Mars Attacks! on the treelawn

[bec76]

You know, the big problem with treelawning furniture in 95 degrees Fahrenheit is sometimes you get covered in glitter. Which sticks like Gorilla Glue to your sweaty body causing you to itch like crazy. Ugh

Okay, I'm lost. What does "treelawning" mean?

[bec76]

Treelawning is another way of saying garbage picking. I'm starting think it's a purely Clevelandism, since a friend from Virginia and anthor person from Akron had never heard it.

Ah. Okay - I thought that's what it meant from the context of your post, but I wasn't sure. :)

Is okies - I like explaining things. :D

What a bunch of idiots to get rid of perfectly good stuff without a)offering it to neighbors or b)having a yard sale.

Yeah, I have to say I'm thoroughly annoyed about the "destroying things" part of this. If they're treelawning it, that's cool -- gives other people an opportunity to find it and get some use out of it. But not even being willing to be bothered to just treelawn it instead of smashing it? That's... *grrrr*.

If they were going for "make a good impression on the new neighbors" (which I seriously doubt is high on their list), that isn't how to do it.

Yeah, tell me about it. Do you remember that really cool multi-arm floor lamp that they had in the main room? TRASHED!! ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE!!! Oh, the waste of good, useful stuff is a near-physical pain.

It was like they were deliberately destroying stuff! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! The waste!
