There used to be an old KVRX promo spot in which a bored teenager was being badgered by his mother to mow the lawn, & he says he doesn't want to, he'd rather listen to KVRX. The humorous tag was, "KVRX - it's better than mowing the lawn." Meanwhile, you could hear the lawnmower revving up in the background.

I tried to find it in old recordings but had no luck. Sorry!

I didn't have a yard growing up. We lived in apartments. Occasionally, my sister would give me five bucks to mow their lawn. It wasn't any fun. She used to mow her own lawn but doesn't anymore. She pays someone now.

We have a lot of lawn where I now live. When the wife was getting a fence put around the backyard - essential when you have beagles - the guy from whatever company suggested to her that she might want to install a larger gate for a riding mower to pass through. She said no, she expected her husband to mow the lawn with a mower.

Which is fine with me. I think mowing the yawn should be a chore that feels like a chore.

We have a large yard & an electric mower, which is quite heavy, because of its giant battery. We had to buy an extra battery because of the length of time it takes to mow both the front & back of the house. It stopped working last week so we borrowed the neighbor's gas mower to mow the lawn today. Two observations: a, the electric is quieter, & b, it cuts better.

Oh yeah, I spent the day mowing the lawn. That's why I'm going on about it.
