While I understand your desire to live in what is at times a lovely quiet ‘burb on the edge of the city, what is it with the epidemic of power washing your driveways (and everything else in sight) already? That’s drinking water you’re wasting while you ruin your neighbour’s alfresco dinner with the din of your over-sized novelty power washer.
I get it: your over-manicured lawns and giant plastic houses don’t exactly scream “I care about my ecological footprint,” but it’s a driveway! How clean does it need to be? I suppose if all of your other neighbours jumped off a cliff into a pool of drinking water run-off from that driveway, you’d feel an overwhelming suburbanite compulsion to follow?

it’s a man thing o.p., and maybe they watched too much tim allen’s home improvement too. they usually have a big fucking honking s.u.v., and don’t use any chemicals on their lawn. you know, trying to protect ma nature. yep, bet my money, that he is also a 4 wheeler too.
Yes, yes OP. Arrakis just hasn’t been the same since House Atreides took over from the Harkonnen. The Fremen are restive, The Emperor has an agenda, The Bene Jesserrit are just a bunch of stone cold bitches but above all The Spice Must Flow.
Go suck off a giant sandworm.
Can you even do that to one of those?!
OB, you do understand the science of water don’t you? It’s the same water from the time before dinosaurs. Don’t worry about driveway cleaning water. It will evaporate, turn into cloud, rain, and collect in our water supply.
I don’t think they have the parts.

Dune and Clan of the Cavebear – Tied for “worst, book to movie, ever”.
Informative!
And you’re right, Hugo. Patrick Stewart was the only reason to even watch the movie
Once one (suburban office drone) rids their lawns of dandelions, clearly there is not much left to do. Or is it that a clean, well manicured/landscaped driveway is a sign of virility? Sorry about the perverted double antendre of my post, “get some class”, I didn’t mean to upset your delicate sensibilities.
…that and the soundtrack by Toto. >; )
And Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Leto (for realz)
LOL @ Clan of the Cave Bear. – “50 Shades of Grey” for bored housewives pretending to be “interested ” in paleontology.
“I bless the raaiiins down on Arr-rakis!”
Bwa-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha. Nice.
And who could forget Sting, showing us a glimpse of the rennaissance man he was soon to become…

F.Y.I. In 85 I rawked a pair of the exact same skivvies.
Rrrrr-owwwwwwww!
I bet he’s got a leaf blower too.
Why are people so obsessed with their lawns? What a waste of time. In fact, a lawn is healthier with a diversity of plants in it. Homogenous lawns with one type of grass are far more prone to disease and infestation as there are no plants around them that deter the pests that feed on grass. Give me the dandelions, plantain, clover, thistle, buttercup anytime. I’m just going to mow it anyway.
I trim my lawn just for da hoes!
you’d love my lawn, critter guy, it’s got all sorts. i have never washed my driveway or sidewalk, i like the crow poop
