Pine Needle Tea
Submitted by Mad Dave, UK.
In the email that came with this submission, the author told us of his excitement
at the thought of entering our current
competition.
Well, that's not exactly how he put it. We can't quote him exactly, because of our increasingly desperate attempts to keep this a politically correct and family-friendly site, in spite of our forums being overrun with hairy motorcyclists.
But if you imagine someone like Graham Norton, for example, wearing a blindfold, and then being taken to a hotdog factory, then, well, that's about how excited the author was. That's all we are saying.

Making Pine Needle Tea
When in a survival situation and things are looking bleak, learn how to make a cup of Pine needle tea. Bursting with vitamin C, after drinking this I guarantee things won't seem at all bad...First boil some water in macho military cooker:
While you wait for the water, grab some pine needles off the nearest unsuspecting Christmas tree, leaving tinsel, baubles and lights behind. And chop em up:
Put the chopped up needles in a cup and add boiling water. Allow the needles to soak for about 5 minutes:
Finally settle down and enjoy this fine beverage that's bursting with vitality and health-giving properties:
I guarantee after sampling your fist cup, surviving out on the mountain won't seem such a bad prospect.
Can I have my prize now?

[The Editor speaks: "It's another biker!"]
[Henry speaks: "That's a wild assumption. How can you tell just from that photo?"]
[The Editor speaks: "Oh come on, it's obvious. Just look at him! They're all the same!"]
[Vic speaks: "You've got a point, I suppose. Hmmm..."]
[The Editor speaks: "I bet he's in the forums, too. I just bet he is!"]
[Henry speaks: "Yep. He is."]
[The Editor speaks: "What are we going to do!? This place has gone to the dogs!"]
[Henry speaks: "Just go with the flow. Change the site name to Blue Oyster Bar. Job done."]
[The Editor speaks: "Whaaaaaaaat!!!"]
[Flossy speaks: "Baa-aaa-aah!"]
