BBBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHAAAAA!!!!!

That's really amusing.

Yup. Bought them last year way out in Virginia at a big farm equipment
store. Three blades, with an $11 and change sticker on them. Maybe it
should have been $11 each, but I was charged under $12. Standard issue
from Husky, too...not OEM.

When I lived in Eastern Maryland, I *would always go *to Virginia to buy
my mower blades, doesn't everyone?

I'm betting the farm equipment store was inherited by a son, who then
sold off all the contents to the tune of several million dollars,
thereby impacting the farm equipment market in the entire northeastern
US for several years.

Yeah... that's the ticket.

Well, he had to change his lie. That's what liars do when cornered.
He's now saying he bought oil for a lawnmower by the 5.5 quart
container!!!!!!!! I'm surprised his lie didn't go as far as trying to
tell us he drove his lawnmower down the the quickie lube to have it
done! Trouble is, they are five quart containers!

Well it looks like Harry paid too little, they sell the Husky mower 3
pack of 21 3/4 blades for $41.99, if you order it online, and have it
shipped to the store. They say the local price will probably be more.

I hope Harry stops by the next trip up there and pays them the difference.

Valvoline...5.5 quart jug. If you bring a note from mommy with you,
autozone would sell you one. You could use it to lube up the bottom of
that wide stance boat of yours.

Ah yes the giant imperial gallon jug.

Is that a pontoon boat by chance? WTF are those things good for?

Ahhh...the right-wing ejaculates at play. At least you have the proper
"wide-stance" boat for someone of your persuasion, eh? Whatever amount
of oil I poured in from the oil jug was correct, since the dipstick
reads full, and I didn't overfill.

Is he a pontooner too? ****in' hilarious.

Bubbles on the bottom. That's not a boat, it's a raft.
