A tree falls in the forest and Lou Donaldson mows the lawn

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

OK, so I had two windows open at the same time. I was thinking of sending one of Couw's Lou Donaldson gifs to a friend, and reviewing them again, while I waited for Organissimo pages to come up on the other window. I keep the pages not quite algned, so I can see when the O page comes up. So I switched to O, when the page came up; read some stuff; then hit the visible bit of the other window. And there was Lou, mowing his lawn again.

And the thought struck me

Was he mowing the lawn the whole time I was reading that thread?

Or does he only do it when I'm looking at him?

Answers please - one of the great philosophical problems of mankind may be solved

I think he only does it as a figment of Chewy's imagination.

He's Lou "Friggin'" Donaldson! He never stops...ever!

Since you had two windows open at the same time could you hear Lou cutting (he is "green" with that push version) and more importantly could you smell that freshly mown lawn?

No, I had the sound turned off and had been eating curry.

Low Donaldson mow the g.d. yard when Lou Donaldson want to mow the g.d. yard, dammit.

[Dave James]

I'm in over my head when it comes to the possible metaphysical aspects of the now you see him, now you don't Lou, but if I had to guess, I'd say he's just working up an appetite for a good sammich.

Up over and out.

Why isn't the album called "Lou's Lawn"?

Furthermore, why isn't there an album called "Lou's Clues"?

[papsrus]

Or "You Snooze, You Lou's" ?

I used to use one of those push mowers to cut the lawn when I was a kid.

They're great. My grandfather had one and let me push it sometimes when I was a kid. They're not all that hard to push, really, and they don't pummel your ears or pollute the air like a gas-powered mower.
