Edited on Mon May-12-08 11:21 AM by Rambis
I don't have time to do one then the other so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone?

1. So long as you stay in your own yard and notify your
local fire department/EMT service. Game on.

10. Thank you all
I don't have the cup holder but I think the hat will work with two bottle of Smithwicks or the Guinness cans. I think I will start in the front that way if the back looks like hell no one will know.

Cheers!

12. I love drinking beer while mowing...
It makes ordering the lawn hands that do the work a lot easier, as I sit up high on the deck and shout orders in esperanto.

:P

13. I used to work with someone who was missing some toes.
He said it happened in a lawn mower accident.

I imagine beer was involved.

20. A little beer it's your toes.
A lot of beer it's your fingers.

And then there are those who dance.

17. We had a neighbor when I was young who would drink a beer
for every lap. Small yard, but still...:)

21. As long as you're not driving a riding lawn mower.
That could be considered driving with an open container. :)

22. My advice: Stay in your own yard.

Or this could happen to you:

23. It's REQUIRED. You get extra beers if you BBQ after the yard is done.
I don't make the rules, I just follow them.
