While they were made of cardboard it doesn't seem to be an anti-sex thing.

In several areas it's illegal (or otherwise against civil code or other applicable bylaws) to not mow your lawn, you know. There are any number of reasons a person, with acreage or not, would need to mow their lawn.
You should really lose the sanctimonious tone.

According to our records that package wasn't scheduled to be delivered by us.
Maybe U.P.s-ed it out?

It's a name with Persian roots. Naz means "delight, comfort". Fun fact, Nazgul is also a name used in Central Asia. Alibek is also a popular surname in this region, and Nazil could've been from the same part of the Soviet Union.

Or you could just not do that. It doesn't hurt anything to not mow. You know, the way nature was before we decided as a species we need the grass to be a few inches tall.
You're choosing to do this.

My Dad got it in 1997 on a fishing trip when a horse fly bit him that had been feeding on a rabbit. The disease, or the the treatment, ruined his inner ear and balance. He’s still all fucked up.

I feel like Nazil is kind of an unfortunate name. It's kind of a mix between Nazi and Nazgul

Reply to TIL that William Daniels, famous for playing Mr. Feeney on "Boy Meets World," has been married to to actress and fellow Emmy Award winner Bonnie Bartlett since June 30, 1951; at more than 71 years, it is the longest active Hollywood marriage as of today. by arrogant_ambassador
This dude absolutely steals the show in a criminally underrated 80s comedy called "Blind Date." He hates his son (played by John Laroquette) and belittles him at every chance he can. Perfect deadpan humor.
