Lawnmower Engine Top Rated on OS?

Rate: 18 Flag
#####################################################

 ###################################################

Lunch break. Climbed down off the ladder to see if anything was happening around OS.

Post after post is mentioning the errors, copying the errors, wondering if the errors are going to be corrected etc.

Uh..no. Guess not.

A lawnmower ad is one of the top rated posts.

That's a new low.

That is pretty dismal. I need to ask though, what kind of lawnmower is it? That might make some difference to me - I can always appreciate quality yard maintenance equipment.
I rated it- don't take much to get to the top
And an empty chair was the star of the GOP Convention. Inanimate objects are people, my friend.
Law of averages at work. That blogger put up almost 500 posts today, the very day he/she signed up. Surely one of those 500 was bound to come out on top.
There's an ad for riding mowers in your post. Bribes?
@ nanatehay

It's just the engine I believe. Not really mine kind of equipment.
I run a 5 h.p, Briggs & Stratton Industrial/Commercial on top of my 21" 1983 Snapper mower. 3600 r.pm.'s. No sissy blade stop either. 1983 was the last year they made those. Vroom vroom

@ tr ig,

Rated it? Well, it wasn't all that bad come to think of it.
It's a very informative post!! I recommended it for an EP!! :D
@ ThroughMyEyes,

You mean this post or that other one?

@ asia rein,

What was the topic?

@ Cranky Cuss,

Good point. Inanimate objects seem to be a specialty with the GOP.
@DandyLion,

Seems about right. Did you read the other ones? Was this the best of them?

@ nolalibrarian,

I will consider a bribe if that's an offer.

@ Tinkerertink69,

A quick glance at the left side shows that maybe you're reading them all. So which one did you like best?
Lawnmowers are people too- just like corporations.
I like them all!! But the ones about walk in bath tubs are the best!! ;D
Wow, and it only took me three times signing in to get here and comment...things are looking up. As for the motor, the Briggs and Stratton is admittedly the best of them as is the Snapper lawnmower, but on the top rated lists? Really? A new low indeed.
These comments were funny, but were they were funny enough to warrant spending five perfectly good minutes waiting for them to load? Those are minutes that I will never get back.
:-( Lawnmower poster is dead!! WEEP!!!!!
Sadly, engine man has been obliterated. AKA weedeaterman. And as soon as they opened the door to kick his sorry butt out..in walked 5 more of his drinking buddies.

Alas,h e would not have made it here on OS as a long term blogger anyway. He had a mere 561 rates on Amazon in a matter of a year and we all know Trig can do that over the course of two days with a single meta post. I'm a bit saddened as he does have a head spring for $2.99. Not sure what it is but it sounds like fun.
@ Ian Curtis,

I am humbled by your understanding of the conflicts faced daily by power mowers.
@ Tinkerertink69,

I always have to check to see if I put enough ers in yer name.
They sell those 1/2 baths too. Splendid.
@ David McClain,
We'll need to be satisfied with our round-table discussion about lawnmowers and not regret the time and effort it takes.

@ greenheron,

Good for a laugh every 5 minutes or so. That's a motto. Sort of. needs work.

@Tinkerererererertink69,

It's sad but true. Gone.

@ ThroughMyEyes,

I'm not the right one to ask about headsprings but $2.99 is a bargain no matter what it does.
The footballer has 357 pages of posts since June 10. Prolific?
And he's dead. It may be slow, but we might have found a way to kill the spammers.

Rate them.

Ha!
Does that mean that you won't make an offer?

Best,
Fernsy( who is broke and thought her friends here might buy this engine for a fair price. Sorry ;()
@ fernsy,

I have a shed full of tools and need no more.
Ladder? Are you a fireman?
You add enough erer, my mom was a stutterer!! :(

It takes awhile, but if we rate the spammers into being noticed, they may get deleted. Or EPs!!!

:D
It is interesting-not until the spammers in question were rated and made the cover in the feeds (along with the abundance of posts emphasizing the errors and the deplorable state to which OS has devolved) was any action taken against them-as in termination with extreme prejudice.
@ snarkychaser,

Not a fireman.
Wasn't rescuing the cat.
Painting the house.

@ Tinkerertink69,

Spam EP's. That's classy.

@Ian Curtis,

Looks like it's missing today.
Couldn't get on at all earlier in the day. Such a time waster.
It's nonsense.
this submarine got screendoors.....
