...How can you plant a flag in a fountain? Is it weighted down by a heavy rock or something?

What ground, though? There's only the paved Town Square, or the water in the fountain. There's no natural Earth here - I should know. smiley - tongueout

At a safe distance Red Dog starts to do a victory dance in excitement and anticipation.

Of course the best way to ensure that a fountain doesn't explode is to...

*produces large sack marked 'Maggies Farm'"

...stuff live poultry down it!!

*begins to insert chickens into fountain*

This'll make it right as rain. I mean right as not-rain.

smiley - ermI'm not sure that a foul-filled fountain will look quite as romantic and peaceful.
Besides which, having several birds about will attract vast numbers of smiley - cats. I mean Vast.

Hmmmmmm..not necessarily a bad thing.

*requisitions M60 machine gun and digs fox-in-socks-hole*

Here's a way to have some fun
Here's a way to not be glum
When those cats come at a run
You can blow them all to Kingdom Come!!

I sure hope the good doctor doesn't Suess me.
