The new Discovery Channel riding lawn mower build off?
« on: October 16, 2006, 06:33:56 PM »
Funny was watching the stupid trike thing tonight. My wife said it looked like a riding lawnmower. You build what you build, but to me they looked like mechanical abortions.  ???

EC, or is it AC? Certainly not DC. ;)

I caught the tail end because I thought it couldn't be that bad.  Your wife is wrong.  It didn't look like a riding mower.  It looked like a butt-ugly riding mower.  A John Deere would have been much more attractive (I'm not kidding).

Sorry, as I understand it,  EC (El Cheapo) had been reincarnated as AC (Anubis Cycle).  I made, apparently, a very bad play on EC/AC to come up with DC.

Oh. I thought you were making some reference to sexual orientation.
