  1. Adam says:

    no comments? First? Maybe. also, lol

  2. Mookie says:

    Late term abortion?

  3. Soulcrun says:

    Nice one!

  4. Philip says:

    Who’s to say that they don’t add to the fun?

  5. Mookie says:

    What, no quicksand?

  6. DrB says:

    I think they’ve taken the behaviour re-education to the next level.

  7. Twisted says:

    woohoo im one of the first to post

    • Muckrak3r says:

      that’s like walking up to an office party birthday cake, taking the 20th piece, and shouting with joy because you were able to get some cake. Here’s news for you, those cakes suck, those office parties suck, and the 1st through the last piece of that cake will be consumed standing around pretending to enjoy the company of others while they return that favor. Not fun, nothing to brag about, and the rest of us sure do not give a crap.

      • Cloral says:

        Wow. Your office must suck! Birthdays at my office are always enjoyable and the cake is tasty.

        Maybe you should talk to your HR person about all those personal issues you seem to have. He or she might be able to recommend a good therapist.

      • Twisted says:

        well when i first saw this there was only 2 comments. then when this page loaded there was 12 comments. and i never got the opportunity before! and i don’t like cake anyways.

  8. DrB says:

    Mookie, just don’t eat the apple, baby.

  9. Achul says:

    Playground these days..they don’t know how to be humble. What’s next?

  10. JasonK says:

    I wouldn’t be too harsh. Maybe the playground was created before this became a habitat for rattlesnakes.

  11. Durg says:

    Aww i wanna play there! poison oak is fun! all the itching, and the scratching, and you can play connect the dots with the bumps!!!

  12. apple juice says:

    Wow. Just…wow.

  13. Kumquat says:

    This isn’t a fail.. its our patented “Pervert Trap.” The perverts go in to stare at the little children playing (the children are fake…but very well made.. much like the creepy wax figures of the jonas brothers (which are also in thereto attract the perverts)) Then we send the rattlesnakes after them, see if they ever go back to their child porn after the snake bites THIER snake off… i know, its ingenious..

  14. Sidhe Cat says:

    Now we know what was in the pit from the fail a few weeks ago.
    .
    (How was your B-day, Moomin?
    Did you see my clicky on the Cat’s Hit fail?)

    • The Moomin says:

      *Squeeze*
      I just went back and had a look.
      Thankyou for the B-day song.

      • kannadzuki says:

        Oh no, I missed your birthday thread and you’re one of my favourite posters. A belated happy birthday to you, and have a tentative *squeeze* though I’m not sure we’re on *squeeze*ing terms yet…

  15. Terapyn says:

    Ok, gotta say that when I was a kid twenty something years ago, I played in ditches, in the woods, and had a blast – even when a cottonmouth kept me and a friend up a tree for a few hours, lol. Hey, kids gotta learn sometime about snakes. My son’s 3 and we’re already teaching him… :)

    • Muckrak3r says:

      in the shower?

      • EtymologicalDisaster says:

        Unless you’re referring to the trouser variety of snake, I’d guess most showers are relatively reptile-free…

    • WickedStepmother says:

      When I was a kid fifty something years ago, I lived and played near the AFB in Sweetwater, Texas. Yes, the Sweetwater where they have the rattlesnake roundup every year. But, it was ok because they put a big chain link fence between base housing (24 houses) and the vast desert expanse where the Roundup took place. :)

      People found rattlers big and small in garages, dresser drawers (surprise!), while mowing the yard, etc. And, kids were pretty well educated in matters of snakebite avoidance.

      However, the desert outside the fence remained a much more interesting place to play than the tiny playground we had.

      I love “when I was a kid” threads.

  16. philip says:

    bladder shakes and growing steaks?!?!?!?!

  17. JImm SoMo says:

    Wow, nothing like a little rattle snake bite to ruin the day!

  18. mrs_z says:

    And lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! (Not to mention lawyers.)

  19. Sparky says:

    I don’t see any kids in this pic, so I think this situation is working the way it was meant to. Kids don’t belong on playgrounds; they belong indoors playing video games. Too much exercise and fresh air…not good.

  20. paulWTAMU says:

    A playground for bad children?

    • Sparky says:

      Or a way of testing a child’s reading skills. A zero-tolerance approach. Kind of harsh, but probably very effective.

