paving = no grass cutting. looks kinda funny though. astro turf is where its at though...no cutting and it looks good. i dont recommend playing football on it though, turf burn is not something that you want to experience...

My neighbor apparently feels the same way, his grass is now 3 feet high with a variety of weeds that are even taller.

basically... here is the shortened version----

long grass is the breeding ground for mice, snakes, ticks, rabbits, foxes, orangatans, ground sloths, fruit bats, caterpillars, rats... and so on. A lot of things people dont like.

cutting grass keeps things out of our yards and away from us. Hundreds of years ago when the first lawns were mowed it was actually a means of safety too.. People wouldnt have to worry about Tigers leaping out of the tall grass in the front yard and eating them if there was no tall grass to hide in. Since then its just become customary and tradition.

deep inside, we're all still afraid of what lurks in the tall grass--- so cutting grass is just our human survival instinct.

IRC discussion about your post:

<incallisto> Take a look at Rallispecs post... HAHAH
<aznst4lker> Ground Sloths are gentle, creative pets!! I have a few in my yard.. They only attack people who call for them. But dont worry, they wont arrive for approximately one year from the date you called them. That leaves plenty of time to run away or feed them a LOT of hotdogs [there favorite foods]. They usually just vomit on you and laugh, albeit slowly. Organgatans(whatever] are vicious beasts. They will pull out your hair and vomit on your ground sloth. Sad, but true.
<corrupt> damn........ that was psychotic

Really.

Why cut your hair? It's just going to grow back too.
Why bathe? You'll just stink again tomorrow.
Why gas up the car? You'll just burn it up anyway.
Why have doors on your house? You just gotta open and close them all damn day.

I hear ya, buddy.

My parents' neighbor has a rock garden (with plants in it) in front of his house so he doesn't have to mow the lawn. It actually looks really good and he spends just as much time taking care of it, but at least it's not grass.
