I gotta tell youse guys, for folks so concerned with trashiness and public perceptions of taste/class/good-neighbor-ness, youse ought to take care of your own lawn. It looks worse than the moroneighbors'! Surely, bloggers as well-versed as yourselves recognize the element of truth behind the glass house metaphor.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are, dearest Anonymous! Our lawn does indeed look gross beyond belief, due to the lack of a proper lawn-cutting implement at 1Prime.

However, our unkempt yard is actually part of a larger plot to gain the confidence of The Neighbors. A lawn is a barometer for the overall quality of the home owner. If The Neighbors see a weedy mess over here, they'll think we're like them and more likely to come across the fence. It's like using a duck call when hunting.
