Hey you, with the brown bag! Yes, you, I hope you trip on your shoelaces, lose your balance and involuntarily hit the beer of that 150-kilo biker who will retribute by making you his bitch for the next month. I then hope the cops bust him for drugs and throw you in the slammer for [...]

I knew this thing was fun since I saw “Forrest Gump”, so I can’t say I am surprised, but it is one of these things you don’t want to overly hype it in case it’s a letdown… Well, it’s not! Mowing my yard with the brand new Snapper rider is LOADS OF FUN ! It [...]
