I just got a Toro 20016 as a gift. It is a 6.5HP, self-propelled, recycling (mulching) lawn mower. Plus, best of all, it is RED!



It is very nice to use, very user friendly, very classy.

Now I just need to go get a weed whacker.

What do you cut your grass with?

Except the one I cut my grass with is green.

25 hp I think.

Mowing the lawn sucks.

I once used this to cut my lawn:

It was the best mower I've ever used.

Normally I use one like this:

Is giving a man a lawnmower as a gift the same as giving a woman a vacuum cleaner?

Some gift.

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

You must not know many women. The stupid overpriced Dyson is one thing that a lot of girls seem to want for their weddings, and there's also that other brand of really expensive vacuums they dig... kirbys or something?

Whatever. I have a dirt devil. It sucks a lot of dirt. It cost $49.

Actually, I suppose I would buy one of these:



It's called Constellation, built by hoover. The air outlet was underneath the thing and it had a stiff vinly skirt, so it used the exhaust to 'hover' on smooth surfaces. How badass is that? A space age jetsons style vacuum that can hover!

Yeah, I've got one of those. OK, you got me, I've got two of those. Did you know that they actually come with an attachment for giving your scalp a massage? Seriously. The video is hilarious - little lady vacuuming up then taking a well-earned break giving herself a scalp massage before her master comes home.

That is really messed up. I wonder if they have any other 'attachments' that us men are never told about. Maybe there's a reason women like their kirbies so much.
