I just think this is too funny not to share with people.
My fiance and I just bought this great little house last month. Just about the time we closed we heard this promo on the radio to win an electric cordless lawnmower, whooo! exciting right? Well we needed one and being the computer nerds we are we got online and registered.
Yesterday he got a call at like 6:30 am that he was the big winner, and he hung up on them cause he thought it was a prank. So they like called back several times and talked with him on the radio which was neat. Then they arranged for the DJ girl to come out, in a bathing suit to mow the lawn with our new mower. Sweet. (except for the bathing suit part, but I'm not a jealous person so I got over it)
So the truck came and set up this morning (KATT 100.5 for all you Okies) at 8 am with big speakers, and I'm thinking great, my new neighboors are gonna hate us, mowing and big speakers at 8am. Anyways, when the DJ's get there they do thier whole little thing and get down to mowing. Well the girl only mowed like 2 feet! And then she said the would do the rest while she was on the radio, (but as soon as they turned off the mic she just left).
Anyways our neighboors started hearing all the comotion and while we were still on air this one guy, who look like he just rolled outta bed after a long night of drunken escapades, come out on to his front porch and just stares at us. Real big guy, dirty clothes, greasy hair, and cig hanging off his bottom lip. It was hillarios, the DJ guy Rick described the whole thing on the air and then makes him come over and talk in his hick ass accent. It was so funny. The guy didn't relize what was going on for like 5 minutes, then all the sudden he wakes up and relizes he was just on the radio.
Okay, maybe you had to be there. Still it was really funny to me, my brother got the whole thing on camera, I should post some of the pictures sometime. I think I'm gonna put some in my wedding slideshow! Crap... we just won a lawnmower.. why couldn't we get lucky with like a new car, or a buncha cash. My life is so.. normal.

The only problem I ever had while mowing the lawn was the secret piles of dog shit in the yard which lurk just beneath the grass line. Everything is going swell and then your nostrils twinge ever so slightly and you're engulfed in a rather fetid smell. "Shit..."

I don't have to mow the lawn anymore because I kept running over pine cones. Apparently you're supposed to walk around the yard and pick up all the things that will dull the blade before you mow, but I like running over pine cones. They grind up and shoot out the side in a most satisfying way. Now Sam mows the grass but at least I don't have to hear the bitching about wrecking the mower.
