LAWN CARE; SHE DONT CARE

Now I know what you guys are all thinking Nick, Other than having a strong Mustache and stacked calfs how else can I wow the ladies?? Well I’m here to tell you here is a great way to make the ladies purr. Your lawn care. But what? But yes.

Being home from school during spring break for my parents means one thing. Someone to mow the lawn! :D That someone is me. Make no mistake about it I take my lawn care more seriously than Hank Hill himself. Though I don’t sell propane and propane accessories.

Every long snapper knows that you have to look great in every type of way and that’s including the front lawn fancy.

There are many ways one can take care of his lawn but I’m only going to stick to one way. The mow. The mow is the most important part of the lawn care essentials. You can’t just throw the mower out there all willy nilly like and expect it to be classier than school on Monday…see what I did there?

There are 3 different basic styles that I can think of right off the bat, the first one is the HOT DOG STYLE

THE HOT DOG:

I’m bringing this name all the way back to first grade when you fold your papers in “The hot dog way” Those of you who didn’t have creative teacher that is the horizontal way. This way says a few things about yourself. First that your very precisionsous ßnote that is not a word. And you can make long lines very straight. Well done to you because this lawn task is not an easy one to look great. This also is the fastest way to cut the pitch and make it look classy. It is a quick and easy way, and if done right…next thing you know your doorbell will be ringing by all the classiest neighborhood cats.  

This way is also very popular by the punt only long snappers. Notice 15 yards of straight line is a very popular thing amongst these cool cats and is quite handy in helping notice a straight snap.

THE HAMBURGER:

This is also bringing us back to 1996 when I was once in the words of snoop and wiz, young and wild and free.  Hamburger style is the folding the paper down the middle approach. This style of cut is a very precise and short length cut. No doubt about it, it’s a longer taking snip of the lawn that might take an hour or so. This slice does make for a very clean finish. It is a lot more turning and rotation of the mower and if you’re on the ride on mower it can be rather difficult to keep sharp. None the less this is a style that if done right can have the whole neighborhood chirping about your classy lawn cuts.

This type is very popular and almost recommended by field goal snappers. Notice field goal snaps are from 7-8 yards. See what I’m getting at? Alright.

THE BASEBALL CUT:

Now I must warn you. This trim is not for the novice or the young. This cut takes months, almost years to master and learn. I’ve spent many spring seasons practicing this carving. It takes a steady hand and much much, much concentration. This is of course the groove of diagonal cuts. Much like a baseball outfield. This trim will have the whole neighborhood talking at the water cooler about how crafty your lawn looks. Also it will have ladies not only ringing the doorbell but calling the line as well. Dogs themselves will know that this is a no fly zone for their waste. Also people flying by will know to take a peak out their window for this dandy.

Now you know how to catch the ladies eyes when your not even home! That’s right a nice lawn shows the girls fathers also that you’re a man. A man who knows how to take care of his lawn.

Also huge shout out to my brother and the MIZZOU Men’s Lacrosse team as they played Virginia Tech last night and mike had his first start at face off and D-middi. Normally he is just a D-middi. He went 19-21 on his face-offs and I couldn’t be more proud of him!! Also Mitch Tusing likes to hit people and does it very, very well…I’m proud of him J

ALSO!!! I will be making a song of the week! Keeping with the spring baseball theme I have chosen this little ditty from the 80’s. for those of you that know this used to be Chicago White Sox’s 2^nd basemen Gordan Beckham’s batting song
