I've had shrooms at night in the sand dunes at the beach. One oval office rolled down a dune and lost his wallet. We spent a while looking for it to no avail. I said we should come back when it's daylight. We did. Found the wallet!

Who takes their wallet when they go out to take shrooms in nature?

That sounds like asking for trouble.

Uh-oh. Are the sprinklers even on their side of the footpath or are they on whatever the equivalent of council land is in the ACT these days?

Depends on the council but their are certain things you are allowed to do on the nature strip like put in a new tree or something or get permission to put in sprinklers/lights. But Halloween decorations? that's a paddling. Council laws are weird and vary widely for even different bits of the same city.

A while ago the road work guys drove a excavator down half the street's nature strip and squashed every single rainwater drain pipe, they eventually had to come back and fix all of them.

A colleague of mine was drilling some new fencepole holes on his acrage a couple of years ago and didn't realise a previous owner had removed a fence some time in the past and just buried it all a little bit beow the surface. The hole borer grabbed the fence wire and managed to rip it up around his ankle. It did not end well for him, but thankfully he didn't lose his foot, probably because he was wearing his work safety boots. Instead after they glued all the bits of his foot back together he got a little trolley to kneel on and roll around the office on.

Hole borers scare me.

very confused by the use of the phrase "nature strip" to refer to a part of property that isn't owned by local gov tbh. Just say "front yard" Also not sure how that would cut your internet unless it was actually the council land. Very weird situation.

i dunno if this changes from council area to council area but my council makes a big point of defining it as the space between the property line and the road whenever it uses the phrase anywhere. Admittedly I do not actually have footpaths on my street but they do exist out here still

If it's on their side of the footpath, as Isaac said, I get it. I have a pit in the footpath outside my place. The cable runs from there, under my boundary fence and up the side of my block so there's a strip of grass outside my boundary fence but on my side of the footpath where digging could gently caress up my utilities (my electricity and gas run that side, too).

Mate of mine bought a jar of another mate's piss to fake being clean on a drug test and I want to be smug telling him he's an idiot but I have no idea if anyone gives enough of a poo poo to check that closely.

Thought I'd ask here since I figure this sort of thing has happened to a couple of you before. Has my mate hosed himself?

Yeah honestly Halloween would be one part of seppo culture I wouldn't mind us stealing.

We'd have to do it at the end of April though. It's hot and light well into the evening at the end of October in Perth and gently caress getting into a costume when it's 30+.

It's an excuse to dress up in costumes and throw parties, watch scary movies and decorate your place, what's not to like? It's got something for everyone. People whining about it being American are the biggest loving sooks. (and it's not even American!)

Do you often sing or whistle just for fun?
When I was a kid, Halloween was nothing more than a good excuse to declare war on the kids down the street and throw eggs at their house once it got dark. Now I'm old, I don't care for Halloween much but my kid gets so bloody excited about it that it's hard not to be endeared by that.

Also there's a house a few streets over that builds a full on scary maze thing going through their backyard that you can walk through. They charge $5 entry per person and donate all the money to the hospital at the end. I took my then five year old through it last year at her insistence, thinking it would be kinda hokey and lame but hey it's for a good cause so ok.

Well. My kid got the ever loving poo poo scared out of her and cried the whole walk home. I got a few new grey hairs and almost peed my pants as there was a dude that jumped out of nowhere right at the end revving a chainsaw, then when you laughed and turned away another guy jumped out of the dark at you and blasted you in the face with a leaf blower. Also I saw a couple of teenagers come out after us that were bawling their eyes out and screaming.

My kid wants to go again this year, but I'm gonna let her Dad walk her through this time :eek:
