Canada's tallest pingo under threat from a bush-fire. What's a pingo? I'll admit -- I had to look it up. Happy Scrabbling!

  • SAVE THE DIRT-COVERED SNOW!!!!!
  • I thought you knew everything about Canadia! There was a huge dirt covered snow pile at my local supermarket this year that was bigger than the store. It lasted well, WELL into spring, then slowly revealed its treasure: 40 twisted shopping carts. I'm sorry about the pingo.
  • Pingo.
  • Sounds like the powers that be could possibly get enough vegetation going on it to prevent erosion and melt if they JUST GET OVER THE PAPERWORK. But it's lots easier just to kick the problem around to another department. What. Ever. How strange to think that an important reference point and "permanent" part of the landscape could be gone in such a short period of time.
  • And do you Canadians have to blame everything on Bush? Even fires?
  • There was a huge dirt covered snow pile at my local supermarket this year that was bigger than the store. It lasted well, WELL into spring, then slowly revealed its treasure: 40 twisted shopping carts. Kind of like finding a toy surprise in your Baked Alaska.
  • Damnit, Skrik, you beat me to it! Well, I'm not going to waste this image I uploaded... MAWK MAWWWWK!!
  • I shoould take this opportunity to boast that I have both a Pingu piggy-bank and a Pinga piggy-bank. For no reason other than they rock. That is all.
  • Pingos are how we grow frozen vegetables. This could be a infrastructural nightmare if the frozen potato pingo melted. Just what late night infomercials need: more starving Canadian kids with flies on their faces and another fat man to lecture you.
  • I love the juxtaposition of "Pingo - Bob Barker Retires from The Price Is Right"
  • Ibyuk Pingo is totally the name of my new band.
