Poles greased in Philly to prevent fans from climbing in celebration ahead of NFC title game | FOX59

Something something challenge accepted something.

In the context I have encountered it, getting one's pole greased is a lewd expression.

Greased poles are a tradition?

Victory is slippery as a towering Italian festival tradition returns

Yes, but that is March 5th. And they are not greased, but liquored up.

I know some folks of Polish decent and this just seems wrong for the city to be slathering them with grease.

Philadelphia is proof that you don't have to leave the country to visit a sh**hole.........

This was my favorite news story yesterday.

BTW- Philly just set a new standard of care (though this isn't the first time) for what the gvt. MUST do when it reasonably anticipates that people may climb poles...and break their own necks.

Why not just install human-sized squirrel guards, and keep idiots off the poles year around?

Because it is the governments job to protect the Darwin candidates from themselves.

Between all of the hate for our first orange president, special cheese spreads for "crackers" and now slamming Pole's I hate to see the path this country is on...

After the first claim will be a city contract to install airbags at the base of the poles. Being a city contract, it will be expensive, bribes will flow, and political campaign donations will soar. Win Win!