      • Chaz Festerbottom says:

        “Mommy? What does that sign back there say?”
        *hissing*
        *bites are imminent*

      • EtymologicalDisaster says:

        Yes. I see it now! This is how one enterprising school district is attempting to enforce the “No Child Left Behind” requirements. A most elegant solution!

  21. RankMyTyping says:

    Not to worry people, the poison oak should take care of the rattlesnakes.

  22. CommanderJohnHershman says:

    That place is totally safe.

    ( I pick up a Rattle snake in a oak tree)

    Perfectly safe.

  23. Sparky says:

    “When I got to the bottom I went back to the top of the slide
    Where I stopped and got bit by a rattler; I cried.
    Then I got poison oak; I HATE BEING OUTSIDE!!
    Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah!!!”

  24. Right On says:

    one of these has to go (Playground or Sign). I know which one is cheaper to remove.

  25. Steph says:

    Seems fake to me. The wooden pole changes thickness and color about halfway…

  26. woods says:

    That was awfully nice of someone to build a playground for children of the rattlesnake people. Its about time someone did something for them.

  27. lnzprojects says:

    Kids will be mutants in 2 minutes…and counting!

  28. Si1versmith says:

    Wait, this is a playground for the RATTLESNAKES…..

    KIDS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE……or HUGH JACKMAN

  29. WickedStepmother says:

    This is my favorite place to bring the kids.

    There’s an embedded win here but I don’t know how to say it succinctly. Or even succinctly say it. But the win is something about life providing you with an opportunity to look good (like a good mother, for example) while doing something that fulfills that little vengeful place inside so you feel all warm and fuzzy AND nobody can point fingers and accuse you of being bad. Maybe not a happy Pollyanna-type win, but a win nonetheless.

    Is there a way to briefly and concisely convey that with humor? (And to all the haters who’ll imply it’s not worth saying, you’ll just be redundant if you say so after reading this.)

  30. chez says:

    Are they warning the kids about the rattlesnakes or the rattlesnakes about the kids?

  31. Jaimi says:

    I used to live near that park!! =O

  32. Onion says:

    What a waste, in my days you had to find out on your own, it filtered out the weak and built character.

  33. InvisibleShadow says:

    Exciting! I never has a playground that cool where i lived.

  34. Sarah says:

    Hah, I used to live near that park. Plenty of poison oak, but i never saw any snakes.

  35. Phyl says:

    I live in Northern California and several of the playgrounds around here have signs like this. Around here, if you see a rock, you can guess there’s a rattlesnake under it. And yes, they send out animal control whenever someone actually sees one. I’ve seen the inmates from the state prison in orange jumpsuits working at the park and I guess they’d be the ones cleaning out the poison oak. Which is oh so NOT reassuring, I know. Maybe the sign should read snakes, poison oak, and convicted felons.

    • Goldenthrush says:

      We have them in Southern CA, too, on playgrounds and at some of the schools. It’s always interesting to drive in and see the school custodian wandering off the basketball court with a deceased Mojave Green rattler in his hand.

      Not so many convicted felons or poison oak, though.

  36. paulWTAMU says:

    I don’t know if this particular sign is legit or not, but I should mention that I have seen playgrounds with similar signs. Heck, I found a little Crotalus viridus on the field the local little leauge kids play ball on ;) God bless Texas!

  37. Wendy says:

    Is this in Chico?

  38. NO TO REGROUPING says:

    I’m sure the parents who let their kids play three are great! I’d sure let them babysit my kids when I’m older! -_-

  39. showell81 says:

    is everyone aware that this picture is photoshopped. look at the sign post

  40. Anon says:

    HAHAHAHAHAH. I added “Mudkips” to that sign once. Too bad it wore off.

  41. Von says:

    Florida in a nutshell.

  42. Briggy says:

    WIN!

  43. ShadowTheSniper says:

    I heard its the #1 safest place for kids to play. “play nicely”

  44. wooooow says:

    poison oak??! wtf?

  45. Matthew says:

    This picture was taken in my neighborhood. I stumbled upon this site a few months back and I thought about putting this picture up but apparently someone beat me to it.

  46. Matthew says:

    The neighborhood where is was taken is called Santa Fe Ridge…its in Encinitas, California.
