<Mike_Wx> i had a battery operated reel mower when i was a kid. death on wheels, damn that thing was fun
<Mike_Wx> it was a standard reel push mower but the blades turned via a big-ass electric motor mounted on the top of it
<Mike_Wx> can you say "removed from market for safety reasons"
<pthree> it fired lawn-darts and could only make left turns
<pthree> we think the market wasn't mature enough for the product
<Mike_Wx> heh pretty much, it was awesome though :)
<pthree> we'll add lasers and bring it out during the next war
<pilot518> yeah. lawn darts
<pilot518> that was just clever toss this big ass metal dart into the air and don't get hurt
<Mike_Wx> they're coming back this spring i've heard
<Mike_Wx> they have somehow made them safer
<pilot518> nerf?
<Mike_Wx> i dunno, i just heard on the radio they were making a comeback
<pilot518> interesting
<Mike_Wx> i like the idea. weed out the stupid kids. darwinish at work.
<pilot518> heh
<Mike_Wx> right up there with slip-n-slide
<pilot518> heh, I never liked those
<Mike_Wx> me either
<Mike_Wx> our yard was too lumpy~
<pthree> i preferred to slip and slide holding a lawn dart |
