Obviously, these two weren't too familiar with idea of carbon monoxide.

A couple of people died and one just barely made it after using one of those propane tent heaters near here a couple of years ago. What I don't get is how many camping stores carry the things. From what I understand, the lack of oxygen gets you before the carbon monoxide.

From what I've read, charcoal fires make carbon monoxide like nobody's business. You might as well run a pipe from the exhaust of your car into the tent to keep you warm.

I can just imagine the dialogue:

Bubba: Ya reckin we need to get a good sleeping bag?

Jim Bob: Nope, we can just get one of them there cheap WalMart charcoal grills to heat the tent with.

Bubba: Good idea,,we can use the money we save on the bags to buy more beer

Jim Bob: Ya know Bubba, this here is going to be a fun weekend

Bubba: H@ll yeah!

Welcome, sulphur dioxide,
Hello, carbon monoxide,
The air, the air is ev'rywhere.
Breathe deep while you sleep, breathe deep.

Bless you, alcohol blood stream,
Save me nicotine lung steam,
Incense, incense is in the air.
Breathe deep while you sleep, breathe deep.

Cataclysmic ectoplasm,
Fallout atomic orgasm,
Vapor and fume, at the stone of my tomb,
Breathing like a sullen perfume,
Eating at the stone of my tomb.

Welcome, sulphur dioxide,
Hello, carbon monoxide,
The air, the air is ev'rywhere.
Breathe deep while you sleep,
Breathe deep (cough) deep (cough) deep de deep (cough).




Ok, you old farts, remember the 60s???

A few yrs ago me and a buddy were in my camper at a NASCAR race. In the middle of the night another camper pulled up next to us and cranked up their generator. The exhaust pipe was pointed under my camper (idiots) and when I heard the noise I just rolled over and went back to sleep.

Another buddy came over to wake us up the next morning because he had made coffee ... only we didn't respond to his calls. He opened the door to my camper and realized what had happened. The exhaust gas had filled up my camper and me and my buddy were knocked out. My friend dragged us out of the camper and it took me about six hours to get back to normal. Felt like a super duper hang over.

We cussed the owner of the other camper and he left in a hurry. I almost got killed and it wasn't even my fault!!

What kind of idiots do stupid stuff like that? The bags of charcoal even let you know not to use that stuff indoors.

Stupid is as stupid does!!

would you expect more from NECKCAR fans? A man killed his family that way on purpose in CA a few months back... I think he's the only one that lived

The police report probably has the line: "alcohol was thought to be a contributing factor"

Tahoe, their reasoning probably went like this: "We ain't inside. Weez campin'...that's outdoors. That's why we need the tent, ya dang fool!"

Happened On Everest....
Something similar happened to a famous female climber, on Everest last year I think. She and a sherpa died in a tent...they were snowed in, and they only tried to heat up the tent with a little camping stove...they went to sleep and never woke up. Scary and sad.

Tilt, didn't ring a bell, even after finding the lyrics on the web. Was Frank Mills one of those "spoken" parts? I was certain you'd make the "Hair" connection. We probably have parallel record collections. Sometimes we think too much alike. You should be very frightened!

That's the neat thing about nature. Stupidity: It's a capital offense! Try appealling that to the Supreme Court!
