Leaf Blower?

[jabberwocky]

More like Leaf BLOW-er, am I right? C'mon, that was too easy.

Seriously though, can we agree that the Leaf Blower is probably the most pointless asshole device of all time?

Yep, I just cursed in a public LJ entry, something I have tried to avoid doing for years. I feel that strongly about how much leaf blowers really blow.

Man, it is good to see that LJ userpic.

I wonder how a leaf blower got to be a machine that became widely used. "Don't worry about the leaves on yer property, just blow 'em into being someone else's problem!" Why not a leaf-SUCKer, that sucked leaves in and mulched 'em for dissemination throughout the yard/lawn/area, or compacted 'em for later disposal en masse? It just doesn't compute, somehow, that someone somewhere at some point arrived upon "the leaf blower" as a good idea for a product to mass-produce.
