1) Am I infatuated with an inanimate object? 2) Post your infatuations with inanimate objects.

I've come to realize that l'm infatuated with grass........the kind used in front lawns and playing fields. I think it stems from being a golfer.
I take pictures of it while watching soccer......... (exhibit A)



and I worry about it when it's in bad shape.(exhibit B)
I could think of nothing other than the pitch during this game.



I've just ordered a yearly maintenance package from the landscaping company
that originally hydro-seeded my front lawn. (hydro-seeding is god)

But is grass inanimate?

Definition of INANIMATE

: not animate:a : not endowed with life or spiritb : lacking consciousness or power of motion


Obviously grass is alive but I would think it lacks consciousness.
Anyway if you're infatuated with an inanimate object you now have company and a place to vent.

Yes.

First off I realize this is somewhat apples and oranges but I'm basically talking about entertainment value here. The fact that they are both called football helps.

In no particular order…


Field of play
The grass is greener. For me part of the viewing experience is based on natural turf.
It's simply more pleasurable to look at a natural green turf as compared to artificial turf.
Yes some of the new turfs are better aesthetically but you can't beat the real thing
There are those that say artificial turf brings more certainty to the game, a "level" playing field if you will.
I say balderdash to that. Some of the best football games ever have been played under horrible field conditions on natural turf.

It could also stem from you being a drunk. You spend enough time with your face planted in the grass and you're bound to grow some type of infatuation with it.
