It took me 2.5 hours to mow my lawn, and I figured I'd take a break...
and read DU before going back out and tending to the weeds.

So I come in here, and what do I see?

Same old crap.

Same old fucking crap.

See you later.

3. You're using "mow my lawn"...
as a euphemism for a bikini wax, aren't you?

5. Dang - either you have a HUGE lawn or a now empty 12 pack!
Or both - beer and lawn mowing go together "like peas and carrots".

9. I bet it does!
It would "take" me all day if I was drinking beer. Then, I'd probably end up sticking my hand in the rotating blade.

13. Then you can sue the manufacturer for not putting a warning label on it!
"WARNING: Do not stick your hand in the rotating blades after drinking a half case of Miller Lite"

Obvious negligence.

12. If I could mow half my yard in 2.5 hours
I'd be a happy camper.

I lived in an apartment my entire adult life and decided that when I bought a house I wanted a big yard. Clearly, there was something bad wrong with/in my head. During the Spring, if I spend an hour every day sitting on my diesel Kubota (one of the best investment that I every made) I can just keep up with it.

14. No mowing required of our naturalized yard. Just think how much time you could spend on DU...

16. You need to seriously consider converting some of that lawn into woodlot or meadow.

Seriously.
