...in my neck of the woods. Freakin' idiots strung cables from house to house across the road. How in hell are firetrucks supposed to navigate this private display? Sarah Palin will be bloviating on Faux Noise directly.:rolleyes:

And when one of their houses catches on fire and the fire engine can't get past the lights to put out the fire, whose fault will it be?
That evil county government, no doubt!

Proper Christian fire trucks would have no issue with that!

Christmas is a state of mind.

Personally, I get a big kick out of drinking beer and listening to Bing Crosby.

I didn't see any thing about firetrucks :rolleyes:

LOL, really?!?!?!?!

They would just drive through them...

Have you ever see what they do if you park in front of a fire hydrant and they need to get to it?

Like the guy said "It's just lights, people." get over yourself :p

You do have a point about what they do if you park in front of a fire hydrant. I've seen them bust the two front windows of a car and string the hose through the front seat once.

On the other hand.... Why put up any unnecessary, potential obstacles or hazards when there are many other ways they could decorate the neighborhood which would be just as nice.....

On the topic of Christmas.... Has Fox 'News' started their annual campaign about the war on Christmas yet?

I figure they got some time to make up since thanksgiving was late this year.

Aww, hell Chas. Just havin' some fun with the neocon bible thumpers who lose their chit over the imaginary war on Christianity. Even you've gotta admit that Harry homeowner stringing 120volt lines across the street from house to house is beyond stupid and a clear violation of NEC. These idjits live in one of the richest neighborhoods in Orange county, California and none of 'em thought to inquire about a permit?

Gotta luv one 'em screechin' "This is America!" in protest.:rolleyes: Smells like a publicity stunt.:cool:

edit- Merry Christmas ya grouch.:)

Well, ya know freedom is freedom and it means real Americans have a right to do whatever the heck they please, even if it endangers the lives and property of others. That's why Paul Revere went around ringin' those bells and the lights and all that while his horse shit all over the street in Boston, ya know. It was all about Jesus and electric light string thingies and the blow up Santas. Geez, Baab, you don't know we're all Chistians here in Uhmerica where Christmas was invented? Ha, ha, (snort), ha, ha................you librals are so dumb.......

A fire truck is an "emergency vehicle", and driving through the web of live wires IS the shock and fire hazard that they are trying to avoid.

And teabaggers wonder why so many people think they're stupid?:rolleyes:

And you can just "get over yourself".

I used to get down with that until the missus made me move my Klipsch system to the basement. Now all I got is a little Bose doc.....

(The speakers are huge.....)

There is middle ground between the huge Klipsch and a 'little Bose dock.' WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is an important variable for the audio-lover, and success and failure at getting WAF into the excellent range gets discussed frequently on our sister forum....

I was thinkin' that if there were really a Santa flying around delivering presents on Christmas Eve...there are at least a half-million wahoos in Tejas that would blow him and his reindeer out of the night sky with their AR-15's.

I gotta go to the dentist.

Lemme know when you're thinkin' I'm scheduled for the proctologist. We'll see how accurate your clinical evaluation skills are.

You know, an attractive female proctologist with a tongue like a lizard may be interesting, but other than that...
