Sugar, actually, doesn’t work at all when poured into the gas tank, since it doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. Bleach in the oil pan, however, is a different story.

I would suggest pouring sugar in his gas tank but then he’d probably never mow his lawn again… (Had to ask the husband what one would pour in a gas tank to make said vheicle not work… now he’s all freaked out about why I wnated to know… hee hee)

When I blamed the heat and humidity as reasons for not mowing the yard, Youngest Daughter pointed out: “you could do it around 7:00am, before it gets bad”.

I think this statement alone is grounds for kicking her non-working bum out…. especially since she doesn’t rise until roughly noon…

Me, I would invest in a nice 7.62mm and find some way of silencing it… engine blocks are fragile things, cast metal or not.

Beyond that, sugar in the fuel tank does interesting things.

Or just take the lawnmower blade. That is always entertaining.

Of course, I would never actually propose following through on these suggestions… Of course not.

You could always organize something with the other neighbors. The rest of you mowing your lawns at, say, 2 AM on a Sunday morning all at once should do the trick.

I’ve also been a fan of playing Pink Floyd’s Time at earsplitting volume when they have to be up the next morning, too. I did that to my upstairs neighbors in an apartment during finals week, after I’d asked them to quiet down no less than six times. Oddly enough, they never bothered me again.

Bryan, they’re a family that’s lived here for 2 generations now. Chances are very good you went to school with at least one of them.

Chaz: good man.

I never start this sort of thing before 9 am. Of course, I seldom drag myself out of bed on weekends before 8:30.

The unwritten suburban rule reads that “no mechanical devices such as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, string trimmers or power saws will be used before 9:00 a.m. on Saturday or Sunday, otherwise 8:00 a.m.” However, assholes will continue to be assholes no matter how many signs are posted on their door. In fact, they usually get worse.

As an aside, I grew up in Leavenworth – class of ’80- and these folks remind me so much of the people with which I grew up…scary!!!

Well, that IS an option. Or a sniper rifle, or a bear trap…
