once, and killed all the grass. The neighbors were ruthless."

I agree with alecia, let a goat haul that thing around. you're far too important a man to waste time on menial labour.

abc's,
I wish I could believe you about the new job,but I went by Carrrrribou when you said there would be free coffee. There was no such thing. I had to drink what I hope was water from a puddle.

This has nothing to do with your grandfather's invention that my black grandfather actually invented first even though your grandfather has been taking all the credit for all these years.
But, in the Jolie post how come no one noticed President Palmer casually hanging with his hand in his pocket behind Jolie?
It's a Sign! No, no, no, I got it all wrong, it's actually a message to ME!

I have reason to believe that at least two of your commentators are in continual states of intoxication.
