calling fuzz…
I’d say email him but the internets are borked.
I didn’t do it.
Prove it.
I was on the Moon at the time, with my friend Steve.
Oh wow I have knees.
Wasn’t me either. I was dead at the time.
Been watching some Eddie Izzard lately?
Nope, just a good memory.
Do you like bread?
*smacks k@ over the head with a baguette*
Quick Moomin
*points at sea*
Someone is breaking into that island!
Spain, Mexico or another spanish-populated area by any chance?
(not wanting to be prejudiced, just spanish mainland is the only place i’ve seen something like that before… and it was a more substantial pylon with pointless little “keep right” signs on it)
It seems like Madrid’s downtown to me.
You mean, the place that is closed on Sundays?
Yes. We move the whole area to Mexico on Sundays so they can shop on Macy’s. We keep the powerlines and the roads.
Those trees look like the south of Chile… But jugging by that pole in the middle of the street, I’d have to say Argentina
I thought poles were in Poland?
I never jugged by a pole.
I’m so jealous.
I thought you only jugged hares, not poles?
I’ll stew over that one. *ponders*
need a little time to mullit(gatawny)?
As an Argentine, I’d have to say estas corecto. Now we’re off to help Brazil burn down the rainforest and be the whitest people in South America.
Actually, this stuff happens a lot in Akron, OH.
FU.CK. YOU RACIST
Seconde
Third technically my trollish friend. But i wouldn’r expect you to know this. I forgive you.
*Steals r and changes with a t*
I’d hate to be driving along there when that tram comes through.
CRAP! thought i was gunna be first =(

FAIL
i saw this in costa rica
I felt this in Cuba.
I thoguht of this in Ecuador
I ate this in Guatemala.
I heard this in Argentina.
I touched this in Brazil.
I couldn’t touch this in the 90’s.
I ate this in Austria.
I shat this out in a state of delirium.
What is “nothing?” I’ll take Existing Existentially for $800, Alex.
I recognize this, it’s on Morgan Road in Zaleski, W. Va.
Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.
Objects in the middle of the road are closer than they appear.
Objects in the road are closer to the middle than they appear.
The middle of the road is more objective than it appears.
The object appears more in the middle of the road.
I’m shocked.
They should stay current on the latest regulations. They’re taking the ’safety 3rd’ rule a bit literally.
Hey Mookie and Jam are you two going to pole dance?
No!
Yes!
Maybe.
Plausibly.
Probably!
*5 eagles gets seat and a bowl of cheesies.*
Maybe?
I will!

*Tucks dollar under Granny’s hat*
You polecat you.
woo hoo! watch me go!

“it’s not my job”
Hey you guys are supposed to call before you dig!!!
This is so… EPIC.
Could be a poster for a depressing film noir.
film noir? AE.
Film noir. 5e
Whats film noir?
Ask Google.
He can’t, he has no internets.
YA my internet is not working. But looked it up anyways. Thanks for the one on one.
That’s a 69kv 60 hz AC radial feed transmission line.
I bet the consumers on the end of that line see their lights dim every time a big truck rolls by this pole.
That’s exactly what I thought!
Nice to know I’m not the only geek on here!
Thank god they put down that orange cone though. Somebody could have been hurt!
I was thinking the same thing. I suppose they could have put slightly larger cones out, but that would have taken away from the natural beauty that utility poles in the middle of the road provide.
I’d hit that!
^^^ Win comment!
No you wouldn’t….the cones would save you.
Its a road fail the pole was there first. You can tell by the clean dirt on the road side and the equipment tracks in that dirt.
The cones were there first, then they build the road and decided that there has to be something protected by the cones.
Wait a minute… 2 cones, positioned on either side of a tall shaft…
It’s yet-another penis-shaped fail!
*headdesk*
Mmmm, I see. Please, go on.
*takes notes*
Everywhere, penis-shaped objects! Pencils! Hot dogs! Clowns with penis-shaped balloons!
AAAAAAIIIIIGGGHH!!!!
