Wayyyyy cooler than the submarine thing.
Posted by: Drew | June 20, 2005 at 07:47 AM
The Gyro is optional. Does this option come with a hula skirt?
"...its mission is to deliver fast straight lines and pleasure of the strong kind." Hhmmm. I might have to invest. I like pleasure of the strong kind. None of that weak pleasure for me, no sireebobby.
Posted by: casey | June 20, 2005 at 07:48 AM
Maybe Drew, but does the submarine provide pleasure of the strong kind?
Posted by: casey | June 20, 2005 at 07:51 AM
For that kind of money, I can buy a new J.D. (the green and yellow brand) lawn tractor, for which you can buy extra attachments, thus making the tractor much more versatile. (i.e. more toys) Plus, my genius engineer husband can mount a jet engine on it and make it go really fast!

Dave, does your RC sub have a pool cleaner attachement?
Posted by: Russell | June 20, 2005 at 08:13 AM
Throw in a juicer attachment and I'm sold!
I was just recently in Hollywood on a case and a friend of mine bullied me into drinking wheat grass juice.
Condensed lawn.
Not good.
California is a silly place.

All your pleasure of the strong kind are belong to us.

If someone got one of these, please contact me and let me know what your stud fees would be to let it mate with my grill.

I thought the fun part for guys was sitting high on the "ride" mower and mentally playing "king of the Hill", or the lawn as the case may be!
Posted by: Eleanor | June 20, 2005 at 09:24 AM
The "fun part" for guys is pretending that you can hear the plaintive cries of the individual blades of grass as you mow them down, shred them into mulch, and step over their dejected corpses. You can also pretend to hear some of them begging for mercy as you cruelly press forward, and hear others in far parts of the lawn sobbing, asking for help as the mower relentlessly closes in on them...Other guys do that too, right?

$2,300 for a lawn mower ... ?!?!?!?!
That's worse than $18,000 for a bar of soap!!!!!
Just so a guy can sit in a chair and let his lard-bottomed butt get bigger, and bigger ...
Oh ... it's an invesment plan for his retirement ... build the butt, sell the soap, get rich, retire ... (and play with a remote-control lawn mower ... it sounds like a viscious circle ...)

"Sometimes pure passion serves as a motivation force to implement a gyro into a lawn mower."
This passion must lead to "pleasure of the strong kind."

Hello? Anybody out there?
Posted by: Sarah J | June 19, 2006 at 11:56 PM
That's enough heavy lifting for one night. And with that, I'm really going to bed now. Goodnight, Sarah!
Posted by: KDF | June 20, 2006 at 12:32 AM
all kinds of morning and breakfast-type goodies.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 12:57 AM
Whoa...this is an evil plot to confuse those of us who are doddering into our twilight years: she moved us to June 20 of LAST YEAR. I'm SO confused! However, all those breakfast goodies look like they might restore me, so I'll stick around. Maybe what I need is some Folger's from the MB; then I can spend the rest of the night batting away human(oid) sunbeams.
OK...Now that I know where my life will resume in the morning, I can go to bed. Sweet dreams (in the modern, classical, or archaic language of your choice) to all Kilties, great and small.

I've been writing tonight!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Alfred!!!
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 01:31 AM
That cake looks delicious.
And the pink everywhere reminds me of the Argentine Presidential Palace. They call it Casa Rosada, but my dad never spoke Spanish to me. So I knew it as PinkHouse.
This is how I explained all the problems in Argentina. The Pink House.
It is good that you are organized and cleanly. And that you can cook like none other. Now to go talk to Beave... You know... What Wally used to call his little brother.
Onto funnier stuff. I like plain blue jello.
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 01:34 AM
with fishies? My cousin made blue jello with Sweedish fish in it for Sunday dinner once. It was her turn to bring a "salad," I brought the "green salad," made with lettuce and cucumbers and tomatoes and stuff.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 01:38 AM
My roommate's boyfriend bought a ring today. She doesn't know about it though, and I'm not allowed to tell. It's really pretty.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 01:41 AM
I am Alerigic to something in Salads so I can never enjoy "The Green one"
For this same reason Shredded Carrots and Lime Green Jello are never to be eaten by me.
It amazes me to think that I got Swedish fish for the first time during my mission. It seems like I should have had some befor.
My b-day cake is dirt with those jelley worms.
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 01:42 AM
Holy Crap a ring???
Room mates go so fast
It is hard to believe that in a years time I will probably be an uncle.
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 01:47 AM
I usually have cheesecake or apple pie for my birthday. I don't like regular cake. It gives me the hiccups. Any time I eat dry foods without something to drink I get the hiccups, stuff like rice, bread, cake, and pancakes (those are the worst, I hiccup even with something to drink.) I only know one other person this happens to: my dad. It's kind of like plucking my eyebrows making me sneeze, except I don't know anyone else that happens to.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 01:47 AM
They're getting married in November. I have another roommate who's probably getting married next April (her LDB lives in Maryland and she's moving to DC in Sept) I had another former roommate have a baby (boy) last week. What's with my former roommates all having baby boys?! No one's had a girl yet, but 6 have had boys.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 01:50 AM
My mother can make this great Boston Brown Bread. It is steam cooked so it is very moist and sweet. She discovered it when our oven didn't work.
You must have a nerve in your eyebrows that should be in your nose.
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 01:51 AM
So it seems that the room mate and her boyfriend are talking? and because of this SarahJ is sort of busy?
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 01:59 AM
*is confused*
My roommate who's getting a ring is asleep. My roommate with the LDB is on the phone (like always, I never see her not on the phone) They're on the same cell phone plan (a family plan!) and have free minutes when they call each other, so they're on the phone whenever they're not at work.
I don't know how this would make me busy, though.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 02:04 AM
I did have to go to the door. Someone was checking to see if any of us CA girls had a blue honda with the lights left on. (none of us have honda's)
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 02:09 AM
Well you hadn't replied for a while and I guessed.
I have no way of actually knowing what goes on in your house.
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 02:10 AM
I would be afraid if you somehow knew what was going on here.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 20, 2006 at 02:15 AM
Oh great, your a member of a cult. I knew it.
:)
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 02:22 AM
>Wow
Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 02:25 AM
I got really hyper about an hour ago and started listened to music, but now I'm listening to Editors and it's making me tired. Actually, I think I'm tired and the music is too energetic for me, it's making me feel exhausted. Time for me to go to bed.
Goodnight!!

Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2006 at 02:41 AM
4:30 a.m. bed check...Yep, kilties all seem to be accounted for and either sleeping peacefully or otherwise quietly occupied...couple of blankets kicked off; one pillow on floor; somebody mumbling "wow" in his sleep; one or two worrying pointlessly about something that won't seem like much of a problem in the morning.
*replaces pillow; tucks in blankets (but not too tight); supplies an emergency back-up teddy bear; tiptoes out, closing door quietly, being careful to lift it up a bit on its hinges so it doesn't give that annoying squeak; pads softly back to bed, yawning*
Posted by: Betsy | June 20, 2006 at 05:45 AM
Mmmm..... Mornin', Kilt-by-nighters.
I'll a cup of "of", some "akf" and Sarah's pancakes, please. Thanks!
(If that "ing" lady can do that in the morning, then I refuse to believe there is mere coffee in that cup.)
Betsy, you shouldn't have turned on the nightlight. It's frightening to see Alfred when one wakes up in the middle of the night.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 20, 2006 at 06:17 AM
mornin' kilties - thanks for leavin' a trail!
*falls onto nearest couch*
*snuggles up with Betsy's emergency back-up teddy bearand pulls blanket over head*
