Need Advice - The Orange Mane

It is way past Christmas and I have this fifty foot steel tower wraped in Christmas lights on my house.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it down?

DomCasual · 01-12-2007, 06:03 PM

Well, the first thing - and, of course, I am stating the obvious here - is that you might have thought about this when you put it up?

I mean - call me crazy, if you must - but I probably would have thought about this when I put it up.

Let us know how it turns out, though. And get video, if you would.

Were you insane?

Looks like one heck of a lightning rod to me.

You're joking right, you found that picture.

All I remember is Silver Bullets and Bud were involved.

Good thing the FAA hasn't seen that yet!

1.) Buy 12 pack Budweiser
2.) Buy Qt Jack Daniels
3.) Drink all said booze
4.) climb up tower

5.) Now you'll either be dead or a vegetable, so you wont have to worrry about it

Isn't this the kind of thing that gets people started on getting their own Darwin Award?

scorpio · 01-12-2007, 06:31 PM

Do you own a truck?

Do you own a tow rope?

Rohirrim · 01-12-2007, 06:31 PM

Looks like a couple of good whacks with a sledge hammer ought to do it. Just make sure your car's not in the driveway.

dbfan4life · 01-12-2007, 06:38 PM

I've seen one of those down the street where I live. I think it stays up year round.

bendog · 01-12-2007, 06:39 PM

My God, it's a miracle the NSA and Homeland Security haven't destroyed your hope with a predator drone and hell fire missle.

What are the chances that Donk's last words are going to be: "Look, no hands!!!"
