Saw this at the park. What's this?
 

Saw this at a park this past weekend. Just curious as to any specific meaning to it?

"Jesus wears charm bracelets"?

Honestly, no idea.

Somebody must have died smokin the grass.

I don't know what it is but it can't be good.

Gnome gallows?

It looks like a Medieval Merry-go-round. You put the kids head in the noose (two required to maintain proper balance) and then spin them! Clearly designed before before the invention of the attorney.

You are kidding right??

Its the traditional midsummer pole in Scandinavia - not least here in Sweden. We dance silly dances around it. Preferably moderately-heavily intoxicated. Then we rape all the women between 15-20 years old. Then we burn a variety of objects as a sacrifice to our primitive gods.

All in good spirit and orderly fashion.

O-K, not a problem...

yesterday was the solstice.

but i really have no idea.

Happy version.... Olympic ring competition for midgets?

Solemn version... some kind of memorial?

My best guess is that someone died there, and this cross is a memorial.

But, the two rings are confusing . . .

edit: I just had a "Eureka" moment! The cross and two rings could represent a marriage!

Um...guys...Livi wasn't joking...
Do a Google search on "Swedish solstice festival" and you'll see that pole all over the place.

Looks like the Swedes finally made it to SoCal :p

Markus is right!

Same in Denmark, where most of my family are from. Yesterday was a big holiday there and they do all sorts of silly things...

You guys know how to have fun. :)

Oh great....now we'll never get the Mexicans to stop b!tchin 'bout the lax immagration laws.

Lol! :)

Did not know Toluca Lake was an enclave of Scadanavians. Learn something new everyday. Thanks. I knew you guys would know.

I was in the UP this weekend and didn't see any of those (lots of Fins and 'Wegians around).
