I never had a problem with him. Looks like bloodsport was offering to drag him around on his mower... that seems sane.

You're lucky! My dad got me one for my 15th birthday! I did ask for a new one for the house and because me and my brother would go door to door asking to do lawns to make some pocket money but, I didn't ask for it as a Birthday present! He laughed about that for about 3 weeks straight. My brother and I did make some decent money with it though. Hell we used to go to the local supermarkets and bag groceries or offer to load people's car's for tips. Or we'd run to the store for the older people in the neighborhood or do chores for them. You don't see kids doing any of that stuff anymore. No kids knocks when it snows either. We did that too. We were always looking to do something to earn money. Today? Forget it. I forget which comedian said it but this is the Worst. Generation. Ever.

You're EXACTLY right on the majority of the current generation of kids, and I start the counting at 30 and below, LMAO!! My own kids ain't worth a plug nickel, for the most part. I can't get help, AND they know I'm disabled. I can still last longer on a tractor than my son in law!
