In the key of John Deere
I wear the iPod when mowing the lawn and weed-eating. I discovered that I can actually play lead weed-eater for quite a few songs. I’m sure my neighbors were wondering what the Hell I was doing.

Hmm.
I have this fight with my wife over her IPod. It violates my first principle of “Always be alert”.
In any case, I am not married to you. Do what you want. π

Jesse James Dupree played lead chainsaw, so why not weed-eater?

As for the always be alert, I follow the same principal, it’s why I rarely drink. I hate wearing headphones because it shoves me into my own little world. I always laugh when I see people walking across campus wearing headphones, or people out for a run. It’s voluntarily lopping off a sense that’s critical for situational awareness.
However ear protection should be worn and usually the damn thing is still loud enough with muffs on people can yell at you and you won’t hear them. Alertness when doing yard work for me is keeping my head on a swivel while working.

My Troy Built weed-eater is in the key of B

yeah, because the iPod is what’s affecting alertness and not the sound of weed eaters and mowers.

There’s a really neat short horror film (in Japanese) that shows a high school girl on the subway. She’s listening to an ipod. She gets off at a station to transfer, and sits on a bench lost in her music and cell phone. Behind her you see the normal commuters suddenly turn and start running away in panic. The guy beside her on the bench gets up and runs. Some people running past have blood on them as they stagger by. She looks up just in time to see the huge guy with a machete, and then you see her ipod and cell phone falling on the platform, and a spray of blood. Fin.

This post is useless without video π

Reminds me of the story of the commuter on the subway. He had a bout of flatulence and was trying to be discreet by timing his emissions to the music.
After a bit of this, he remembered he was listening to his iPod. π

This radio station has no problem with you playing air guitar…..just don’t do it in the shower, it looks like you’re…….you know!

Noise is a distraction you tune out. Music is a distraction you tune in to.

If you were to poisonously kill all of that stupid grass, and replace it with stuff which never grows higher than two or three inches above the ground, you could prolly avoid doing so much weed-eating, and all of yer lawn-mowing. Lawns are a racket. The people who sell grass seeds are the same people who sell lawn mowers.
Fuck all lawns. Sorry, I’m condemned to live in Southern FL for the nonce, and the batshit crazy damnyankee midwestern golf trash who run this county are the worst lawnatics I have ever seen, or even heard of, or read about, anywhere in the world. Real Florida people understand that your lawn is SUPPOSED to get all brown in the dry season, what passes for Winter here. Fucking yankees. Yes, if you are from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, or maybe Kentucky you are a fucking yankee as far as I’m concerned.
Fortunately, we don’t get too many actual Massholes and New Dorkers here, and sadly we don’t get nearly enough Pennsylvanians, Iowans, and other more reasonable friendly northern folks.
There is exactly one dedicated chili restaurant in this town. It’s name is “Skyline Chili.” That’s like from Cincinnati, of all places. Cincinnati chili is not chili, it is bad spaghetti.
Jtg,here, Georgia native whose Dad’s family were resident in this country since before the Revolution, and in Georgia since 1830 or so. Mom and her Marine brothers were from Mississippi, arriving there at a similarly long time ago.
I am, of course, willing to make an exception for Roberta X, she being ‘way kewl, and all.
