BoingBoing article on american lawns

Two great quotes from an article that, if anything, ended too soon, just before going from great to fantastic:
http://boingboing.net/2014/05/07/the-revenge-of-the-lawn.html

"(Parenthetically, I have to wonder if the fashion trend away from the untamed hippie bush, in American women, to depilated porn-star pubes is yet more evidence of our neurotic fear of wild things, an android mons for a CGI world.)"

"A vestigial remnant of the more strenuous masculinity of pre-industrial days, mowing the lawn, like manning the backyard grill, was Viagra for overstressed executives and working stiffs alike, putting suburban men in touch (if only symbolically) with their manlier sides."
