I need a drink

OUCH!

Someone was looking for a freebee but got stung. What’s the buzz, DeadSplinters? Any plans for the weekend or just winging it? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!

  1. Once I played King’s cup with some friends. Anything that wasn’t poisonous was fair game. I poured in pickle brine and my friend lost so he had to chug the concoction (beer, vodka, coke, pickle brine). He threw up fluorescent later that night. I forgot about that night from two decades ago…until this popped up on my IG feed today 🤮

    A cult classic. A fan favourite. A sparkling water made with pickle brine that’s satisfyingly semi-savoury yet surprisingly refreshing. Come on, you know you want to try it.

    Actually you can’t try it because it is sold out. Is this a late April Fool’s joke?

    • Weren’t pickle martinis a thing a few years ago? I don’t care for gin. I like pickles but don’t want to drink pickle juice. 🤢

      • you can give your pickle juice to me

        love the stuff

        best part of running out of pickles is drinking the juice

  2. hahahaha…welp…shouldnt steal shit…also..who steals a shop vac?

    they arent particularly pricey new….gonna be worth jack shit fenced

    anyways….theres either a surprise late nite footie match on nearby…or some idiots running around the area with a refs whistle…….its probably the latter

    most interdasting plan ive got for this weekend…..is making burgers and chips and salad for dinner tomorow….and that only coz i found a new veggi burger what tickled my fancy

    now…i fucking love kroket (or croquette if you’re gonna be foreign about it….far as i can tell the regional differences are negligeable)

    i have high hopes for this veggi version

  3. Hornet stings are the worst. That shot of them just crawling around on the guy’s hand, ugh.

    • Yeah, I almost feel sorry for the idiot that stole the shop vac.

  4. The hornets in the vacuum also unlocked another memory from two decades ago. We were at my bf’s family’s rural cabin in the woods (it was exactly what you are imagining. His grandfather built it over the years on his own). It was winter and one of the rooms had a major ladybug infestation in the walls. We dealt with it in the only way a drunken group of sensible 19 year olds would. We took turns vacuuming them out of the air like we were in a video game. Then we dumped the load of them in the snow and marveled at our accomplishment. I’m surprised we were smart enough not the set them on fire. There’s a YouTube video of it floating around out there. This was when YouTube was full of silly innocent videos like that and not incentivised by a clicks and likes hungry algorithm.

    • Lol, I’d love to see that.

  5. When I was a small child we visited relatives in the country. That particular county was up in the mountains and home to less than 35,000 people; the relatives lived in what those residents considered country. So middle of nowhere-ish.

    I ran through one of the huge tractor tires they had used as a planter (gone to weeds) during a game of chase, and stepped on a hornet nest. OMG. Ouch! My foot was covered in stings and swelled up immediately.

    Naturally, as this was back when children were more likely to be chastised than rushed to a hospital 30 miles away, I got in trouble for running in the weeds. And told to sit down and behave 🙄.

    • Yikes! That could have been very bad. And I’m sure it hurt. Both the stings and being reprimanded rather than comforted.

      I know I’ve mentioned it here before but one of my sisters was stung by hundreds of wasps walking home from school. Someone had knocked down a nest and she didn’t notice until it was too late. A neighbor found her lying in the grass, she was unconscious and turning blue. His mother was a nurse so he picked my sister up and ran home carrying her. His mother gave allergy shots to some of us in the neighborhood and had epinephrine on hand. She was able to revive my sister and get her to the emergency room. She is deathly allergic now and carries an epi pen with her at all times.
