Australians, Be On The Lookout For (snort!) Motorized Picnic Tables. No, Really.


Australians, Be On The Lookout For (snort!) Motorized Picnic Tables. No, Really.

Australians! You have been warned by the authorities about the dangers of hooning, gun ownership, fighting during Bathurst, biker gangs and plenty more, we assume…but did you ever in your life expect to see the local officers asking the public to be on the lookout for roving gangs of individuals on picnic tables?

picnic time 2Look…we know that the weather is getting better…at least, warmer…there and that the good times should be enjoyed with a bunch of mates, but seriously…picnic tables?! This is the kind of thing you should expect to see in the American South. I’m not knocking it that much…other than the potential for some serious road rash if something goes very bad, it looks like a riot. The problem is that y’all have CCTV cameras everywhere and for some reason, your cops have some serious issues with just about every piece of rolling stock that is in the country. So put the tables up for now, ok? Then send us the specs on them…would make working racetracks quite fun. Chad can drive it while Brian and I enjoy…uh…Kool-Aid. Yeah, that’s it.

    we had a guy 2 weeks ago busted drink driving on a powered esky (thats what we call em – is that what you guys in the US call them? you know, a cooler you put ice n beer in) – funny thing was he was arguing black n blue with the cop and could genuinely not see what was wrong with what he was doing .. hell he wasnt going fast, dunno what the cops problem was! Nah its the one shit about Australia, lots of the cops have no sense of humour. At least most of them these days are so young they get gobsmacked by older hot cars – when you do get pulled over more often than not they just want to check it out. Its the young pups in the Commonwhores that draw all the flak…

    I caught that in the news clip. “Esky” is either “Igloo” (after a major manufacturer of them) or simply “cooler”. And no kidding on the translation dictionary…

    Remember, you’re dealing with an American. Commodore, Falcon, old-school Valiant…in my eyes, you all get some really cool shit to play with and I’d roll any of them.

    Well this takes drinking and driving to a whole new level!

    Well done mates!

    This reminds me of the time I was in my local bar mixing Mandrax (English Quaaludes) with beer. Every time I came back from the bar with a fresh pint I could have sworn my table was moving round the room. Needless to say I didn’t spill a drop…

        Wanton and destructive behavior made me the man I am today and should forever be celebrated on these hallowed pages!
