Well, think about this one! Some time back I saw an item on TV about
some ding-a-ling in California that sprayed his entire car with glue.
Then, he blasted it with grass seed, and let the glue set. Next, he
watered the seed and in a week, he had a green car, with inch long
hair everywhere.

They showed a shot of it on TV, it looked like he had upholstered
it with a green carpet. Quite original, I must say! Yup, no one else
has one like THAT one!

.....and I would like to see it when it came time to mow! Maybe he
gets out the sheep shears.
