Subject: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Shanghaiceltic Date: 29 Jan 05 - 08:46 PM Now I have an excuse for buying all that beer, all I need now is some snow.... Man peed way out of avalanche A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it. Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains. He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out. But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through. He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported. He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there." Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.
I think that Frank Zappa wrote the ultimate yellow snow song, and any other attempts are irreverent and disrepectful. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: LadyJean Date: 29 Jan 05 - 10:26 PM An excellent excuse to carry a six pack of beer in your back seat. Cecil Adams of "The Straight Dope" was asked if it was true that Eskimoes had several different words for snow. And how would an Eskimo say "Look at all the f--ckin snow." Adams replied with a list of words, and a phrase that translates as "Behold the snow, it fornicates!" As I look out my window, and wonder where all that snow came from, as if we alread didn't have enough. I think, "Behold the snow. It fornicates!" |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Sorcha Date: 29 Jan 05 - 11:03 PM LOL! But, wouldn't possibly just pouring the beer on the snow have had the same result? Not near as much fun tho! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: GUEST,. Date: 29 Jan 05 - 11:38 PM No - Sorcha - beer in the bottle in the car - equals 66 degrees farenheit.....beer - as piss - is 50% warmer....98.8

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Pauline L Date: 30 Jan 05 - 12:23 AM A small technical point: Beer in urine at body temp is not 50% warmer than beer in a bottle (and it was probably below 66 degrees F) because of the way the temperature scale is constructed. I'm glad the Slovak man was so clever. Sometimes we Americans think that only Yankees can be so ingenious. Please tell me more about 10 feet of snow falling in 24 hours in parts of Europe. Is this really true? |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 30 Jan 05 - 06:53 AM This seemed improbable but too good not to be true, so I searched for a news source and found it here. Don't know much about Ananova, but at least it's news! Allison |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Jan 05 - 10:07 AM We should send this story on to Dave Barry. Maybe it will inspire him to come out of retirement. At the very least it should inspire a commemorative ballad: As the shades of night drew near, Richard Kral lay sick with fear, Buried by an avalanche, Would he ever get the chance, To see his friends and family all so dear! Next! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 30 Jan 05 - 11:41 AM Well, I've never pissed my way out of a snowy situation, but I've damned sure snowed my way out of a few pissy situations. |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jan 05 - 12:13 PM Lemme think this out. It might revolutionize winter sports in the backcountry 'round here. I get caught in a a snowslide and there I am, laying there under all this snow. So I reach for the nipple of my trusty hydration pack, which is full of beer. A bit later, Nature does what Nature does and I unzip and let 'er rip. If I'm facing towards the sky (even though I can't see it), eventually a yellowish geyser erupts and Search and Rescue comes to my aid. If nothing else I open a breathing hole and mark my location with a yellow stalagmite. If I'm facing the other way I create a whole new hole through which I might eventually crawl to safety. |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Jan 05 - 04:30 PM And I thought you guys could come up with some verses! I'm disappointed. Maybe I'll ask Joe to move this up where the professional songsters will see it. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jan 05 - 11:57 PM Shucks, we've got several words for snow and suchlike stuff in English: Hail, slush, powder, ice, rime, bergs, moguls, bergy bits, sleet, and freezing rain are ten that come immediately to mind. I was gonna respond to that old myth, Brucie, but you beat me to it. Oh, yeah -- we got the same last line in English. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Peace Date: 31 Jan 05 - 12:13 AM LOL. I bet we do, Rapaire. However, it would be a neat thread idea to see the words and relatively clean expressions various people from around the world use. |

