[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[pathfinderq1]

Generally the rake gets used after the shovel, as raking the freshly turned earth helps flatten it back out, and helps the grass seed set up- thus making it harder to tell that something has been buried there. Not that I know anything about such matters...

 

[Scotley]

Lime is good for making grass grow too. It has other benefits in this situation as well...

Excuse me for interrupting this fascinating diatribe on unorthodox uses of garden tools, but...

Is military gear allowed in the thirteenth ward?? In the spirit of making preparations, and all...

I believe there to be a statement on the wiki about this (there should be, anyway), that says that anything further underground than the Understreets (which will include all of the 13th) is considered to be outside Lauralie Summerhome for "weapon-toting" purposes. I seem to remember the phrase "break out the two-handers" being used by Scotley in this context.... So-o-o-o-o-o-o, the Short Answer to your question is YES!

Oh, and THANK YOU for interrupting the dissertation on gardening implements!

You amateurs, use sod! Seed takes too long. And you need to use the rake to spread the excess soil back into the other parts of the lawn evenly. Depending upon how large an object you bury, you have a equal size displacement of soil. Can't have a tell-tale mound now can we.

 

[Leif]

Are we playing DND, or discussing landscaping? SHEEESH!

 

[Lou]

Go for it. I can think of an interesting use for an axe, a wheelbarrow and a shovel--in that order.

The rake I'll have to think about.

Scotley is clearly talking about cutting firewood, moving the cut wood, and then shovelling ashes from a fireplace....

You could use the rake to spread the ashes out as fertilizer in your garden.

What other uses could Scotley have possibly been contemplating?

BTW, how was the Elvis anniversary party? I hear that it's been HOT in Memphis. Houston has been having minor flooding from tropical depression Erin.

Ok That's It!!

THAT'S ENOUGH ABOUT TOOLS!!! (And Weather? Who honestly talks about the weather??) I thought we were seriously playing DND here. Give me a small break already!

Somebody remind me, who started this tool thing anyway?

Elvis week was the biggest since he died. New record crowds. Fortunately, I don't live or work near Graceland. I won't tell you how ridiculously hot it is here lest we annoy my fellow DM.

Ok, ok, ok, I started it. But it's DEAD now, isn't it? (Much llike Elvis, might I add! That joke died naked on the toilet, too.) Anyway, I think my "spell" is over for the moment. Sorry guys. :\

And, I doubt if it's any hotter in Memphis than it is in Jonesboro.
