If those where used for oildrilling, there may be some harmful residues there.

Are you sure they are safe to the environment?

Funniest post ever. However, someone took it serious and will probably end up being a millionaire. Saw these the other day and had to think of Roy Frisby.

Back in my day we used to dig our holes by hand. None of this hole dot com malarky. I think all you whipersnappers and your prefab holes are ruining the entire industry.

If I had known about them I would have helped my employees out this past Friday. They dug two 10" holes 34" deep to install our new sign. All the money I wasted having them dig them and I could have just bought two.

My wife carries an offshoot of this product in her purse. She applies them to our bank account, letting the money easily drain out. These holes are very hard to plug back up, too.

I've also seen them marketed as 'Bank Debit Cards.'

Where there's a demand for holes there'll be a demand for filling . . .

Thanx Jantz for sharing yet another application for the service we're about to provide . . .
although I have'nt arrived at a name for this new venture yet, the web-site will be up immediately . . . we're not sure how we feel about calling it 'UN-holey'.
'Fill'er up' was suggested, but - just too cliche' . . .
We're looking at (complete with a western theme/graphics):
'HANDS IN THE AIR - This is a HOLE UP!'
(The word 'fill' being suggested graphically via a cowboy shoveling dirt toward a hole while another stands by drammatically pointing a shovel toward the veiwer)

Other suggestions for the site were:

'Check out what WE'RE pluggin'!' and:

'Holes-R-US.'

Anyway, do not steal this new and innovative idea . . .
Remember.
You saw it here first.

I have some leftover holes that I bought from Roy 5 years ago....are the still any good...or have the expired?

I don't know how to check them out. Ever try to find a pile of holes stacked in some corner?

I gotta add a cartoon Don Coplen did for me a couple of years back on a similar thread about the problems of digging holes in frozen ground in North America.

Alas, the business venture was doomed for a start. Despite very low freight costs (Holes don't weigh much!) Ozzie Holes from Down-Under don't work Up-Over!!!

Dirt falls back out when you try to fill them up!

Si, I bought a bunch from Roy, too, back then- we have a dry borehole here, so I just roped Roy's together and lowered them down that hole to store them- you just pull them up & take them out as needed. So far I haven't used them all up.

One problem I had was that the originals must have been from some pretty sandy ground- they go back into sand really well, but aren't so compatible with our rocky ground on the top of the range here- you sort of have to make your own starter hole first.

I should have paid for his service pack2 upgrade that puts a point on the bottom end of each one as you install it. Fortunately, by design, they don't take much RAM to fill.

There's a new model coming out I hear: 3.5 dig-a-hurtz dual-core...and just for Dan, you can get textured ones, complete with rivets!
