I want to put a bullet in the next MF'er that fires up a leafblower.

[DS1]

Electric or gas.
:nuke:
End rant.

[DS1]

1. And then I'll gut his barking dog!

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[GingerSnaps]

8. Why don't you seek his dog on him?

:shrug:

[exJW]

2. Thank you

What the hell is wrong with a broom? I mean, if you're so anal that you have to have all organic material kept off of all inorganic material, you probably have the broom handle handy anyway!

[DS1]

4. People around here have the notion that raking leaves

really means pushing them onto the road for an even re-distribution.

It makes me want to scream hearing the whine of leafblowers all day, it's like an 8 hour trip to the dentist.

[jdj]

30. one more invention to support the BFEE

I hear they want twice as many snomobiles in yellowstone too.

they're making that oil money while they can.

3. be at my house tomorrow morning

around 10 so you can put me out of my misery :7

[smurfygirl]

5. everyday my neighbor cuts her grass

and then has to get out her leaf blower. She is obsessed with the grass. Not one blade can be higher than another. It drives me crazy! And she always starts at about 8 am when you have still got sleepy's in your eyes. She cuts a little then goes inside. Then comes out an hour later and cuts more. It would drive you mad.

[DS1]

6. I would be already sharpening my shovel to build a punji pit

( and cover it with leaves )

[matcom]

7. you'll need to borrow my blower for that

;)

[DS1]

11. I thought I'd just feed Remy a few pounds of beans

and hold him backwards...

Kinda like this

[dweller]

9. .

[Endangered Specie]

10. Try shooting the leaf blower.

What the fuck is wrong with a goddamn rake?!?!?

[DS1]

12. Too many lawsuits

:scared:

[Endangered Specie]

13. If its a gas...

in the night, sneak in and put 108 NASCAR octane gasoline in it...


BOOOM! :nuke:

[DS1]

14. Now you're talking

:-)

[Endangered Specie]

15. Plant some russian landmines in his yard...

the ones that jump about 1.5 meters into the air before exploding...

antifreeze for the dog.

(I am evil today arent I?) :evilgrin: :grr:

[DS1]

16. no antifreeze

Not enough yelping for the satisfaction I demand!

[Endangered Specie]

17. Well, you are one tough customer!

Cyanide bone? BB gun? taser? lol


btw the mines that jump are called Bounding or "Bouncing Betty" mines. - a little historical info, bc I forgot the name of them in the other post.

[DS1]

20. I know what you meant

:-)

Nasty little fuckers, those jumping mines.

18. back to back leafblowers here today

It was so bad I had to get out my orange earplugs and wear them. I actually had to leave my house part of the time.

My town councilman told me that leafblowers are the number one complaint they get at city hall.

The idea that they can be run constantly in the fall is an assault on our quality of life. Each household should be able to have them removed by a blower twice in the fall season. They should have to buy a permit for this, say something like $50. That would minimize their use, at least, and somewhat compensate into the town coffers for the misery of listening suffered by the residents of the town.

The preferred method for dealing with leaves, however, should be to chop them with a mulching mower when the lawn is being mowed. Leaves are meant to disintegrate, form humus and feed the plants and trees. Carrying them away does a disservice to the landscape.

19. Since we are joking around here,

don't forget to smear the punji sticks with excrement. And some quail egg sized pieces of rock in the neighbors yard is also good -- just make sure that your car is in the garage for when them f-ers come zooming out. (Just kidding of course.)

And pieces of spring in some meat will take care of that dog. (He'll howl like a mfer for a while -- but it will pass.) (Just kidding of course.) Myself, I scream obscenities at the top of my lungs whenever I hear a dog barking in the neighborhood. And strangely enough it generally seems to work.

I get back at the leaf blower guys by using my chainsaw (headphones and mp3s) when they are sitting outside.. it works best when they have company.

Of course, it seems that none of my neighbors would dream of coming over and complaining to me about my behavior... funny about that, seems that they think that I am some kind of dangerous gun nut on the verge of going postal -- I wonder how that came about.

I am a regular f-ing Caspar Milquetoast of course.

[DS1]

27. Springs in the ground beef

I used to think I'd heard it all. Wow.

Just.




Wow. :wow:

[Skittles]

21. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED

and if you don't work third shift DS1 - I don't want to hear it!!!!!

[DS1]

24. I'm a college student. It's the same thing.

:-)

[underpants]

22. What about solar powered..............man

Natural gas?

[underpants]

23. A leaf blower........in New England?

No one expected THAT!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. Leaf blowers--AAAAARRRRGGHHH!

They were everywhere in my Portland neighborhood, and I could close my windows, turn the stereo up, and STILL HEAR THEM! :grr:

If there is any useless, pointless, annoying device for lazy-asses that I would uninvent, it's leaf blowers!

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. YES! Truly worthy of uninvention!

No need for the goddamned things.

Or force them to come with mufflers.

They make chainsaws seem positively relaxing.

[Padraig18]

26. Let me echo that sentiment.

:nuke:

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. DON'T SHOOT! It's my vibrator!

The muffler fell off!

[miss_kitty]

31. At least the gas ones get the shit blown

The electric ones don't blow for shit. Yep. I like me a nice little B&S two stroke engine, purring like a kitten. And don't even get me started on electric string trimmers-they just bruise the grass.

And leaves should NEVER be Blown in the street. They should be blown into the beds. Or, into piles and hauled. A person who is good with a leaf blower (like me :)) should have an average yard do in a few minutes-much faster than raking. No blowing in the wind.

Sorry 'bout the noise. :D
