Re: FN-FORUM [OT] Chilly....

date posted 17th January 2003 21:39

Another chilly story to add a friend who was over from Sweden in Dec had
just been working on a gig within the artic circle. One night of tomfoolery
ended up with a mans tongue stuck to a scaff pole, and had to be removed by
a similar process. Involving the only source of warm water available at the
time. Collective piss

Yucccccck.

And as a teenager almost before putors we regular taped many HP2 batteries
together with wires at either end to power radios and tape machines to play
music, to test how live the were, you had to put the wires in your mouth as
we had yet to permanently borrow a meter from school. This often lead to a
blinding white flash especially on strings over 8 batteries long ours were
often 24- 30 batteries long

ouch
