New Drink for Summer: Rum and Bloke

Posted by on May 5 at 12:09 PM

Builders at a house in Hungary drank a barrel of rum, only to find a pickled corpse at the bottom, a Hungarian police website has reported.

Story here.

I think what's more disturbing is that they drank a barrell of rum big enough to hide a body in! How could you even see straight enough to build anything after that?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Rum and bloke", that's awesome. Are you sure you're not Schmader?

Reminds me of the apocryphal story of how Lord Nelson's body was returned to England in a barrel of rum, or was it sherry, to preserve it.

Only in Hungary would they actually run a story like this and call it news. Evidently they have never heard of urban legends before. This story has been around for a loooooong time.

Go ahead and Snopes it.

Still gross, tho. Ew. EWWW!!!

this belongs in david schmader's stiff-- yuk, but may have improved the flavor

Dylan: It's not Hungary that's reporting this, but the BBC!

Also, if I drank corpse rum, I would never stop puking.

Actually, I think the last time I had rum and bloke was in the bathroom of Rebar.

Ah, the bathrooms at Re-bar. I had a bloke in 'em once too. That was 11 years ago, and he's still around...

Geez, Dan, let the poor guy out of the bathroom, will ya? Eleven years? It's just not right.
