Nope not me...I'm close to 70 but further east.
Only 6 Beers...maybe those big Ar*e Foster can's?
If not they should have let the light-weight burn!

Besides, my friends would never do such a thing.
Last tyme my leg caught fire ...uh ...they put it out.
(hint: we were out of beer, no water, or fire extinguisher but they managed to put it out "naturally".)

File this under "and alcohol was involved). That says it all.

Been to a few parties like that in my "ute" Dave. Some of those seemed like a good idea at the time. Wish I coulda been there.

How's the shoulder Bruce?

Dave -- as I read your post, visions of the scene worked through my head and I started laughing so much my wife wondered what in the "h" was going on. True or not, that's a great story. Seriously tho, really sorry for the NM chap.

Cheers and beers -- John

Admittedly, embellished …but I did wake up with a 1953 Dodge pick-up (with a “Mickey Rat” sticker on the door) parked on my foot once. And the crowd I ran with back in those days were known for waking people up with a “shower” if you passed out at a party!

This past weekend in Corbin a guy with a broke down motorhome doused himself with a can of gas and set himself on fire. Apparently he was conscious through the whole thing but died a couple days later at the UK burn center. Very bizarre and unsettling.

....there is a story there....wow.....
gblawson(gordon- TD27667)

Seriously...very sad that his "buds" left him in such a state.
As for the guy in KY with the motor home ....hmmm, wonder if it was a Revcon?
Had one of those and considered lighting myself up more than once trying to keep it on the road.
These are desprate tymes....not much surprises me anymore.

I used to work in an Emergency Room and the saying that truth is stranger than fiction is an absolute fact. I have a couple thousand that make this look tame. And in most "alcohol was involved" can be found on the report.

Lavern. Great. Only slowed me down about a week. Probably could have made the drive to Ohio.
