Deliberately put your lawn through the joys of steroid abuse, smoking, drinking, malnutrition all the things I was told when I was young that would stunt my growth, hence stunting the lawns growth and eliminating the need to mow.

In my youth, goats did the dirty work. They were fun to "pet" in between the area where their horns were being formed, and eventually would be proudly worn. The fight over what to name the females, 'cept Nanny, were fun too. Sorry, must boo this one.

or you could take the drugs yourself and then you would stop caring how long your lawn got

this is what astroturf is for... bun for the semi-logical-yet-absurd line of thought anyway

nicotine used to be a pesticide back in the '50s. I doubt the farmers would want their crops sprayed with the stuff if it stunted their crops. They eventually quit using it because it would hang in the air, the pilots would breathe it, and then become euphoric and crash.

I'd imagine if you inhaled it in the quantities and concentrations used as pesticide, it would have an effect a bit stronger than a few cigarettes.

[bwv61]My friend's father encountered this problem. He didn't die, but he wasn't sure why it was so hard to land

Exactly. Hamsters on speed are known to be horrific pilots. So bad, in fact, I've never heard of a hamster on speed land an aircraft and survive.

Baaaahh, you old slave driver....

[zanzibar] It's a fact. I can't tell you exactly why nicotine was pulled from the market, but the pilots complained about it. Watching a cropduster work, you can see the spray/dust hang in the air. Aircraft come back with droplets all over the wings and streaks down the fuselage. I have no doubts that they inhaled the nicotine, nor do I have any doubts that the nicotine caused them to be light-headed and impaired their ability to fly.

Nothing stunts a lawn like lack of water.
