Wise Gardening

The other weekend, I picked up a very useful volume for 50 cents at a yard sale. I loved the information and illustrations. Its pretty surprising how little gardening as changed in many ways. I feel like a slacker now that I see that mowing the lawn should be done wearing a tie.

I usually trim the hedgereows in a tuxedo, but only after 6.

Mr. Dandy,

Grass stains on a white linen dinner jacket = torment.

Anon 4:42,

Garden implement humor is a little-utilized humor niche. Let's see if I can make some hay...

Q. Why did the NC State Agriculture student get kicked out of college?
A. He dropped trowel in front of the dean.

How much do you think this man in the tie would charge for lawn mowing machine?

I wear a beer helmet when mowing the lawn.

If I ever got the Trailer Trad T- shirt that I suggested I'd wear that to mow the lawn. Also to the IGA. Hell , I'd wear it to the Beaver & Otter Society meetings; never did like that rule about bow ties anyway. Size XXL.

Dude, a "Low Rent & Top Drawer" T-shirt would be almost as cool as the Dinosaur Jr. shirt I got at CBGB in 2004.

Russian Trader,

Why? Do you have to do a little mowing around the "dachas?" I know that one could get ticks during the long walk down to your Black Sea yacht if the grass is not carefully clipped.

Train,

Ah, Dinosaur Junior. -One of the most underrated bands of the last 20 years in my opinion.

I think that they should be considered a grundge band, don't you? Nearly on the level of Nirvana, in fact.
