does it get any more pathetic than this?

"For Jay Torres, the hardest part of California's devastating drought wasn't the shorter showers or the fact that he couldn't wash his car. It was looking at his lawn, which withered and died when he cut back on watering. So he got creative. The San Bernardino resident hired someone to paint his grass green."

I guess when THEIR lawns are brown they spray all kinds of crap on it without giving it a second thought.

But when the rest of America wants a simple gas can so they can fill their lawnmowers with out having to take apart an 8 piece defective pour spout, and spilling gas all over their lawn, we can't have it.

We have to go buy a malfunctioning $30 plastic gas vault.

also Californians can deplete massive water resources, this is not an environmental concern- actually we must preserve the view for the Napa Valley residents by inventing a new category of Rain Forest.

it's pathetic.

Maybe one day filling your yard with rocks will be the in thing, and they'll want to be so effin cool. Just like arizonians

When the summer browns out my yard, so it doesn't need mowed anymore, I look at it like a gift from the gods

What kind of asshole can't find anything better to do with their time, than manicure their fucking grass?

Seiously. If we lived in a free country, id rip up my entire acres worth of grass, and replace it with pretty marijuana plants. And id be all green as it gets. But liberals are morons, so we wind up with spray paint on dead grass. Wrap your head around that

Grass yards are for ASSHOLES!

All the time wasted keeping it tidy
All the chemicals intentionally bought at exhorbitant prices, which were shipped around by big dirty diesel hogs, and then spread all over what could be naturally beautiful, nature
All the money the ASSHOLES waste on mowers and weedwhackers.
All the fossil fuels they burn
All the polution they create

How green of you, morons

Me too my lawn has been brown for the last three summers.

This year it has rained everyday the City put a note on my door one day because my lawn grew 10 inches in only two weeks. It rained every day and I didn't cut it.

California has been in the Loony Bin long before Obama came along.

My push reel mower works just fine in the rain and wet grass. It uses no gasoline, and it's good exercise too. I don't understand why so many people are too fucking lazy to use one.

Personally, I'm not too lazy. Hell, id prefer to use a push reel mower. But I've never seen one with a 48" reel and I don't have five hours to push mow an acre with a reel mower

I've heard people say "mowing is good exercise" to which I always reply, I get plenty better exercise, that doesn't involve walking at a slowish pace, breathing in the exhaust fumes from a small motor

The people I see using them, do tend to have the nicest yards

We have sugar sand so those skinny wide wheels would just sink right on in.
Unless they are much lighter than I remember them as a kid.

Why not be productive and grow food? Or, plant some pine trees and bushes and lower your heating/cooling costs, and wake up on Saturday to the smell of pine needles.