Subject: ADDPOP: Don't Eat the Yellow Snow From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Jan 05 - 01:59 AM Well, I suppose it doesn't meet the song challenge, but this song has never, ever been posted at Mudcat, as far as I can determine. It makes me wonder, though, if the St. Bernard dogs would drink the brandy in the keg and then pee it on the avalanche victims... Don't go there, Joe. -Joe Offer- DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW (Frank Zappa, of blessed memory) Dreamed I was an eskimo Frozen wind began to blow Under my boots and around my toes The frost that bit the ground below It was a hundred degrees below zero... And my mama cried And my mama cried Nanook, a-no-no Nanook, a-no-no Don't be a naughty eskimo Save your money, don't go to the show Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh Well I turned around and I said ho, ho And the northern lights commenced to glow And she said, with a tear in her eye Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Charley Noble Date: 31 Jan 05 - 09:50 AM Thanks ever so much, dear Joe, for elevating this thread so more creative folks could catch its drift. Here are some more raw verses just to keep this thread dribbling along: Karl was in a pickle, No way he could dig out; His Audi buried in the snow, He'd freeze without a doubt. He cracked open a bottle of beer, Mulled o'er his sorry plight; And as his bladder began to fill, 'Twas then he saw the light! Sixty bottles were in his Audi, To a party he'd been bound; Why he'd piss his way back to the top As he swigged the beer on down! Bet there is a moral to this song. Cheerily, Charley Noble, who has to go! |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 31 Jan 05 - 10:37 AM Well, if Joe Offer can post the lyrics to "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow", I can post the lyrics to that song's continuation, also known as... Nanook Rubs it In (well, right about that time people A fur-trapper (who was strictly from commercial) Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo (peekaboo) ) And he started into whippin' on my favorite baby seal With a lead-filled snowshoe) I said, with a Lead- Filled With a lead filled snowshoe He said, peekaboo I said, with a Lead- Filled With a lead filled snowshoe He said, peekaboo He went right upside the head of my favorite baby seal He went whap with a lead-filled snowshoe, and He hit him on the nose and hit him on the fin, and he That got me just about as evil as an eskimo boy can be. so I bent down And I reached down, and I scooped down and I gathered up a generous Mitten-ful of the deadly yellow snow The deadly yellow snow, from right there where the huskies go! Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow Crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous Circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined To take the place of the mudshark in your mythology Here it goes,the circular motion, now rub it! (here fido) And then In a fit of anger I pounced And I pounced again Great googly moogly! I jumped up and down on the chest of the him I injured The fur trapper Well he was very upset, as you can understand And rightly so, because the Deadly yellow snow crystals had Deprived him of his Sight And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said I can't see I can't see Oh, woe is me I can't see Well.....you know I can't see Nothin' He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye And the husky wee-wee I mean the doggie wee-wee Has blinded me And I can't see Temporarily Well, the fur-trapper stood there, with his arms outstretched across the Frozen white wasteland, trying to figure out what he was going to do about His deflicted eyes. And it was at that precise moment that he remembered An ancient eskimo legend, wherein it is written (on whatever it is that They write it on up there) that if anything bad ever happens to your eyes As the result of some sort of conflict with anyone named Nanook, The only way you can get it fixed up is to go Trudging across the tundra Mile after mile Trudging across the tundra Right down to the parish of st. alphonzo ...................................................... But that's another song. And I apologize for the lousy capitalization etc. in that transcription, but I just copied and pasted the thing and it ain't a folk song so I'm not gonna spend a lotta time fixin' some other fool's mess. |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Dharmabum Date: 31 Jan 05 - 12:42 PM THE FATE OF DICKIE KRAL My name is Dickie Kral, & I'll tell you of my tale, Of how my life near ended, If not for drinking ale. I'd set out on a journey, T'was to be a holiday, With a grand cache' of liquor, I was well upon my way. I was tooling down the highway, Leaving all my cares behind, When all at once the world shook, & I found myself snowblind. I gathered all my senses, & Attempted to dig out, But the snow was insurmountable, I was a "goner"with no doubt. "I guess I'm gonna die" I thought, As calm replaced my fear, "I suppose it's just my time to go", Then I spotted all that beer. "Well,if my fate's so written", "And I can't reverse the flow", "I'll not fight & struggle", "But shitfaced I will go". So I commenced imbibing, As I surrendered to my fate, But soon my fate was detoured, As I had to urinate. As I stood there contemplating, It didn't take me long, To see the key to my salvation, Was in my fridgid schlong. So I pee'd & drank, & drank & pee'd, & A foot or two I'd go, & I made my way to freedom, By writing my name in the snow. Now they say you shouldn't drink & drive, Or a heavy fine you'll pay, But it was Boozin'in my car, That saved my life that day. D.B. |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: MaineDog Date: 31 Jan 05 - 01:13 PM Well I have heard tell of brewers' statistics that say they the Slovaks drink more beer per capita than anyone else, is that because they have more avalanches to deal with? |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: Charley Noble Date: 31 Jan 05 - 01:31 PM Bravo, DB! What a fine "schlong"! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Swave N. Deboner Date: 31 Jan 05 - 02:28 PM Charley, I opened this thread at around 7:00 this morning and started right out putting together my contribution. I had to put it on the back burner though (I'm at work). When I came back to it, I read your great contribution. Just want you to know, my use of the phrase, "...in a right pickle" is an honest coincidence and not any attempt to steal your words. Borrowed tune: She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain I'm a Slovak by the name of Richard Krahl, And on me this high adventure did befall, Well, I'm lucky that I'm here, And I owe my life to beer, Now here's my tale, as best I can recall. I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car, I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car, In my Audi I was going, And Lord, how it was snowing! I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car. I got buried in an avalanche of snow I got buried in an avalanche of snow When I realized what hit me, I knew no one'd come to git me, 'Cause my whereabouts nobody'd ever know. Well, I sat there all alarmed and filled with fear, And I thought, "You're in a real pickle here!" Then I rolled down the window, Tried to use my hands to scoop snow, Which was futile, so I quit and had a beer. I had with me sixty bottles of that brew, And as I sat and pondered what to do, I drank one, and then another, And then I thought, "Oh bother! When I need a pee, what am I going to do?!" Then a plan began to take shape in my brain, The more I drink, the more I'll need to drain, I recalled, once in a blizzard, When I had to "drain the lizard", Where I peed, it left a melted, yellow stain. So, I set about in earnest to get free, I drank and drank until I had to pee, When I pissed, the snow would melt, And even though it smelt, I kept going out of sheer necessity. Just as my beer supply was running low, I had pissed my way through 15 feet of snow, Stumbling legless down the pass, I kept on falling on my ass, Then a rescue team conveyed me down below. |

Extra points for you! And more points for: I recalled, once in a blizzard, When I had to "drain the lizard"... just john- So bad!

