Last night I received an urgent text message and I...oh wait.  Nevermind...my evening was documented here.

If "the guy with the reindeers" had a blog, his latest entry would look something like this:

My neighbor two houses away has problems.  The man is a slacker.  Mow your lawn, you damn fool.  And why do you call yourself "Old Man Neill"?  You're in your 30's!  Don't you have a job?  I always see you out playing with one of your kids at every hour of the day.  Are you some kind of housewife?  When I was your age...oh don't even get me started.  And one more thing...what the hell were you trying to do the other day?  You stunk up the whole neighborhood burning an entire gallon of GASOLINE in your grill.  I took some pictures of your lunacy for the whole world to see:

My not-so-genius neighbor

Hey "Old Man Neill", you probably shouldn't stomp out a fire while wearing sandals.

Um, yeah.  Those are good questions.  The lawn and gas are related issues.  You're right about the slacker part.  Last fall I was too lazy to burn up the old gas in the mower.  After sitting around all winter, all that old gas won't start or run my mower.  So how DOES one dispose of a gallon of "old gas"?  Since my wife recently melted our grill, the grill seemed like a lovely container for burning gas.  I guess I do have problems.

      Man, if you would have sprayed the gas on the lawn and dropped a match to it, you wouldn't have to worry about how you're going to mow the grass.

      That is too funny...

      I did something similar when I was 15. About 2 seconds before the 10 foot flame lit the tree on fire, the thought passed through my mind that.. "Hmm... maybe this wasn't a great idea."

      It ended up costing me two weeks in the middle of summer spending every day painting curbs for the borough to work off the fine.

      Would have been better if you had a beer in your hand, preferably something really cheap like Natural Light.

      I still haven't forgotten about the time you told me to turn up the gas on high and manually light that grill. The quick burst of flame singed my bangs and my eye lashes. Not cool, I'm still afraid of that grill.
