When a bunch of people dressed in business attire wearing shiny new hard hats use shiny new shovels to pick up a scoop of loose dirt and toss it on the (unbroken) ground.
Yeah always thought that was a bit silly. Plus that doesn’t even look like the original soil; most likely potting soil from the local Home Depot. It will all be bulldozed soon anyway.
But maybe they get cake, and get to keep their plastic caps
@pmarin Yes, totally silly. Just saw one of these a few nights on the local news and almost laughed out loud. It was everything you said. I wonder if anyone thinks there is any reason why this should continue. If I were a local politician I’d be embarrassed to take part in this or take the Halloween costume “hard hat” home. I’d take a piece of cake, though.
@Cerridwyn@yakkoTDI Hahaha - inside joke for Mehtizens. @ItalianScallion, have you watched many of Irk’s videos? I can relate to a lot of the things that bother him more than they should.

@ItalianScallion @pmarin John has an interesting take on why politicians do it.
And I’ll bite: what the heck is MIBMMTIS?
@ItalianScallion I hate it when people use these strings of letters like we are all supposed to know but then maybe it bothers me more than it should.
@ItalianScallion @yakkoTDI
I decided to google

@Cerridwyn @Kyeh @yakkoTDI No, I don’t pay much attention to Irk’s videos, but being a bit curmudgeonly I think I should.
@Cerridwyn @ItalianScallion @yakkoTDI Yes, I think you’d like them.
@Cerridwyn @yakkoTDI Yep, @Kyeh, you were right. Irk’s MIBMMTIS videos are great!
At least the giant cardboard check thing has pretty well disappeared…
@chienfou I always wondered what would happen if some walked into a bank with the 6-foot cardboard check to deposit….
@pmarin
I think they would have had an issue with it unless it was wet signed!