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...... From: Swave N. Deboner Date: 31 Jan 05 - 11:52 PM Shanghaiceltic, Thanks for starting this thread. This is the kind of dire straits I wouldn't mind being in. Imagine having such a good excuse to get shitfaced. Charley, Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot coming from you, a "Catter" of your good standing. So, here's the song again, with some changes and an added verse to mention the mountains. And, for Just John, I added another verse to work in "Bladder Day Saint." Thanks for the idea. Borrowed tune: She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain I'm a Slovak by the name of Richard Kral, And on me this high adventure did befall, Well, I'm lucky that I'm here, And I owe my life to beer, Now here's my tale, as best I can recall. In the Slovak Tatra Mountains this occurred. Now, I realize my story sounds absurd. It sounds far-fetched to me, too, But I swear to you it's true. It's the damndest tale that you have ever heard. I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car, I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car, In my Audi I was going, And Lord, how it was snowing! I was drivin' 'round the mountain in my car. I got buried in an avalanche of snow! There was tons of it on top, with me below. When I realized what hit me, I knew no one'd come to git me, 'Cause my whereabouts nobody'd ever know. Well, I sat there all alarmed and filled with fear, And I thought, "You're in a real pickle here!" Then I rolled down the window, Tried to use my hands to scoop snow, Which was futile, so I quit and had a beer. I had with me sixty bottles of that brew, As I sat and contemplated what to do, I drank one, and then another, And then I thought, "Oh bother! When I need a pee, what am I going to do?!" Then a plan began to take shape in my brain, The more I drink, the more I'll need to drain, I recalled, once in a blizzard, When I had to "drain the lizard", Where I peed, it left a melted, yellow stain. So, I set about in earnest to get free, I drank and drank until I had to pee, When I pissed, the snow would melt, And even though it smelt, I kept going out of sheer necessity. Just as my beer supply was running low, I had pissed my way through 15 feet of snow, Stumbling legless down the pass, I kept on falling on my ass, Then a rescue team conveyed me down below. My poor kidneys hurt from making so much pee, And my liver? Well, we'll have to wait and see. Though a pious man I ain't, I'm now the "Bladder Day Saint", For my feat has made me a celebrity. SND |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Feb 05 - 08:32 AM Swave- Even better! Say, Joe, ain't you proud that you agreed to levitate this thread from the BS realm? I was thinking that earning the title of "Bladder Day Saint" might have happened after Kral subsequently joined the avalanche emergency response team. Just a thought. So are we ready to wire the results to Dave Barry? Maybe we should wait another week for further refinements, or further developments in the news story, whichever come first. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Feb 05 - 02:53 PM Swave- Here's an alternative last verse, which I hope you'll accept in the spirit that it's offered: So now I've joined the mountain rescue team, It's the kind of job that seems so like a dream; Though a pious man I ain't, I'm now called the "Bladder Day Saint", And when someone's buried I piss a yellow stream. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Feb 05 - 02:55 PM Oh, I forgot. The title of this ballad has to be: THE URINATION OF RICHARD KRAL Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift..... From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Feb 05 - 09:23 PM Oh, I was checking the Urban Legend Website to see if they had verified this story yet and I'm sorry to say that they've been unable to as of yet. Their comment so far: "Origins: The story about a Slovak man who was buried inside his car by an avalanche, and supposedly freed himself by drinking beer and urinating on the snow to melt it, was carried by a number of western news services in January 2005. The story has so far proved difficult to verify because its attributions have been vague (e.g., "correspondents in Bratislava"), and it evidently originated in a part of the world (the Slovak Republic) where information sources are more difficult to track down (particularly because the language is unfamiliar to most westerners)." Not that we should let mere facts slow us down! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

That's a better finish than I could come up with, ya clever old so and so. I'll defer to a seasoned veteran every time. Thanks. I can't believe there were actually people who bought the story to begin with. It was a fun theme that got some good responses. That's all that matters. I hope to see some more song challenges soon, myth or fact, truth or legend. Cheers SND |

Does anyone else have any alternative media contacts? There's glory enough for all! And thanks, SND, for your complimentary words. However, you did the lion's share of that gripping ballad. Kral would have been so proud! And his loving wife? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