Just looks like it’s in the middle of a two lane road.
but which way is the electricity flowing?
In.
the real power is flowing toward the load.
the reactive power is VARiable.
Like I said, in.
Well, since this is AC, it is actually going in and out and in and out. See? Even electrons experience the force of innuendo.
The force is strong in this one. ^
These are not the electrons you’re looking for.
They can flow about their business.
Move along.
It’s a too lame road
“Hey Frank what if somebody doesn’t see the giant pole in front of them?”
“Here, put these orange cones around it, that should be enough of a warning…”
now this is some wicked powerline
Yes, pure evil! It stealthily waits at the side until a car comes along, then it jumps into the road, trying to force a crash.
poletergeist?
*squeeze!*
That wins a poleitzer!
*congratulatorysqueeze*
Jam poleeeeze!
You going to call the poleice?
Not if you’re poleite.
I promise to poleish up my act.
That’ll influence my behaviour polesitively.
I’ll start by apoleogising. How’s that?
apole a day keeps granny away?
That’s apoling!
Our scientific data isn’t sufficent to answer that. I’ll make an internet pole and ask 1000 peopole.
Why ask 1000 people if you can ask me?
(refresh)
Be sure to ask some bipoler people. You need to get a sample that accurately represents the popoleation.
meant “clear cache”
Are we having a polemical debate?
*quietly hands around Polenta snacks so as not to disturb the debate*
Tonight on Pole Counterpole: Middle of the road activists.
*starts polling polar bears at the North Pole*
poleagraghy: naked poles in compromising positions.
“I swear, Officer, that pole just came outta nowhere!”
That’s what you get for driving in the middle of nowhere.
….on the road to nowhere?
Maybe that nowhere man was driving again.
He is nowhere who is everywhere.
My insurance company has to see this!!! They didn’t believe me when I said the pole jumped out in front of me.
*snort* phallic phone pole
pylon!
ooh me clothes!
Clothes are entirely optional ^^
They always have been around here.
mainly decorative
*squeeze*
Especially on the light fittings
*squeeze*
*breathes sigh of relief*
come here you little monkey!
*Elmira squeezes*
*snickers*
Your nipple looks… weird.
*blushes*
the other one’s around here somewhere!
I’m more worried about the third one.
oh that?! don’t worry its not milk
What happened to the reply boxes?
They disappeared O.o
they are only there for so many replies, then to save room they go away…
we gonna rock down to electric avenue
This is an actual picture of the interwebs, a real life information superhighway. Woo.
Where’s the porn?
See cone shaped protuberances for details.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
*shakes tiny moomin fists ineffectually*
Is this a triple jinx?
Woohoo!
We are all turning into the sam person…..spooky!
*searches behind the sofa for a spare ‘e’*
ME>YOU
I have a Phd in !mag!nary languages so I can hack my own computer.
Get an avatar.
I almost did that! No jinx this time.
pbbbbbbbbbH
Like, whatever. :p
*looks shifty*
You need an ‘e’?
*hands k@ an e*
Sorted, geezer!
E’s are good, E’s are good.
But who is Ebenezer?
Lovely!
Naughty naughty very naughty.
Got any salmon?
Got any Veras?
Those cones are actually madonna’s bra, she’s lying down by the pole. Ageing has terrible effects.
Grrrrrr!
That’s what the cones are for. You ever see Madonna’s bra?
In the woods! vv
As long as you stay on the asphalted track you’ll be allright, but don’t stray in the woods!
Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors.
*lies next to the road pretending to be an injured deer*
Stay on the path and don’t spill any water.
The pole really did jump out right in front of me!
pylon!
*lies in the road*
*dives onto GCF*
*bounces off and hits a cone*
sorry I should have warned you, I had them done
You should sell yourself as a human trampoline. That would go down well at an adult birthday party.
munting?
Won’t work if you still have a pulse. Unless you plan on supplying…
*applies orange spray paint to pylon*
ooh! me cones!
