Hey - when it is this farking cold and snowy, what else ya gonna do in Iowa but come to the most illogical conclusion? I can't even go into my damn garage without getting frostbite. The winter makes you crazy. So does the summer.
Spring and fall are nice here tho.

Must be aliens, not something outlandish like ice falling off a plane

I can has corn?

I blame Bush

It must be UFOs!!!1 No way it could be underwater springs or anything. You know, thermodynamics and such.

A high res picture of this guy is just begging for a PS contest.


A man and his ice hole.

It's really interesting how people need to fill gaps in understanding with ... something. It doesn't even seem to matter much what that something is.

"You know if things go to worse, if aliens come we may have to hide in there," Denny said, referring to the escape tunnel.

i really want to go hide outside denny's house at night and screw with him. All you would have to do is chuck a pine cone at his roof and he will be clawing through the walls to get to his "escape tunnel"

A man and his ice hole.

I was thinking the same thing.

But words can do it too.

A burning Pillsbury factory (scorched smoke stack with "Pillsbury" on it) in the background and a doughboy shaped hole.

Jebus people, it's not aliens.

IT'S THE LIBYANS! RUN FOR IT MARTY!

Nestea Plunge: Show up at that guys house dressed like Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd in the alien costumes in Spies Like Us.

That would be awesome but bear in mind that old men in Iowa on property large enough to have a big pond tend to own multiple firearms.

But that would make a nice followup thread.

The aliens never visit NASA or JPL, it's always some farm in Iowa or some backroad in Alabama.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: The aliens never visit NASA or JPL, it's always some farm in Iowa or some backroad in Alabama.

It's a nice break from the fast-paced life of constructing crop circles, killing cows, and anal-probing humans.

That's another thing...I have a hard time with the idea of a race capable of mastering the technology to traverse the mind-boggling distances of interstellar space yet simultaneously mystified as to what fabulous secrets could be concealed in the human rectum.

Know how to catch a bear?

Place some peas next to the hole in the ice.
When the bear shows up to take a pea, kick him right in the ice-hole.

It's not any dumber than believing in Christianity.

I think the man has been wintering in Iowa one too many seasons.

Invisible alien probe?

Idiots Out Walking Around.

This is why that big ol' fence idea needs to rekindled.

Thanks. I've always found KitH references oddly absent from Fark.



/Talk in the new style

It's a streetlight.

Nice theories on the falling ice from planes, and underwater springs. My first thought was ice fishing hole, and I was all ready to come in here and make fun of idiots who drive a 1.5 ton truck out onto a partially froxen river. However, that pic looks nothing like an ice fishing hole, so there goes my morning snark.

And in other news, the search for three missing skydivers has been called off.

MrQuaker: Thanks. I've always found KitH references oddly absent from Fark.

The Toronto police think the hole was caused by a potato.

I blame Bush global warming

fixed

/that article hurt my brain when I read it

Nestea Plunge: The man also had oak trees taken down in the front yard because he thought they were homing beacons for aliens.

Senility, the silent killer.

Is it really that silent?

that picture is asking for a surreptitious photoshopping of Mr. Goat.

/would do it, but suck at drawing in perspective...
//sorry...

Wow, just wow.

Where do they find people like this...well Iowa I supposed, but still.

swarmspawn: I was all ready to come in here and make fun of idiots who drive a 1.5 ton truck out onto a partially froxen river.

That's how the first day of Winter is determined in Minnesota. It's like Groundhog Day, except it's some moron who plunges to their doom trying to drive across paper-thin ice.

Well they should have known it was a setup. I placed the can of peas right there so they'd find them. That way when they stopped and tried to take a pea I could kick them in the ice hole.

MMMMMMMMM!!!! Beacon!

//it damn well shouldn't be, but probably is

Yeah, looks like something airborne went through. I'm not sure though that you need to break out the SCUBA equipment for six feet of water.

Whatever fell from the sky this weekend, it's under six feet of water.
The Straubes are hoping someone volunteers to scuba dive in their pond this summer to discover what is at the bottom.

Really? Scuba gear? Hopefully a deep breath and some goggles will do.

FROZEN dammit, what the hell are froxen? So not ready for the new semester to start.

DAMN. seven seconds.

My money is on a bowl of petunias..

"You know if things go to worse, if aliens come we may have to hide in there," Denny said, referring to the escape tunnel.

Just to be safe, maybe they should go ahead and do that.

Good call. Frozen airplane bathroom waste.

I think we have a winner.

That's only plausible if they find the remains of a whale's carcass nearby.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: That's another thing...I have a hard time with the idea of a race capable of mastering the technology to traverse the mind-boggling distances of interstellar space yet simultaneously mystified as to what fabulous secrets could be concealed in the human rectum.

What's more plausible? That, or drunken homophobic redneck in biblebelt enjoys teh buttsecks and when he has to explain where he was all night and why his anus is bleeding, that's the best excuse his dumb ass could come up with?

Aliens go for the ice fishing too, don't ya know.
