Grass

Apparently Canada's major contribution to the World Cup (for those who follow soccer - sorry football) is grass.  The question is: What kind of grass are we talking about?  Is it the kind you smoke?  The kind you walk on that is often, but not always, green and growing in your front and back yards?  Is it edible by humans, as in wheat grass, or by ruminants (you know cows, goats, sheep) only as in the grass that grows wild in pastures?  Why would they put down perfectly good grass - assuming it's the lawn kind - on a sports field only to have it trashed by umpteen feet trampling it when they could put down real immitation faux grass (isn't that a form of pate?)?  Come to think of it, maybe it's better that the grass gets trampled rather than people (as has happened recently).  What happens if they don't water it?  Grass gets brown, crunchy and then quite grotty, especially when it sticks to sweaty bodies, making said bodies not only sweaty, but also dirty with bits of dead brown grass sticking to it.  If, on the other hand, it's in a pasture, then nobody will care if it's green or brown, certainly not the critters that chew on it - and we're not talking footballers - well, ok, maybe if they land on the grass face down often enough they could. They would, of course have to also dodge natural fertilizer left behind by said ruminants, but that's a minor detail. This whole faceplant thing would work for them only if it turned out to be wheat grass.  Which reminds me.  Isn't that a bit repetitive given that wheat already is a grass?  Oh wait. That's only to distinguish it from, say, lemon grass, or even - dare we say it, oh why not - pot.  At least I think it is.  Then again maybe not. So how does one get grass from lemons, just as a side question? If, as it turns out, Canada's contribution is the smoking kind (as in pot, weed, whatever the current term is for it now), then how come people in Canada can't have it.  Will it become a new exportable product?  Aren't there enough people in that particular import/export business that Canada doesn't have to?  Do we really want to know this?  Do we really care?  This inquiring mind certainly doesn't.  Until next time.
