But if no one was around to hear it, did it actually make a sound?

I kick ass for the lord!

What is the sound of one hand clapping the inside of the grass catcher?

nom, nom, nom ?

/sorry...

VroooooooooooomchunkachunkachunkaAIIEEEEEEEchunkachunka?

I'm gonna guess something like:
Grrrrrrrrrrnugggghjxlyrnkerzzzzzzzzzzkkkkgrrrrrrrrrzzzzzkerplunk!

ARGH!

Chipped Monk

He is now at piece.

OM NOM NOM NOM

He will come back as fertilizer.

What a mowran.

Sique: He is now at pieces.

ftfy

He lost three fingers in a lawnmower accident a few years back.

I've been able to safely operate lawnmowers for about 20 years now. Something tells me that if you can't mow the grass without losing digits, that might be a sign that you ought to be reassigned to kitchen duty or something.

I think he should have given up the lawn duty when he lost the fingers all those years ago. The cosmos was trying to tell him something, and he didn't listen.

None. He had taken a vow of silence.

When the Buddha said all of life is suffering, I don't think he meant the "caught in a lawnmower" kind.

JerseyTim: I kick ass for the lord!

this.

"ooooooohhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm"

Brother Shamus? Like an Irish monk?

the age of reason: When the Buddha said all of life is suffering, I don't think he meant the "caught in a lawnmower" kind.

I LOL'ed

The monk in question?

/hopes that's not obscure

Driver wins.

Revenge of the Son of Killdozer?

Was his name Chip?

He found inner pieces.

42

Sussman: He found inner pieces.

But at the same time found himself in pieces

It was that or lighting himself on fire. Tough being a monk.

Damn.

What do you have to do for the lawnmower karma to come after you?

Gunga-gulungaaaaaaaaaaaahh!

i wonder if it was a 'mass'ey-ferguson

"The monk, who lost three fingers in a mower accident ten years ago, was sliced up by the cutter in the 12-acre grounds of the Peace Pagoda in Milton Keynes."

...and no one saw that coming after the fingers?

I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who was hit by a power mower
One leg is missing, the other is gone
And there's an arm scattered all over the lawn
No need explaining
The one arm remaining
Is spinning on the garage floor
I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I overlooked befooooooooooore...

I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I hit with the power mower
That monk's not praying, he no longer chants
Got hit by the blades, now he's food for ants
No need explaining, there's no monk remaining
Now he is decomposing
I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I made one with everythiiiiiiing!

JerseyTim: I kick ass for the lord!

Poopspasm: The monk in question?

/hopes that's not obscure

not obscure but funny. i laughed anyway.

i couldn't believe i recognized him when he joined the cast of Lost a couple of weeks ago.

asl: "The monk, who lost three fingers in a mower accident ten years ago, was sliced up by the cutter in the 12-acre grounds of the Peace Pagoda in Milton Keynes."

...and no one saw that coming after the fingers?

and the picture of him is recent. or at least after the finger cutting part.

i'm guessing it was his responsibility to see that the handbrake worked correctly also. oh well.

Get off my lawn!

Sounds like he'd be too stupid to be trusted around food and sharp knives.

Thems the brakes...

or lack of...

Buuurrrpppp!

He was simply becoming one with the reality of the lawnmower.

It happens now and zen.
