When I was in high school, my house was TPed a couple of times, but never quite to this extent:
These pictures were sent to me by Barney. He received them from somebody who lives on Delaware Avenue here in Bend, saying they saw this on the 900 block.
My guess it’s been there for a day or two. Why? Because on Saturday it was homecoming for Summit High School, and the Deleware block is in Summit HS territory. If a TP job like that was going to happen, it was going to happen then, and it was probably done Saturday night. It’ll probably be like that until it snows, because I know there’s no way in hell I’d try to get that toilet paper off the power lines.
Which brings up another question: How conductive of power is toilet paper? A great deal of that toilet paper is running across those power lines. I know that’s something they don’t want to just hose off. Personally, I’d let nature take care of it, and just live with the new decorations for a while.

As long as it hasn’t rained/snowed *heavily*, it would be perfectly safe to tug at the toilet paper on the power lines to make it break and fall down.. then hose off the rest of the house. 😛
Wow! Very impressive!!

What are you testing? Are you spamming me you great goon? Yes I subscribed to the comment thread, lol 😉
Would you mind adding bloglines.com to your list of permitted hosts to view images on here?
Cool photos anyway.
Most likely the TP is strung on telephone lines or local cable. Most electrical lines attach near the top of the pole. Perhaps this area has underground service. Believe me, if there was an electrical “problem” with this particular incident, the party would have been over quickly.
Ignore my above tests, folks. Trying to get MT Notifier configured properly.
Neil, I’ll make sure bloglines is allowed to view the images. Thanks!
I am (also) trying to implement notifier and i see that you have the subscribe checkbox in your comment area. Where have you put it. In the listing template or in the mtcommentfield function… I am lost here… Can you help?

I have a custom, hacked to pieces template, and don’t use the mtcommentfield function that is in the default mt3.0 templates.
