Pancakes?

Oh, I see what you did there subby. Clever.

BACON

uhhh, its the old guy who attacked the man who owned the yard.

Come on now.

pancakes?

You had me at pancakes.

Okay. Okay.

Scrambled eggs.

You, sir, are charged with unauthorized weed trimming.

really tired of "pancakes"
you guys can come up with something fresh surely.

Mmm...fresh pancakes.

DNRTFA. Came straight to the comments. Why?

"Weed w(h)acker" is just one of those things that it's funny to say.

Weed whacker. Weed whacker. Weed whacker.

I feel better already.

So now I'll stop whacking. (Sorry.)

No kidding. Where did that stupid "pancakes" come from anyway? One day, there were no pancakes in headlines, the next they were everywhere. I am frightened and confused.

I've actually had an old man tell me to keep my goddamned frisbee off his goddamned lawn IRL back in about 1990. I was working for the city's parks and rec dept as a playground leader with neighborhood kids. He didn't take to kindly to a wayward frisbee crossing the street and landing one foot inside his property. Yelled at us from inside his screen door.

So, I can relate to this oft-used Fark cliche, and I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

So why exactly is this old man driving 15 miles with a weedwhacker to trim someone else's lawn?

As an aside, just because the Pittsburgh/Greensburg area hosts the Furry convention and some of its journalists can't seem to put together grammatically correct sentences in a mere six sentence article, that doesn't mean....well, I don't know what it doesn't mean, but it must not mean something!

....is charged with simple assault, recklessly endangerment and

....Bell's wife says the weed-whacker going full-speed and Bell put his hand up

standing your ground when it comes to one's property is serious business! I'd be pissed too.
just kidding, the guy who attacked him is a nut!

Weed whacker is fun to say.
So is cricket licker.
Caught one of my cats lickin' a cricket, so now that's one of his nicknames.

CRICKET LICKER CRICKET LICKER CRICKET LICKER...
but he'd rather have pancakes.

RehcamretsneF: uhhh, its the old guy who attacked the man who owned the yard.

This.
Subby got this backwards. Neighbour told the old man to get off his lawn.

Fireballs get old and cranky too.

Now that we've established that the headline is misleading, I'd like to ask a question:

What kind of recourse do you have as a property owner if someone doesn't get off your lawn after you've asked them to? Would a weed-whacker to the face be upheld in court?

Superjew: What kind of recourse do you have as a property owner if someone doesn't get off your lawn after you've asked them to? Would a weed-whacker to the face be upheld in court?

I believe that we came up with this whole justcie and police system to prevent the need for recourse to weed whackers. Where I live, anyone can go on your lawn unless you have a sign that says "private property - keep out." If someone camps out on your lawn or does something harmful, you can still ask the police to remove them. If they cause harm, you can sue them (though success depends on a lot of things). Weed whackers really aren't necessary; they just give a greater sense of satisfaction. Unless your police have tasers...

/As an aside, I think that property rights are not so useful in an over-crowded world. What everyone does on their property effects everyone else. Mowing your lawn today? Your neighbor's kid who has asthma will suffer. (Unless you're a saint who uses a hand-push mower.)

In Texas it is trespass if you tell them to leave and they do not.

Simple trespass would not qualify as criminal Mischief but his attempt to grab the weed whacker would qualify and could get you killed ---- You can actually kill someone in the act of criminal mischief on your property here with changes made to state law in the last few years.

It all comes down to what state you live in as to how far you can go though. Plus how much work the local pigs*cough* cops feel like doing.

If any Mafia guy has 'Weed' as a nickname, that would be the most appropriate weapon if he ever had a contract out on him.

'Pancakes' is what Stewie says after felling a bookcase in the Family Guy episode 12 of season 5 "Love Thy Trophy".

I can't believe nobody cited it yet.

I want some pancakes! Bring me some god damn pancakes!

shindaiwa for the win. i'd love to whack someone with mine.

Um, actually, it's a lot wierder than the headline says. The old guy took his weed whacker and went to the other guys lawn and attacked him on the other guys property. The younger guy was just standing there on his property and some deranged old guy attacked him with a weed whacker. Wierd.

PAAAAAAAAAANCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES!!!! *high YAW!*

Not to sound stupid... ok, sounding stupid, but what is or where from did the Pancakes joke originate? I think it has to do with McCain, right?

(just curious, i missed the meme premier, and spelling was never my strong point)

i'd use my paintball gun instead.
