Haven't you ever left a part of your lawn covered for a few days by something like a garbage can, kid's toys, a tent, pinball glass etc. in the Summer? We usually learn about air & water requirements from the results of that. Looks like you did today.
I know what to expect from my kids swing set slide covering grass for days at a time... But this was on my lawn for 2 hours! That's it!
Yes, I got good flat plastics out of it. So I can say it does work well... for plastics at least.
Facepalm indeed.
The look your mother gives you when you decide to pickup your homemade black plastic slip and slide. 
Quoted from robbiedoo:Between two pinball glass, they said. It's the best way, they said.
Sure, you end up with good flat plastics, but no one mentioned what it does to your lawn! (Not to mention your wife's reaction!)Ugh! Hindsight is 20/20! I facepalm myself in embarrassment.

Was that two hours measured in Metric/SI units? 
Amazing how short and mild your Summer season is. Kinda like just about all of the Western US where I was the past two weeks. No flies or mosquitoes. Snakes, fire ants & scorpions though.
Well, it's not so mild sometimes... for about a week a year I would love to have air conditioning.
Quoted from Sly_Old_Devil:That's one big playfield plastic, what was it?
It was for 3 plastics, but they weren't as big as the pinball glass... I just put them between 2 pinball's glass to make them flat.
...and to kill 2 sq. meters of my lawn.
...and to give my wife something more to hold over my head! Seriously though, she finds it hilarious.

Quoted from ranchdrsn:I would highly doubt it's beyond growing back. Just water it and it will be fine. Next time put your plastics under the broiler set at high.
Lawn tips on PinSide. Is this a great group or what?!

I recently unloaded a bed full of mulch from my pickup truck into the flower bed in front of my house.... Its a big bed and so i had to reposition the truck many times to get it to diff parts of the bed. I used 4x4 and was very careful not to tear up the grass.... Managed to do the whole thing without tearing up the grass.
Fast forward a couple days and there are all kinds of dead spots all over the front lawn.... I guess the cold water dripping off the A/C of the truck killed the grass.... Damn it.
You have to think out of the box on this one Robbie. At least now you have a perfect template for burying the family pet in.
Quoted from robbiedoo:Sure, you end up with good flat plastics, but no one mentioned what it does to your lawn! (Not to mention your wife's reaction!)
Your wife cares about the grass in the yard?
I was gunna say. People are joking about painting the lawn, but some people actually do.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:They actually have lawn spray paint...
A mate did a similar thing with his AFM plastics but used the farmers field next door, caused a bit of a stink though as the farmer thought it was the end of the world, I mean jeez it was just a few pinball plastics for Pete's sake 
Moral of the story....use someone else's backyard and blame the aliens
Quoted from robbiedoo:Her reaction has more to do with laughing at what I did... it seems I'm always up to something!
Keeps her on her toes.
