I have to assume that “first” and “third” refer to the position that Smeems and Mr. L have requested on the glory hole duty roster…

Um… “hole” is censored, why, exactly? I’m pretty sure a kid can read the picture easier than the text anyways. This whole site belongs on the Failblog…

I guarantee if you google “glory hole” mining will not be in the top 20.

It seems a bit wasteful to use such a massive knowledge of mining trivia to make a one off deadpan comment seeing a short wiki search confirms that there is indeed a Climax, CO which does indeed have massive ore deposits and they did indeed use mining methods that caused ground collapse.

I think that might have been the point? It sounded like deadpan sarcasm to me, but deadpan is hard to recognize in type-font, no?

It is still a funny expression what with the double entendre naughtyness.

It made me titter.

Am I the only one that finds the name of that Colorado town ironic given how most people are going to interpret the term “glory hole”?

A gloryhole is that little glass window on the door to the furnace that you look through to see if there is fire burning inside.

The person who took this picture and sumitted it probably didnt know that. I didnt know that until reading Cosmic’s comment. The only glory-hole I ever knew of is the kind that has to do with glass making. But most people only know of it in a dirty way.

You’re right, that’s neither Engrish nor a Fail. It’s just that the use of the word has changed much over time. “Pingenbau” or “Bingenbau” is the German word for it.

This is Engrish how, exactly? A glory hole for miners is an impressive excavation, whether it’s a huge open pit or a deep shaft. If miners are pulling ore out underground, it’s possible for the surface ground to collapse after enough ore has been removed; this creates a different kind of glory hole. One of those happened in Climax, Colorado.
