$130 for a shovel with a wheel attached to it.

If you're so weak or lame that you need a wheel to help you shovel then you're just better off paying the kid across the street 20 bucks to do the job for you.

Tell me south pacific, how often do you shovel snow?

From your secret volcano and everything.

When you have to do it, a wovel would simply make it more enjoyable because it's such a goof-ass looking thing.

When you don't have to do it, it's damned easy to call it easy.

It's also not noisy, polluting and prone to breaking down like a snow blower.

Plus you can use it for races when you're high.

I probably shouldn't go into the story about the weak and lame 65 year old neighbor I saw die of cardiac arrest while snowblowing his driveway across the road from me when I was 15 or how my brothers and I tried to revive him until the paramedics arrived. The guy who didn't have 20 bucks.

Cuz that'd be a sob story that doesn't fit the tone of the board and all.

Yeah right, snowblowers weren't invented yet. Nice try.

I figured the wheel would slip on the ice and snow and be constantly flipping out of your hands or knocking you on your face.

Seriously, though. $130? You can get a snowblower for that much. And if you don't want a snowblower because of noise or pollution or whatever, you can find someone willing to do the job for half that price.

You missed the part about the wovel being cool-looking though.

It says "Non-religious Amish, or I Possibly Have Auditory Halluncinations And Sometimes Sway Vacantly On The Curb Next To The Post Office"

FUCK YOU, FROSTINGSPOON.

I grew up in CHICAGO. So yeah, I know more than you think about shoveling piles of snow, you asshat. :roll:

Sorry to hear your stupid neighbor didn't survive your CPR techniques too. Cry me a river, I feel your pain. Next time try and assist the elderly before they attempt to do something like that instead of just watching them from behind your curtains inside your house.

Not that I was trying to be anymore asshat than usual, but my point was not all people who have to clear their driveways are particularly able-bodied. And snowblowers can be hell on people with heart conditions. Then there's the old goats like my dad would have jumped in front of a bus before shelling out money for some kid to shovel.

That edit part was good, south pacific, the right response to river crying on message boards, if a bit harsh on the dude. What the hell, though. He's been dead twenty-five years now, it's not like he gives a shit.

I just want a wovel because it's retarded-looking.

Oh, your second edit was even better goading.
I saw the guy collapse from my driveway. He was dead by the time I ran across the road.

Good job adding imaginary details there, though it's not like I knew the guy was 65 or that he had a heart condition beforehand.

I suppose I could have roamed the neighborhood looking for people who appeared to be about to have heart attacks instead of all that horrible hiding behind curtains stuff.
