How to poison yourself like a champion

Post by sooey » 22 Nov 2013, 7:50 am

Just sharing a recent experience from some idiot mates for everyone to have a laugh :lol:

A trio of mates went camping this week and forgot to take a hot plate for cooking.

They managed to find an old street sign (council worker chucked it after replacing it or something, not stolen) not too far out and get back to the camp and cooking.

Anyway one of the guys says he doesn't want to cook off some manky road sign, but the other two go ahead.

Sure enough, half an hour later the pair that cooked off the sign and both seriously unwell, "firing at both ends" is the expression I think :lol:

Bit of lead paint or metal or whatever is in those signs anyway seems to be the culprit.

Good times :lol:

So the lesson is, remember to bring proper cooking gear :D

The signs are steel I guess? Who knows what's in the paint though?

Paint fumes when cookin'?

Just take a bit of foil and plonk it near the fire. Don't even need to lug around a heavy plate.

Of course the upside of "Poisoning yourself like a champion " is that someone new gets to have a crack at the championship each time!

That "Poisoning yourself like a champion " heading reminds me of a party years back when one of us ( blind drunk ) grabbed a 1ltr bottle out of the fridge in the sheering shed and proceded to skull what they thought was Fanta.... " What the F is in this Fanta bottle, pink s#*t , tastes like oil ? " ..... "'Luci-Jet !" ....

How did he go with that ?
I have of heard that farmers used to inject Lucijet in the guts of beef steers after they
butchered them in the paddock , and anything that ate it ,foxes and crows didn't use
to make it 20 metres before dying ?
Of course this is all hearsay I've never had first hand experience :roll:
