Pissing on the Bales

[madfrank]

With all the fuss in recent years about peeing on the hedges and Glastonbury being such and eco friendly place then why havent we seen these massive piles of pissy hay about the place?

I for one would fully endorse this as it would end all pissing in hedges and you would be giving something back to the land.

I can guess why - they had them at Shambala one year - by the second day there was a lake surrounding the hay - it's not really ideal for the number you'll get using them - the straw isn't the most absorbant material in the world.

[pezzypops]

because there's one hundred and eighty thousand people at glastonbury, all that piss could not be absorbed by a little hay and would end up in the watercourses - which is why they've been threatened to have their license pulled if they pollute the stream again.

a little piss can be good for the garden/whatever that article said, but not in industrial quantities.

and who'd clear away all that pissy hay at the end of the festival? you?

[.jay.]

f**k having to collect them all up at the end of the festival!

[Filthy]

It would certainly be the last straw for me

I guess it seemed like a good idea... it was pleasant enough to 'use' but yeah.. got kinda messy and didn't really work at Shambers. How about recycling using a plastic bottle? Simply add a purification tablet and hey free water! Mmmm.

they usually just leave and then press it to make straw pressed scrumpy

I think all scrumpy is straw pressed judging by the fact it ALL tastes of piss.

180,000 people

average of 2 litres of piss per person per day - but probably closer to three with the amount being drunk

thats 540,000 litres per day

2.7 million litres over 5 days

Thats more than enough to fill an Olympic sized pool

Why would I have to collect the pissy hay? Do you collect your piss at the festival then?

Anyway

Someone here did the math and there would be enough piss generated to fill an olympic swimming pool. It they just dug a hole that big and filled it with piss and hay we we would have an olympic swimming pool sized bale of good fertilizer. Im sure the starving orphans in Ethopia would be very grateful for that. Its the sort of thing Glastonbury is all about.

Are you going to be the one to tell the starving orphans in Ethiopia they cant have their olympic swimming pool sized pissy bale of hay/fertilizer this Christmas just because you dont want to be the one to collect it?

Or you could just piss in the toilets like most of us do.

I've seen how he ripped that lighting man to bits on the set of the last Terminator film. No way am I pissing on him or any of his family. Blokes a loon.

[madfrank]

With my luck I'd be the first to piss in the Olympic swimming pool full of straw and accidentally drop my joint in there...

They did this at the first Sunrise Celebration, by the 3rd day they were minging and turning black...also some very confused person had curled one off on one over the Saturday night/Sunday morning
