Burning leaves also smell good. Sadly can’t do that here anymore.

Does the yard have a pimple?

Keep 911 on speed dial.

Bob makes a mental note not to annoy his neighbor.

why are the green leaves falling again?

Doesn’t work with my pine needles they’re too quick

Probably much quieter, too. Leaf blowers are one of the most annoying devices ever invented (and a waste of gas for the non-electric type)

Watch me take this fence down!

…and theres the occasional trick shot when a bird flies by. What, what, I’m kiddin’, I’m kiddin’!

Cool. You do you dude. But if you burn down my house, I’m gonna light you up.

At about $4/gallon – I think not.

just gotta be careful not to set wanted things on fire, accidently.

It’s about time someone went vigilante on Fall!!

Keep that flamethrower handy for melting all of the snow come winter!

In other news, Pete the Pyro was sentenced to 10 years in prison for burning down his own house. Sources say he just couldn’t leaf things alone.

Huh. I see Dalcon, but not Bleeb. Good camouflage!

About your cat in my tree, sorry!

It can also be used against spiders in the bathroom.

I don’t think they’re quite ripe yet…

I suggested doing just that to get rid of the leaves of the three large maple trees in our yard. My wife is such a spoilsport!

He didn’t burn Bleeb up yet – Bleep is at the bend in the fence

Yah. I remember raking them int big piles and putting foil wrapped potatoes into the pile and lighting it on fire. After all the leaves burned down we would have baked potatoes. MMMMMMM

Hmm he seems to enjoy it a little bit TOO much.

Of course (you lame colorist) if they’re green they’re harder to ignite. And they probably wouldn’t be on the ground raked into a pile, either.

The neighbor’s thinking, ‘What in blazes?’.

YAY!!!!! Bleeb! Next we’re doing smores! :)

Bleeb seems somewhat agitated.

His wife should be standing nearby with a fire extinguisher.

Ignoring the microparticules, the co2, and the inevitable insurance denial

“I don’t wanna set the world on fire….” (a 40s song)

Some. Things. Sure. Can. Sweep. Me. Off. My. Feet.

Burning Down the House!

Don’t wait for them to fall. Just light them up on the tree.
