So I am out riding my bicycle with my dog in tow (she walks faster than I can run) when I came upon my neighbor's Xmas curbside dumpings.
I happened to catch the wife of the homeowner [edit]ok that is very sexist, women can be homeowners as well[/edit] in the yard and asked her if they were tossing it out. She said she got him a new riding mower and this one had to go. Why a house with less than a 1/4 acre needs a riding mower, hell why said homeowner needed a Troy-bilt mower in the first place are both questions beyond my ken, but whatevs. She didn't mind if I snared it so I came back around with my Jeep and took it home. I had debated doing the old "kid mowing lawns door to door" trick and hooking it to my seatpost, but I love my Kona and didn't want to bugger it up just to get the mower home quicker. Drum roll please: The best part, the oil looked good and with just a little gas it fired up and ran with just a couple pulls on the cord. Seriously, why do people throw these things away, I could sell it now for at least $75 without doing a thing to it.
She also had one of those monster rear-projection TVs on the curb but I don't want to deal with that. I am slowly converting to all plasma (very slowly).
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

I too am converting all of my televisions to plasma. I got rid of my last normal TV in 2004 in anticipation of my fancy new set.

Plasma is so last year.... LED LCD is where it's at! (not same as CCFL LCD which is also dying tech)
Oh, and nice score on the mower!

jangleplatz! Oh wait, I thought you meant converting them to plasma by burning them at extremely high temperatures. Carry on then.
