I was high on History studying when I agreed with the americans and dictionary.com

They're known as pylons, though a "pylon" by definition is something completely different.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Yup that tharr be a pylon, although if you call it that, everyone will yell "PILE ON!!!" and jump on you, so from now on, they are orange conical marking devices. And that's the end of that. *dusts hands*

I have heard them called pylons, but most U.S. residents just call them cones. Orange barrels are more common this time of year (construction). :(

12 out of whatever...was it 15?

but anyway there are traffic pylonds and traffic cones. the pylons are those little poles that if you run over bend and come back up. :)
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
