Call me a sexist but
I'm really wanting to hire my neighbor's lawn care company. The woman running the mower and the blower is incredibly easy on the eyes.

It appears to be a small, family business, so I *could* justify that I'm helping the local economy by employing a small, local business.

Sure is hot out. Maybe I'll make some lemonade and bring it over to them...

1. Sexist but.
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 12:45 PM by DuStrange
If you do it, be sure to post some pics here. I like seeing small, local businesses thrive.

Edited because I felt like it.

2. No No, that's not sexist, it would be sexist to say she can't run a mower or blower...
because she's a woman. Wanting to hire her just because she's hot just means you are shallow, not sexist. :P

3. I'm really sorry to hear that you broke your arms at the elbow and can't push your mower.
Wait, you mean a perfectly healthy, able bodied man is seriously contemplating paying somebody to cut his grass once a week?

If you want to oggle women, order Skinemax. :eyes:

22. Why pay for it? There's free porn on the interweb.
Or so I've been told. Not that I'd know anything about it.

23. Dude, there's usually free porn in his email.
I keep him well supplied on the nekkid picture front. There's definitely no need to be staring at the neighbor's lawn service.

24. ... you really think you should have said that in front of the lounge pevs?
Although as far as I know, none of them know how to hack into people's email accounts... :P

25. From time to time one PMs me and asks me to hook them up.
If they're persistent, I forward their request to flvegan. :evilgrin:

5. Seriously.
They're doing a bang up job, too. She's brought serious curb appeal to my neighborhood.

You know, if having a well manicured lawn and a nicely blown surrounding area is wrong, well brother, I don't want to be right.

I've done my share of staring at men doing lawn work.

12. That's not sexism - that's advertising. Just like the beer commercials.
And also like the beer commercials - you ain't gettin' any of that.

18. Heya billy!


I know, clothes just get in the way of most everything, don't they? I wrecked a nice summer shirt because I was painting in public last week and forgot to bring painting clothes with me. :(

What's new?

:hi:

20. What's new.
Well, I've been up. And down. And up. Right now is an up, since about June.

I took ballroom dancing lessons and learned to dance the foxtrot, waltz, quickstep, rumba and cha cha. Now I'm learning to do the Jive, which is ace fun. Second lesson is tomorrow night. Lots of rock and roll.

I miss you. When are you going to come out and visit me?

Okay, I wish. But how about you? What have you been up to?

:*

Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 03:48 PM by Jamastiene
to admire a hot, glistening woman who is nice looking AND good with a lawn mower? If so, I must be sexist too. :P

36. This reminds me of a movie where the woman orders a large pizza with extra pepperoni....
...the star of the movie was actually the pizza delivery guy. He rings the doorbell and when she answers, he says "I got your large pepperoni right HERE."

Not sure what happens next. I had to pause the movie because a friend came over. I'll finish watching it later tonight, but so far, the plot of the movie really leaves a lot to be desired.

:rofl:

See, that would be a sexist statement.
