(sorry about the soft focus …)
if fisher price could get together with briggs and stratton they could come up with a mower as good as this one. you’re looking at the bottom of the line from bolens. the cheapest mower you can buy at lowe’s. assembly involves bolting on the plastic wheels and filling it with gas. the ‘three position height selector’ equates to which of the three holes you put the wheels though when you bolt them on. seriously, you have to take all the wheels off and reinstall them to adjust the mowing height. basically, what you have here is a briggs and stratton engine bolted to a tin can with plastic wheels. there was a huge sticker on the bottom that said ‘not for sale in california!’. is that a good thing? bad? i don’t know. they’re flying off the rack in louisiana …
oddly enough …
started on the first pull out of the box. extremely lightweight design (i.e. dirt cheap construction quality) equates to mowing ease! this baby ain’t self propelled, but it mowed easier than any self propelled mower i’ve ever used. got the whole yard cut, front and back, in about 35 minutes. the pain in the ass was raking leaves and picking up all the sticks and shit in the back.
earlier in the week, i bought the strongest poison ivy killer you can buy – a product from the good people at round up – and set my sights on destruction. got a little one gallon pressure sprayer and went out with my gloves and goggles to fucking annihilate the poison ivy growing along the back fence. it has never felt so good to spray down mother earth with carcinogenic toxins. seriously, i’m gonna have a party when that shit dies. no more poison ivy for me, baby. if that shit would have spread to my johnson, it might have been the end of the line for your old friend kc.
poison ivy … {sigh} … is getting better, but is still problematic. some of the larger areas don’t itch anymore; they ache like all hell. it’s like i have one huge bee sting on my right forearm. sux. sux sux sux sux sux. god it sux.
if that spray works, i might have to send round up a christmas card this year.

you gotta get rid of that rash and soon… cuz apparently you’ve got some intellectual chick mojo.
okay, here’s why: i was lurking on ratemyprofessor as i desperately want someone to notate my entry with a hot tamale (alas…i am still only “supportive,” not hot).
despondent, i looked over at your ratings– and i quote:
“Prof Casper is cool, but his stock went up a notch after i realized he was the dude i saw at chilli’s a couple of semesters ago with Prof. Norwood and this drop dead gorgeous black girl. i thought he was with prof Norwood but some latino guy came and was with her, so i guess he was with the babe. made me think that studying=hot chicks.”
who needs a stinking hot tamale? just keep that round up spray and you’re good.
unfucking believable … i think the real moral of the story is that i should hang out at chili’s more often.
oh, yeah, and my hotness rating … zero point zero.
and your hotness rating is always off the charts in my book …
seriously, kc.
the longer this blog goes on, the closer i get to coming down and haulin’ your ass to makanda to mold you into the employee blooming valleys landscaping has been needing for years (assuming you can work through a hangover better than the undergrads i’ve found at siu).
willingness to purchase lawn and garden equipment-check.
disdain for, and ability to kill, undesirable and/or noxious species-check. (although you should kill, or at least identify said
species before rolling around in it)
strange affinity for humidity, sometimes, but not always leading to nakedness-check.
hotness demonstrated by company at local eatery-check.
dude, you’re hired-enough with the ‘learning’-how ’bout a real man’s job.
btw, did the witch hazel dry that shit up or what?
hooch, let’s talk medical plans … or is the medical plan ‘let’s hope obama wins and can actually come through with national coverage?
witch hazel has helped … it’s all on the wane now. still kinda funky, but better. that was hell.
btw, got some tips on jazz fest. there’s another festival in lafayette the first weekend of jazz fest called the international festival. supposed to be the sleeper … free, you can bring in your own beer, great music, crafts. jazz fest seems pretty crazy, but fun. don’t know much about the merch situation at either, but look into the international festival.
I may have underestimated your CSUN students. I figured they weren’t very bright, but they got your hotness rating right on the button. Must be some kind of math geniuses.
they were obviously guys …
