That a plastic garbage can lid can get sucked up by a snowblower faster than you can read this sentence?

Im thinking, "why pickup the lid, I'll just get up next to it. . ."

[bang]

I had to pull all the sheer pins so I could rotate the auger back wards and rip the lid back out with a pair of channel locks  [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]

RIP garbage can lid

I imagine some sort of device to give pleasure to snowmen.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

A snowblower is a device that usually starts, but idles like an alcohol dragster with severe blower surge.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
