I get that you're upset about these things, but they don't really have anything to do with this post.
Even the comment you're replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.
I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth
It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh
I've never actually done a shoey
To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.
I don't want to soak my shoes and have to keep wearing them, I buy good shoes and don't want to ruin them, and I sure as shit wouldn't do one from my work boots
Its funny when you're young, drunk and stupid. Turns out its actually pretty dangerous since shoes have a lot of bacteria that you shouldnt be drinking.
Oh, it definitely isn't on my to-do list, but it's not the worst thing in the world
I guess you're right about that, FistingEnthusiast
