Insulators may also pop a top after they have been discarded if water gets in and freezes. Or if a wooden pin gets soaked and swells up.

I see 160's, 106's, 145's, 121, 154, 115, 190 and maybe a 122 front left. You should line those 160's up on a shelf. A lot of people like those for obvious reason.
