You guys remember our friendly neighborhood emower, right? Looks like he got a spiffy upgrade!

Copy & paste this:
Little rolling house on the prairie!
What? no AC?
the guy down the block has a twin like this with a snow plow on the front.

They painted it and turned it ~180 degrees, though.
Day 148 – At last, my escape is assured! I have managed to construct a standard-issue deathmobile utilizing a riding mower and some plywood! Now to make my horribly bloody and high-speed escape!. They’ll never get me now. I was worried about running out of fuel till I realized that the beans I’ve been living off of for the last several months are providing a perfect source of methane gas…
Day 149 (or is it 502? Honestly, who’s keeping track at this point?)
Just when I thought I was done with them for good, the zombie stories have once again reared their ugly heads and invaded the site. I watched with sadness as the joke went from funny and original, to old and lame, to dead-as-a-doornail and now, like the zombies themselves, to become the walking dead. What could possibly be worse?
A Photoshopped zombie yelling “First!”
I think people will let go of the zombies when they’re ready. Yeah, it’s been going on awhile, but still, I think it serves a purpose, if only for dreaming up a reason for half of the “inventions” on this site when no other explanation makes sense either. Not all comments here of any nature are totally worthy of a guffaw, but I like it when people decide to participate. It makes the blog more fun. Personally, I enjoy the spirit of the zombie saga, even after all this time, and it seems like a lot of others (obviously not all) do as well. It keeps popping up, so there apparently is loyalty to it. I say, Zombie Up if the mood strikes you. Life is short…unless maybe you’re one of the living dead.
P.S. I hope the photoshopped zombie yelling “First!” isn’t also peeing in anybody’s Cheerios.
Do ya ever believe in anything?
Yes, it much better to contribute than it is to make sense. This way we can start up a new cheeseburger site, using a combination of any word and fail. Hopefully it will be written in all caps with lots of exclamation points on the end of it.
Then we can write the same Zombie jokes over again. If anyone complains, we can write some more especially under the person who they think it annoys the most because 14 years olds have lots and lots of time on their hands and what better way to spend it than that?
Xbox is boring after a while.
I will maintain that not even zombies will get your average 14-year-old to write anything on purpose, especially if they’re the gaming type. Ask their teachers what I mean.
So are you saying if someone annoys me I should say nothing because I think they are 14?
Probably. That’s what most adults would do. It’s a grown-up coping skill that I am henceforth putting into practice where you are concerned, as I cannot see the value in continuing to debate with you whether or not the comments here should include a story about zombies. Buh-bye.
Its a shame, I though that at the beginning.
With today’s difficult economy, more and more landscapers are working out of their home.
Holy crap! There’s a gas station across the street now.

Visit my site to read my newly published story, “Ragnarok.”
No.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. This was created by the cast of Twilight who are now so ashamed they refuse to be seen cuttign they’re own lawns!
I won’t say this doesn’t belong here, but it doesn’t deserve the scorn it is getting. I can’t help but notice that both photos of this … vehicle were taken on rainy days. And the paint job is quite fetching!
“Working from home” now has a totally new meaning!
Something’s still missing…oh, of course! They forgot to paint a “TORO” logo on the side.
But we now have confirmation that it is air conditioned!
It’s used on golf driving ranges. Protects the poor guy from getting knocked-out by golf balls since they don’t close just to cut the grass.
Nope. This one has the mower deck intact. Unless they’re out to destroy golf balls, it’s still rigged to keep the emo kid busy mowing the lawn. All of the driving range ball picker-upper thingers I’ve seen used grate material around it for protection, and a sweeper unit at the front to sweep the golf balls into a caddy or bucket in the back.
I tried to buy some tacos from that yesterday. How embarrassing.
Don’t be. Now instead of driving the lawnmower down to the cafe, Grandpa can just drive the cafe. But don’t ask about what he’s using for lettuce. Or any other ingredients, for that matter.
He can mow lawns on rainy days while keeping warm and dry. Then when the sun comes out, he hangs “Hotdog” amd “Popcorn” signs on the outside, and continues to serve the neighborhood.
I noticed that this pic was taken in Georgia. In that case the sign would say “Hot Boiled Peanuts”
You can take it ice fishing too!
Ice fishin’ in Georgia?
Well, just keep driving north, then. Sooner or later, you’ll find a good spot.
Well, there was that one guy from Laurens, Iowa (By now, you probably have figured out from all my thread comments on the Cheeseburger sites that I’m from Iowa.) who rode his riding lawnmower across the country to his sick brother in the hospital. He didn’t have a license or a car, but he had a lawnmower and became the idea for Bobby Bouchet in The Waterboy. That mower can be modded more to have all wheel drive and independant suspension. Doing so could let this guy with no life go all the way to Canada for some ice fishing. He better have some cash and gas cards. The sad thing is that my grandpa probably built it for that guy and sent it to Georgia. He then got it back and repainted it his favorite color- Farmall Red.
This guy took the word out of my mouth.
I bought a Mac laptop with a Logitech extra keyboard (Mac compatible) and after a few hours I called my Mac lover friend with the following statement:
-”If I don’t get the character ‘}’ working the f*****g keyboard goes out the window!”
… sorry, wrong thread!
This kludge is like a metaphor to someone calling “Hells Angels” saying:
-”I got a Aprilla 250CC, can I join?”
vs.
This kludge:er calling a drifting auto club saying:
“I dare yá!”
“While titanium armor would’ve been preferred, I was able to make a temporary vehicle that can both help me escape this death trap and chop any zombies I run over to pieces. If I can just make it to the steel factory, I should be able to upgrade to sheet metal.”
Granted, it ain’t pretty, but I think the guy who now gets to mow the lawn in the rain without getting wet kind of gets the last laugh here.
I’d agree except he’s been stuck in that same spot since last November and the only thing that’s been trimmed is the paint job on his hut. I’m beginning to wonder if he’s not parked on a piece of green carpeting.
I was wondering about that, too. Is this just some kind of showroom model?
All that and no bagger accessory? Cheapskate!
Look…. the New Apple IMower!!!!
It can only mow one lawn at a time.
Unless you jailbreak it
There aren’t that many Exxons close to GA 27 and 257. Makes me want to go hang out at the Huddle House in Hawkinsville, GA so I can point and laugh.
Thanks for mentioning the location! I used to live in Perry and I thought the highway numbers sounded familiar!
Day 185: “I managed to fashioned an escape vehicle from a riding mower to resemble an ice cream truck, in hopes to lure in zombies and chop some faces; cause who doesn’t like ice cream.”
That seems like a lot of structure for just a lawnmower.
It looks like one of those ticket booths at the State Fair
Nah.it is made from one of those film developing huts….
All it needs now is a slightly creepy clown head on top, and an incessant annoying jingle.
Yeah I’m definitely a good driver, yeah, yeah, yeah… My mower gets Judge Wiopner yeah…
Does it have a toilet inside? Would explain the structure.
Obviously the guy was mowing his lawn one day and not paying attention. Then he looks up and sees a old Fotomat booth in his way and can’t hit the brakes in time.
I’d say who ever built this definitely has a little Newfie in them…
What does moderation mean..
It’s an MPV. Summer for mowing lawns and selling icecream/lemonade. Autumn for hotdog sales. Winter for selling hot chocolate and snowplowing. Spring is maintenance time.
Makes me think of Lord of the Trailers. One cab to rule them them, one cab to find them. One cab to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the land of Motor where the Trailers lie.
It belongs to a very old preacher who can no longer drive a car. He modified his lawnmower so he can ride it to the Huddle House in relative confort for his morning coffee.
Its the lawnmower the pope uses.
