I always love when your adoring fans call you an ugly hillbilly redneck freak.
It's like when they call Pixie fat or something - the cluelessness is just delicious.

We have to rake acorns this weekend. There are a kajillion of them in my yard.
You could just get a goat. Mine loved acorns.
The only problem with that is instead of acorns, you'd have a kajillion goat poop balls.

Leaf Management - that is a good term!
I live where most houses have 1.5 to 2 acres, so some people do burn their leaves. My neighbor just loooooves to have a burn pile going every few days. Sticks, twigs, leaves, whatever he can put in that pile in the back yard and set on fire. I think it is a cultural thing. But at least their is room. The house we rented for a year in Waldorf was right on Rt 925 pretty close to Billingsley Rd. Our house was 25 feet from our neighbor's house, and they raked a pile of leaves right in between our houses and burned them there. Scared the crap out of me!
Where I live now I bag most of the leaves with my riding mower and dump them "in the woods" on my property. I can't leave them until all the leaves have fallen, or my bagger would be full every 8 feet. I rake leaves out from the corners of the house/fence/etc, and use the leaf blower/sucker in the bushes near the house. It is a pain, and all told probably consumes 50 hours each fall/winter.

If you're going to get a leaf blower, I recommend a backpack like this one. Echo Backpack Leaf Blower PB260 at Epinions.com I keep mine on the lowest speed when clearing leaves out of flowerbeds, and blast it when handling volume. Great for gutters and post-lawn mowing, too. And no shoulder pain.
Best in small jobs, not big ones (as Vrai said). Especially if you've fertilized or over-seeded. Goal is to take the leaves away, not the fertilizer/seeds too. I live near the woods, so have to use it often. Love it!
