11.30pm,5 beers and I've went outside for a smoke.
Unsurprising,but then I witnessed some behaviour I just cant fathom.
There was a chap,about 20 yards or so away,acting very strangely.
He appeared to be trying to stamp at a bush,whilst using his mobile phone to attempt to record what he was trying to do.
He stamped 2-3 times,shouted 'Shoot' a couple of times,stooped to pickup a handful of dirt twice,threw them at whatever he was trying to stamp on,and then ran away and ducked behind some other bushes when he noticed I was watching him.
Now I'm thinking a couple of things.One of those is 'Meth-Just say No.'.
Thats probably my preferred option.
The other is that he was attempting to film himself stamping a snake to death,and possibly failing.
Either way,I wasn't going over to check to see if there was a pissed off,possibly hurt snake,or a meth-head hiding in those bushes.
I quietly finished up my cigarette and came back indoors.
