Lawn Mower Problems
So, I beat the crap out of my riding lawn mower for not working. I thrashed it pretty good. It was stuck with the blades half engaged and would not start. First off, I lifted the mower up, on one side and let it drop a few times, that didn't work, then I tried ramming the lever back and fourth like a thousand times a second, that didn't work. I laid on my side and started grabbing at stuff underneath, pulling and twisting and more thrashing. Lying on the ground winded, I laid my head on the mower deck and tried to re-gain some control, I laid there for a couple of minutes, then remembered my smaller push mower. Not the one without the engine, that one is for assholes. So I gassed up the little bugger and that kept conking out, after cleaning the air filter it started to purr. By this time though, I was fully enraged, mowing more robot-like than human. The turning point in my mood was, while mowing a small field of daisies, the song "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" started playing in my head. The combination of mowing down actual flowers while that song was playing was pure joy.
