Blackbelt92 Jun 08, 2006	good one. Like someone said before, it is kind of misleading, which makes it somewhat hard. I still wonder why a simple lawn mower didnt come to mind...
jimbooth019 Sep 05, 2008	Great teaser. I found it easy and didn't read the hint until I read the explanation then I went back and read your hint, It was really good too. Thanks.
bradon182001 Sep 05, 2008	Nice teaser Bo, I got it right away because it made perfect sense. Thanks for posting.
emu77alu02 Sep 05, 2008	Am I getting smarter, or are these teasers just getting easier? Good teaser!
MurfQ Sep 05, 2008	Excellent! Can't believe I missed that.
doehead Sep 05, 2008	Just had an operation.Glad to come back to an easy one.
wordmama Sep 05, 2008	I rarely get riddles, and this one I got immediately, no hint! Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, as my younger students like to say!!
Araglas Sep 05, 2008	"always wins"? Ever run a lawn mower over a thick area of long grass where the glass blades tangle up in the mower blades and stop the mower? Chuckle.....if one wants to be picky about things....but I thought it was wonderful riddle!
GebbieRose Sep 05, 2008	Clever and classic!

auntiesis Sep 06, 2008	Easy, but cute. Thanks
zonahobo Sep 06, 2008	Thanks for the positive comments folks. This was more of a teaser "snack." I'm glad it was enjoyed as one.
dalfamnest Aug 20, 2010	Great riddle, thanks. I thought it was GRASS at first ... living in the tropics, you realise how the grass and other plant life eventually take over from their foe - the constructions of man! many old buildings lie low now, covered by the plants they once suffocated.
Babe Sep 05, 2011	Easy, but good. I like easy!
GreenApples27 Sep 05, 2011	That's a great one. For some silly reason I assumed you were talking about the measurement "yard" rather than a backyard. Threw me off a bit!
gaylewolf Sep 05, 2011	Easy but a good teaser - thanks! Happy Labor Day - and relax! Hi to KiPA and Sis!
HABS2933 Sep 05, 2011	Good teaser, even if it was a bit easy. Didn't read the hint until after though, not that it would have helped as I have a manual mower.
doehead Sep 05, 2011	AROB, and if it wasn't raining I would be firing mine up. Happy holiday to GiMi & AS.
auntiesis Sep 05, 2011	Too easy, but cute because I don't have to use one. Hi Gayle & K, Happy holiday.
Mandy7 Sep 05, 2011	that wuz easy, but fun!!!! Hapy Labor Day All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
