How many of those do you have? Are they so you can show off your blood stains on your knives? :innocent:

Nope, I guess I'm just THAT paranoid.

Tanning at midnight is phenomenal, though. ;)

I'd heard about the one that went down in Argyle. Scary stuff considering how much time I spent near similar lights during high school.

So if one fell and landed on a drill team, would that make them pole dancers?

Nope. Read the notice: "As the manufacturer has become bankrupt,..." There's no one to sue. I think they went of of business as Whitco, Inc. and reorganized as Whitco Poles, Inc. or something like that. They're here in town; I've been by there.

Apparently so, since the town gets so much Flintstones email due to it's name.

"The majority of incidents occurred in Texas"

I wonder if someone is sending a message.

Just that the poles came from the middle of Texas, so.... most of them were put up around where they came from I think.
