My cousin, the insane climber.

[Shakespeare]

Ignore the schmaltzy music and patriotic BS--just watch with the volume off.

1. What I was going to post on youtube

Great, now some poor bastard has to go up there and take them down at night or during the first inclement weather if it's not illuminated.

You do know the flag code, right? Douchebag.

[Shakespeare]

2. It's illuminated at night, just as it is at the US Capitol.

All the same, it's a pucker-worthy video. That boy has no fear of heights.

3. ZOMG! Someone has to climb the stairs to the bottom of the rope!

Well, I can see that all public buildings should have flagpoles that can be operated from ground level. Tennessee obviously shouldn't be trying to fly flags at all. How dare they try to fix their flagpole?

4. Is he single?

;)

Arborists are HOT. Dude, the guy who came and cut down our birch was BURLY. Could I stand on a 20-foot ladder and wield a chainsaw one-handed? No, no I could not. :o

And not only that, he was super cute. Cuter than your cousin even. :D

[Shakespeare]

5. My cousin's a hottie.

And he's tall, too--like 6'4", I think. :7

Oh, and yes--he's single.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Holy cow! That is beautiful...and...

it's actually pretty music, for once, when watching your cousin doing that.

And, I agree with all of those who find him handsome. I am a sucker for a strong jaw.
