I do not like yard work.  I am especially not fond of cutting the grass - though I have fond memories of our old Lawn Boy lawnmower.

One of the things that drives me nuts about cutting the grass is having to first stoop and scoop our dog's stuff, move planters, lawn chairs, and then visiting relatives so I can have a straight run at our offensively tall blades of grass (I know it's not Kentucky Blue because it's green) with my Sears 6.5 horsepower, gas powered, self-propelled, rear bagging mower.  Don't even get me going about having to navigate around trees and their roots.

My motto for cutting the grass? - "What I mow, let me mow quickly and in a straight line."

Needless to say, I won't be adding one of these grass chairs to my backyard very soon.

If you hate housework - you'll quickly grow to hate this game.

You are allowed to play it if you have a Hoover vacuum at home.  Ok, you can play if you have a Filter Queen, Sears Electrolux, or even one of those Dison vacuums.  I bet even a Dirt Devil owner can play.  Whatever brand of vacuum cleaner you own, you are allowed to play.

I wonder if they will ever bring this game out for Swiffer owners?

Sorry!  Hoover removed their vacuuming game.

If I find it again I will put it back here.

Rube Goldberg Machines are pretty neat. I'm not sure what the fascination behind them is, but I suppose it's the same thing that makes us like the other kitchen gadgets, hardware gizmos, and homemade inventions of the world.

I don't speak Japanese myself, so I have no idea what these machines are promoting.  The music that accompanies them is kind of catchy to - in an amusement park kind of way.

I was told that this exercise is something that they test Air Force recruits with.  I'm not sure if that is the case, but let me tell you that if they do, it appears that you won't soon be seeing me in any fighter jets, helicopters, or even a hang glider.

I'm probably more the type of guy they throw out of a plane (with a parachute) because even though I may not have the hand to eye coordination of a fighter pilot, I do know how to pray! And I'm not talkgin about to Jeronimo.

Anyway, to test your hand-eye co-ordination, simple click and hold on the red box and move it to keep it away from the blue boxes.  Keep it away from the black walls too. That sounds easy enough doesn't it?
