  - Pay for your own food! You're saving a fortune on the lawnmower anyway! - David Apr 8, 09:01 4
    - That part of town is literally the only beautiful part. -- nm - kelly Apr 8, 09:02
    - That area is pretty quaint. It's the rest of it that's a s**thole. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 09:02 2
      - All the more reason to spend your free time at Volt. -- nm - David Apr 8, 09:03 1
        
        There's nothing free about Volt -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 09:04
- *shocked* He doesn't say what the bill was. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 08:57 10
  - I'll ask. -- nm - David Apr 8, 08:58 9
    - $121 (including $19 tip). -- nm - David Apr 8, 09:04 8
      - That's pretty reasonable for a four-course "experience" meal -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 09:06 2
        
        I agree but they didn't get alcohol, which always keeps a restaurant bill down. - David Apr 8, 09:07 1
        
        No booze? Lame. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 09:07

        [deleted]
        
        Very acceptable price. We usually do something in that price range twice a year. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 09:07
As far as lawn mowers go, is it better to get one with the bag on the back that collects the grass clippings, or just to get the bagless push mower? -- nm - kelly Apr 8, 08:53 46
- Fuck the mower...get a couple goats. Then you don't have to do anything. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 09:02 1
  - YES!!!!! nm -- nm - Dingnan Apr 8, 09:13
- Why...what did you do to the mower? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 08:58 26
  - I am willing it to DIE so I can get a new one that does not require an extension cord. - kelly Apr 8, 08:59 23
    - Hmm, maybe this should be Slacker Talk's group gift. -- nm - David Apr 8, 09:06
    - you can put anything you want on a registry these days... -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 09:03 2

        Since when is all the dog crap not picked up pre-mow? - kelly Apr 8, 09:06 2
        
        *grabs a ringside seat* nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 09:11 1
        
        heh -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:11
    - Just plan your path, and it shouldn't matter. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:02
    - You can't see it but I'm giving you a standing ovation. Best registry idea I've heard in a long time. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 09:01
    - Paint the house and fix the car while you're at it too, honey! ;) -- nm - Will Hunting si Apr 8, 09:00 7
      - Pfft...that's amatuer stuff. I want that patio installed by the time I get home or it's the back of me hand for her. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 09:01 5
        
        Try convincing her that it's all martial arts training -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 09:03
        
        Plus a cold refreshing beer and a full rack of ribs -- nm - Don Homer Apr 8, 09:02 3
        
        Exactly. I don't even know why she's on the internet; that's time that could be spent cleaning. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 09:03 2
        
        I'm so lazy/exhausted/uninspired I was trying to get points for filling out our census forms. -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 09:05
        
        Shut the fuck up. - kelly Apr 8, 09:04
      - I painted a few interior walls 2 weeks ago...does that count? -- nm - kelly Apr 8, 09:01
  - Happy birthday! -- nm - kelly si Apr 8, 08:59
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:58
- bagless with mulching blade -- nm - decline Apr 8, 08:57 2
  - Yup. Mulcher all the way. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Apr 8, 09:20
  - We have a mulching blade; we have a bagger as well if we hook it up. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 08:58
- does he have a mani-pedi appointment while you shop for lawn mowers? - crash davis Apr 8, 08:57
- Bagless (as long as it mulches/shreds it up as it goes). -- nm - Don Homer Apr 8, 08:56 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - when I was a 'scaper this is how we always did it - unless dealing with really tall grass or leaves -- nm - decline Apr 8, 09:00
    - Yes. Though my preferred method is to pay someone to do it for me. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Apr 8, 08:59
- I would vote for the bag. It's a pain in the ass to have to empty it X times during a mow, but the lawn looks 1000% better without the loose grass. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 08:55 3
  - depending on the mower you don't have a lot of loose grass with a bagless -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 08:58 2
    - My mower mulches and what not as well, but when I mowed without the bag, the lawn didn't look nearly as clean. - Shaun Apr 8, 08:59
    - depends on how long you let your lawn get too :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:58
- depends on who you ask and which mower you are talking about. - sycor Apr 8, 08:55
- I like it with the bag, you can then either use it or not but you have the option. (great if it gets really long to be able to bag) -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:55 2
  - depending on the size of your lawn a push one might work too. No costs (electricity or gas) but manual labour -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:56 1
    - and the manual labour could be a plus too as lots of good outdoor exercise -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:59
- well, if you get the bag one, Will can eat it as a salad when you are done. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 08:54

grrr. me annoyed that the 250GB xbox harddrive doesnt come out till the end of the month - Jovian Apr 8, 08:46 3
- I wish they would allow just hooking up your own harddrive. They want too much for theirs. -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 08:56 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah I want to hook up a TB drive. :) -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 08:58

  - all three answers above this post are preferable to reality. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 08:47
TFox: your critique only makes sense to me if he is actually torturing and killing women...which he isn't. -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 08:44 1
- I don't really follow why that would be the litmus test. Look, I understand that violence is used as entertainment all the time. I do. - TFox Apr 8, 08:48

      - Does she make a good living as an actress? -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 08:44
- Do I want to know the origin of this post? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Apr 8, 08:38 2
  - sure. art collection posted on B2 by JackDawson -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:39 1
    - Jack certainly is an odd boy. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Apr 8, 08:41
