And this is why we love Kathmandu
I discovered the joys of shopping at Kathmandu *coughproductplacementcough* recently, due to my upcoming (gulp) trip to Middle Earth. I'm sorry, did I say Middle Earth? I meant to say Middle Earth.
New Zealand. New Zealand.
I believe my Freudian slip is showing.
Hoom. Where was I? Little Orcs...
*shakes head to clear it of LotR references. Lone brain cell rattles gently against inside of brainpan*
Anyway, was discussing said love of Kathmandu with Nebuloid, and she produced this beautiful description of 60's camping equipment (specifically lamps), which I decreed would to be shared with all of you ZuckerBaby-ites out there. And here it is:
'So convenient! Petrol driven instead of messy paraffin! Use the same petrol as you use in your automobile! Only requires 40 minutes of preparation to light! Warning: You must be standing at least 10 feet way from the lamp while lighting. Has been known to explode with a light breeze coming from the NNW. So easy a 10 year old can light it.'
And the moral of this story is...erm...camping is funny.
Oh my god! Look over there!! *Points into the distance and then runs away*
