I forgot to check the oil in the lawnmower. Replacement engine was about about a grand.

You should have bought a replacement mower for about 300-400.

The mower is an XMARK. It's not your average mower, 1/4" steel plating all around. I had a mowing business in highschool.

"Hey, you aren't going to arrest ME are you?"
-cielo to running at me oncoming riot cop, who had full gasmask/helmet on and definetly didn't hear me. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] That's by far the most I've ever paid in rent for one night's stay

That's as stupid as it gets.

(Stupid Loans To People - What Were We Thinking? would make for a great thread on its own...)
