Pallets in fields

[2LaneCruzer]

Were pallets invented by mortals back then? I am thinking not.

I heard they just showed up one morning, in what's now known as Area 51...and they seemed friendly enough, so nobody got excited. They should have known...

Sometimes they paint themselves patriotic colors to hide in plain sight.

I would've walked right past if the fact that only 12 stars were shown. Did many states secede recently?

Yep, they just started stacking.

It is entirely possible “stacking” is their reproduction method. Stack enough and a new one appears a few weeks later.

I get it! like wire hangars in the closet...they just multiply!

Oh so true . . .

 

[wheelbuilder]

I always thought the extra hangars were transformed from the socks missing from the dryer. More lost socks=more hangars. Maybe there's another transformation from hangar to pallet. The mystery deepens !

Make me down a pallet on the floor.

Make it where your good man never goes.

- Just like the Aliens, they probably just wanted to get people talking !

Back to reality... and I'm not going to read all 4008 postings, "What is the reason for the Pallets in the fields, stacked in an inverted V ?

Or have we not decided yet ?

That explains why they alternate sexes when they stack.

We've been trying to reason that out for over four thousand posts. Those who knew the answer could be dead by now.

Now there is not a decision. It is not even the beginning of a decision. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the decision.

Sage words geoduck, sage words indeed.

"When any work seems to have required immense force and labour to affect it, the idea is grand. 'Pallets in fields', neither for disposition nor ornament, has anything admirable; but those huge rude masses of wood, set on end, and piled each on other to form an inverted 'V', turn the mind on the immense force necessary for such a work. Nay, the rudeness of the work increases this cause of grandeur, as it excludes the idea of art and contrivance; for dexterity produces another sort of effect, which is different enough from this."

Spurious at best, Randy. :laughing:

My interpretation:

Although the effort to stack the many pallets in a inverted "V" was immense, they are neither an artistic expression, nor anything functional, as exhibited by their crudeness, but leaves us with the feeling of grandeur anyway.

Don't know 2Lane Andy was pretty crude.

Sometimes pallets just shack up together.

He was obviously being kidnapped.

What's with the 2 wheeler? Was he expecting a delivery?
