I’m near Phiily, and can’t help imagining those pants dangling from the wires - right next to the sneakers…

Dangling shoes seems to be a common thing in the US, I know somewhere I read that it was remembering lost friends, or something similar?

Depends where and how it is done. It can have a lot of meanings, but IMO the practical joke one involving the wires is the worst.

Dr. Seuss’s “Pale Green Pants” story is one of my childhood nightmares.

Yeah, I read the link you provided and it’s spot on with how it was perceived in Los Angeles over a decade ago. I had a neighbor who told me this and it made me laugh. There are better ways for drug dealers to give directions, especially when you saw shoes on wires everywhere.

According to QAnon, those empty sneakers are thrown up on the phone lines by Liberal Lycanthropes who have eaten the footwear’s owners. It is a way for them to mark their hunting territory.

Wait, is this a joke or a real QAnon thing? I can never tell anymore.

Yes/No/Maybe/Who Can Tell: delete as applicable. 
However, I think that I made it up, but I can’t be certain that it isn’t part of the chaos that is QAnon.

Thank you. I came to ensure the obligatory reference was made. Left satisfied.
