Serious answer: make sure you cut no more than 1/4 of the length of the blade each week and the grass will actually thicken up and thrive.....


.....and stop smoking crack. It makes baby Jesus cry.

Are you 12?

"Hurting the grass" is more like a 4-year-old thing...

I think you should stop eating both plants and animals, because you don't want to hurt either.

How would you feel if every week someone came by and nailed you with a 1/4 wide piece of steel at 100 MPH? Ofcourse the grass is sad, don't you see the tears on some mornings still on them?

Supposely, you need to mow the lawn frequently, if you let it grow, it hurts the grass more.

Last time I checked, "grass" was classified as being a "plant". These "plant" things, are organic, but differ from those that are called "animals". Plants lack what we call a "central nervous system." In fact, they do not even have a brain! Because they do not have a brain, it is obvious that they are incapable of both thoughts and feelings. Thus, the grass is not harmed upon mowwing.

And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun,
I started humping volcano's baby when I was too young,
I started surfing the madhouse, and I decided to stay,
I got an itch in my cosmic pocket and it won't go away,

Instead of dragging your swamp for your lost love
Come to me I'm your living crop circle...yeah

Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a peach in the sun,
I'll curl you up in my flame pit baby until your way over done,
I came up from the ground, I came down from the sky,
And I'm grabbing her knees like a worm with a mission,
Cause I'm made out of salt and I'm made out of coal,
And I live like a king in a ?

Instead of 'make you a man'; 'make you a monkey'
Throw your head in the living crop circle

And the wheels of the lawnmower are like a massage.

That's a good way to think of it. So really it's like a day at the spa for the grass?
