Re: You Want To Paint My What?

Way to go, Billy! Painting the lawn? What a waste of time and money! I stopped using all chemicals a couple of years ago and am digging up my lawn a bit at a time. Feels so good!

You'll have to practice that right hook on someone else.

P.S. It'd be really nice to be able to click through to the websites/blogs of people who've commented here.
