Plot

SpongeBob operating a reef blower at Squidward.
SpongeBob operating a reef blower at Squidward.

Squidward walks outside and sees a shell on his lawn. He believes that it ruins the appearance of his lawn, so he pretends to accidentally kick it onto SpongeBob's lawn. Suddenly, SpongeBob pops out of his window and sees the shell. He also believes that it ruins the appearance of his lawn, so he gets his "reef blower" (an underwater version of a leaf blower) out of his garage. He turns it on, much to the annoyance of Squidward. Squidward plugs his ears and SpongeBob struggles to blow the shell away. Frustrated, he blows a large column of sand onto Squidward. To fix this problem, SpongeBob blows the sand off, which irritates Squidward's eyes. SpongeBob peers over at his sidewalk and sees a pile. A subtitle "You" appears as SpongeBob points at the pile. He then sucks the pile of sand into the reef blower, which malfunctions. The sand and a few mechanical gears blow out. So, SpongeBob unzips the reef blower and puts them in himself. When the reef blower refuses to start, SpongeBob pulls the cord to an extreme distance and it finally starts. However, it sucks in all of the water. The reef blower then explodes, leaving piles of sand all over Squidward's lawn, while SpongeBob's lawn is perfectly clean. Satisfied, SpongeBob goes back inside, while the shell lands on Squidward's nose. Image File history File links Reef_Blower. ... Image File history File links Reef_Blower. ...

leaf blower: Information From Answers.com (535 words)
Leaf blowers are usually powered by two-stroke engine or an electric motor, but four-stroke engines were recently introduced to partially address air pollution concerns.
Leaf blowers are typically self contained handheld units, or backpack mounted units with a handheld wand.
Soon after the leaf blower was introduced into the U.S. its use was banned in two California cities, Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1975 and Beverly Hills in 1978, as a noise nuisance.
AquaCave - Detail (89 words)
The Whitewater® Blowers are a very good value for aquariums, pet stores, bait systems, and seafood holding systems.
They are smaller, lighter, and quieter than most blowers and very energy efficient.
Blowers are 115V/60 Hz and include a 6' power cord.
