Halloween III

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man: Halloween III

Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, will be dressing-up as himself again this Halloween. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a caped-crusader working tirelessly to promote yard safety awareness and to rescue individuals from getting hurt.

Great Falls, Virginia -- October 23, 2006 -- Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, will be dressing-up as himself again this Halloween. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a caped-crusader working tirelessly to promote yard safety awareness and to rescue individuals from getting hurt. He will be going trick-or-treat from house-to-house, to share his Halloween treats - his yard safety awareness message.

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." - Act ii, Sc. 5, Twelfth Night, William ShakespearePeter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. Bruce Wayne was transformed by the tragic death of his parents. The Fantastic Four were bombarded with Cosmic Rays. For Richard Mudrinich, of Great Falls, Virginia, greatness came in the form of a lawn mower accident.

"As a show of support for yard safety awareness and a tribute to all those people who have gotten hurt, including severe amputations, I encourage both children and adults to dress-up as yard safety super heroes - a Halloween costume with a social purpose. In essence, I want to blast my yard safety message to create awareness so that people do not get hurt. Halloween is a great way for everyone to play yard safety super hero for a day. Also, my Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Bobble Head Doll provides a year-round reminder of yard safety awareness," shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

"In the fall, individuals often use their lawn mowers to mulch fallen leaves. The slippery leaves contribute to the increased risk of a lawn mower accident," cautions Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man. "Watch out for sticks and objects hidden by the leaves as well as slippery slopes. Halloween affords yet another fun time to share the preventive yard safety message in another unique way."

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a renaissance yardman, utilizing various art forms to communicate his safety message. "I want to educate and entertain the general public regarding the importance of yard safety. Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in life-altering outcomes that sometimes include amputation. I learned this from first-hand experience when I amputated part of my left foot while cutting the grass," shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from the dreaded experience associated with yard accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yard accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. According to Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, "Think before you cut. It hurts. I encourage you to heed the outdoor power equipment safety precautions and to promote home and family safety."

Bobble Head Doll

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man really enjoys baseball. I wish that Major League Baseball would designate June 21st (First Day of Summer) as Yard Safety Awareness Day (tm) at all MLB ball parks, including the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Bobble Head Doll (tm) as a yard safety promotional item. I dream of pushing my toy lawn mower before a packed stadium and broadcasted via the scoreboard to all Major League Baseball parks. Also, I have created a commemorative Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Bobble Head Doll for the World Series. Ironically, I now have nine toes - one for each inning of a regulation professional baseball game.

MLB Playoffs

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a big fan of Major League Baseball. Actually, I wish that MLB would celebrate Yard Safety Awareness Day at all ballparks. The manicured ballyards offer a natural venue to disseminate the yard safety awareness message. In the meantime, I offer my predictions on the outcomes of this MLB playoff season.

American League Champion: Detroit Tigers
National League Champion: New York Mets
World Series Winner: Detroit Tigers

I grew-up near Pittsburgh and have been a Pirates fan my whole life. Jim Leyland is a great coach. Also, as a kid, I was a fan of legendary Mark "The Bird" Fidrych of the Detroit Tigers who made an impact at the advent of free-agency. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man would like to meet The Bird someday. Nonetheless, I lived in New York City for about a decade, and I grew to appreciate both the Yankees and the Mets. Since I think that the Detroit Tigers are destined to win the World Series, the Mets will take second place. In short, Gods knows who will win. In the meantime, I will enjoy admiring the manicured ballyard turf in October.

Once again, I pray for Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man to make an appearance at the World Series. I could spread the yard safety awareness message to millions of people.

Unique Glory

God has a plan for each individual. He provided each person with unique talents. Throughout my life, many people have referred to me as a real character. Furthermore, I have had several character building experiences. After my lawn mower accident, I realized that God assigned me to become a yard safety super hero. Actually, I am the first yard safety super hero in the history of the world. Every day, I seek to glorify God by promoting yard safety awareness. My unique talent is to educate and entertain individuals regarding yard safety. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a conduit to do the work of God. I do not want other people to get hurt. Think before you cut. It hurts on many levels.