*considers stealing pylon ’cause all the cool young people take one for no reason*
YOU WILL DIE
*fills cones with Ice cream in the hope of attracting a giant*
Mint chocolate chip! They like that!
pistachio cuz he’d have to be nuts to play with madonna’s cones.
there’s a dead pole
in the middle of the road
dead pole
in the middle of the road
there’s a dead pole
in the middle of the road
and it’s pointing to high heaven.
The road is obviously brand new and still under construction, they probably paved around the pole until the power company can come out and install new roadside poles (which will be done before it opens). Not a fail.
Hell yeah, brah.
HEY WELL DONE YOU’VE FIGURED OUT WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW! Here have a nice big package of NO DUH DUMBO! Way to ruin a perfectly good comment thread. Sheesh. Just appreciate it for what it is and not what its meant to be.
Don’t be a dickbag.
This is clearly a powerline WIN.
As you can see the powerline has been there for a while, and the road is new. The powerline wouldn’t surrender to the road, so the road had to be built around it
= POWERLINE WIN
i was about to say that
Romania – SIMPLY SURPRISING ?
I swear officier the pole jumped out in front of me.
no way!!!
Power to the people
it seems more like ‘road location fail’ to me
looks like it was built around powerline pole
Only in Soviet Russia.
not only there, in Canada too, I didn’t have seen it yet, but it possible )))))
Unlike their cousins, the North-going Zax and the South-going Zax, the Pole-building Zax and the Road-building Zax were able to reach a compromise.
Nuclear Fail (Epic just ain’t enough)
Mmmmno, road fail. O_o
I would correct this as “paving fail”, as the pole was there first.
i know a place like that in canada…
How is this fail? You aren’t supposed to drive in the middle of the read anyway…
If we’re to split hairs, the law generally states you only have to PASS on the [right|left], not that you have to keep to one side at all times. Unless there are specific road markings, eg a double unbroken line where you HAVE to stick to “your” side until you’re through the dangerous section. As you can see here, no lines. Or even any attempt to fence it off, light it, put warning signs out, etc other than the cones.
It’s dark. Raining gently. There’s a cyclist uphead with a nice bright flashing tail light, and you want to get past before that oncoming truck gets too close. You signal, start to pull out and accelerate, and… OH SHI——-
People just don’t expect random poles to be in the middle of the road, even ones that aren’t trying to hitch-hike the hell away from the port area. It’s an obvious danger to enjoying having the run of the road at quiet times, in large vehicles that take up a lot of the lane anyway, passing slower traffic, etc.
This looks like road building fail
How do we know this isn’t a “Road Failure?”
Seems like they built the road around powerlines
Teh road und the pole are not even touchin, yo. It’s the pole is on the side of the road, da wet road reflects little extra pole, there are cones due to pot hole, and no pole in said cone. It only looks that way due to reflection.
Duuhurr.
Total carnage! The pole should be offside from the road, not directly in the middle of the road!
At least you can distinguish the lanes with the fail pole in the middle of the f uc king road
My wife is a civil engineer in the US and says this is actually kinda common. The utilities are terrible about moving poles and no one else is “allowed” to do it. So often a contractor will simply pave around it if the utility isn’t doing their job and then sent them the photo. Usually that gets them out right quick.
CAUTION: ELECTRONS XING
seriously, where they asleep when they did this job?
Make sense to me. This is done quite often when a new road is being built and the power company hasn’t moved the power poles on schedule. The contractor completes the road on schedule and patches the area when the pole is moved.
So? What is wrong with this???
Is oviously going to be a much wider road (see the even terrain on the sides). Eventually can be 2 lanes per way… with a (not english native) separation in the middle.
Or… can be a work in progress.
No way this can get 5 thumbs up.
My photo. Russia, Arkhangelsk state
Yes, This road in Russia (Arkhangelsk region). Only here this it is maybe. I from this town too =)
lololo i’m from there too. arkhangelsk is a city of fools^)

Is this road fail or power line fail?
HAHAHA this is a double fail…. thats not a power line. its a telephone pole
