Yeah, I'm a little confused on why the pole is being replaced, as it appeared to be in perfectly fine shape. The new pole seems to be the same height, and design. They got rid of the transformer, and may have fully replaced the power lines, but even so, why replace the pole? About the only time I've seen new poles put up locally, save where one was damaged by an accident, weather or something, is when they are widening a road, in which case the new pole goes up in the new location, then the lines are moved, the old pole is taken out, then the road widened. I've never seen a perfectly okay pole taken out, then replaced... even in accident or weather damage cases, they usually just put the new one right next to the old one (perhaps in the same hole), and move the lines over.

It also looks like they live uncomfortably close to the high power lines.

Looks like they are changing out a perfectly good pole...

They're not even wearing pole belts!

I knew the blaster sounds came from telephone pole tension cables.

From Wikipedia's Man catcher page's section on China:

"A type of locking man catcher is available for staff at train stations and airports in China to capture and restrain individuals in a non-lethal manner.

"In some junior and middle schools, security guards are equipped with non-locking variants designed to seize a person's waist or prevent them from advancing. It is essentially a two-pronged fork, a U-shape projecting from a pole."

0:32 "The bust was faced north..." because that's the only direction it could face at the south pole.

Update: Okay, it wasn't at the geographic south pole. So I guess there was technically a north and a south.

Now tie the head to a telephone pole so it will twerk.

Last time I saw a pole dancer show off his ball juggling skills, well, let's just say this guy gets quite a tip.

I feel angry about the British people placing their poor little babies up on poles during air raids. It's not like they could sample and playback in the 40s.

What's Going On?

This story, believe it or not, is the very familiar fable of Little Red Riding Hood. This curious version was written in 1940 by a professor of French named H. L. Chace, who wanted to show his students that intonation - that is, the melody of a language - is an integral part of its meaning. The words here are all common English words, but not the ones you'd expect to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

Major photography oversight. Always know your background. Many times you will see people with trees, poles and even the Washington Monument growing out of their heads.

This guy looks like he has a feather sticking out.

Otherwise, a very interesting vid. [thumbs up emoji here]
