Profile of Weed Wacker People

Passenger plane
From front to back, Sam, Ben, and Moe.

We live(ed) near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on a farm called Homer's Happy Hog Farm.  We do have parents, so it's not like we are running completely wild or anything (except for Moe), but they are only minor players.

Sam

"I like basketball, working on the farm, running track, and building stuff.  I rule my brothers with an iron fist despite the constant mutiny.  With the aid of Ben (and sometimes Moe, if I threaten him) I have built two tree houses, an under ground fort (kind of), eight R/C airplanes, countless implements for the lawn mower, and hundreds of other little projects I can't remember.  I want to build a real airplane someday regardless of what my mom says."

Sam, 23, was homeschooled from 4th grade through high school.  He suddenly disappeared after graduating from Iowa State with a degree in aerospace engineering.  We suspect he may be working for an inferior construction equipment company.  He also has a private pilot license and about 90 hours of flight time.

Larry and Moe

      "Ben (also known as Larry) likes to drive cars, airplanes, tractors, anything that has wheels or wings.  He has made it clear that his main goal in life is to own a BD-5j.  I keep trying to talk him out of it but he will not listen.  Ben is fearless when it comes to flying R/C airplanes.  He isn't afraid of reducing his airplanes or anyone else's for that matter into rubble.  I would hate to see what would happen if Larry got his grubby little hands on a BD-5."

Ben ,21, was homeschooled from 2nd grade through high school.  He has a private pilot license with an accumulated flight time of around 110 hours.  Ben is currently a senior in aerospace engineering at  Iowa State University.

Moe

      Moe (AKA Luke AKA Brick AKA Moemeyer) is the opposite of Sam and Ben; he likes turtles, slimy things, and offering advise on subjects he knows nothing about.  For these reasons he is the best candidate for riding in the Weed Wacker plane.

Moe,  generally between the ages of 8 and 18, has been homeschooled for the better part of his existence on this planet.  No information is available as to what he may have been doing prior to the time when our parents purchased him at a "blue light special."  We do, however, believe he may have been some sort of disgruntled wildlife researcher (as evinced by his current fascination with bunny hunting).
