Aggie87 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 His neighbor has one of the James Bond style back packs that I always wish would misfire and drive him up into the tree tops. I want one of those!!! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I say go with the Brotzmann loop. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that Brotzmann can make a strong neighbor beg! Quote

BruceH Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Hey, the St. Louis Gateway Arch may have been constructed mainly as a tourist attraction, and in many ways it's silly, but nevertheless I really like it a lot. If you reject the Arch, then you must also reject the Eiffel Tower, and I like that too. Useless but pretty pieces of architecture that actually add something to their home cities' skyline should be applauded. There are so very, very many edifices that add nothing or actively detract. (I like Seattle's Space Needle too.) Quote

It is used as a radio/television broadcasting attennae, covering metropolitan Paris (the same is true of the CN Tower in Toronto and presumably Seattle's Space Needle). Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 Time to amend the subtitle. Quote
Dave James Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 I've never seen the worth of the melon baller myself. I agree; I think those people are disgusting and should stay out of the fields. Someone has been living in Cove, Oregon way too long. Up over and out. Quote
kinuta Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 We get tons of spam advertisements stuffed into our mail box to supplement the daily megadose stuffed in the newspaper. One real baffler I keep seeing is an ad for super high speed VHS tape rewinders. VHS tapes ? ? What ? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 Could I interest you in a high-speed DVD rewinder? No batteries needed! Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) It's fuggin what ?, twenty degrees w/ week old 8" on the ground and my neighbor has been leaf blowing for the past half hour! Paging Eddie Shore! Edited February 12, 2010 by Man with the Golden Arm Quote
papsrus Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hey, I'm a former "chubberoo" having lost 45 pounds in the last few months - just feelin' my oats. ... OK, realizing that the above post is over 6 years old, still that's a hell of an accomplishment. How did you do it?! ... (I know, I know -- stop eating). Quote

Big Al Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Tried a leaf-blower for the first time this past fall.... that's more work than just raking the leaves!!! Quote
Shawn Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Fuck raking leaves. I live in an apartment, in Texas, there's always plenty of landscapers available...I don't even have to think about it. If they start too early in the morning I just yell "IMMIGRATION" out the window and half the complex empties out. (joke) Quote
skeith Posted March 15, 2010 Report Posted March 15, 2010 Jim Alfredson, Sorry to report that your hero has died. According to his NY Times obituary today, actor Peter Graves was involved in attempting to introduce legislation to ban leaf blowers!!! Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 15, 2010 Report Posted March 15, 2010 yeah, but them rakes ain't all what they used to be. Quote
