Click the link in my signature for more on how this came about.
This is basically a continuation of the lively and random traffic cone discussion that engulfed some pages of "The Clean Chatroom". The poll asks which of the following cones you like the best (if it worked, my first poll thread), here they are!
Cone 1

Cone 2

Cone 3

Cone 4

Feel free to laugh at or ridicule.

Half the reason, but also because cones do not get enough appreciation. They are left out in all weathers and nobody even gives them a hug! It is terrible :cry:

I saw some, but nothing noteworthy unfortunately.
Who thinks my mum is silly for asking if there are any cones abroad?

Just a little.

Cones like to migrate; I've seen them on ferries and in airports.

I like the happy, smiley face cone myself. A good attitude is hard to come by.

I was running on a newly paven hill yesterday with those pole-like cones separating the lanes since they hadn't painted the lines yet, and a couple of teens in a mini-whatever were slaloming down the hill between them as I went up. Color me impressed.

Oh, yes; they're sneaky little things. They wait around the and wait for someone to take pity on them.

So true. We drove through a bunch of them protesting about road works not so long ago.

Does that mean "Appreciation" is the wrong word here? :P

We can appreciate the good and the bad in them, seeing them for what they are rather than what we'd like them to be.
