It's the Monday Neatorama collaboration image!

The translated caption from 20minutos.es says
Selvaticos. Marine American drinks the blood of a cobra after an exercise of survival in the jungle in a field of training in Chanthaburi, Thailand.
Aye carumba! Zippy you never engaged in such an act, didya?

Be sure to visit our friends at Neatorama for more neato stuff all the time!

More proof that large groups of men do unnatural things when left to their own devices. Somebody needs a Den Mother.

Cool it with a cobra's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

If it was really training, why aren't they all doing it rather than one volunteer?

I think they're all queueing for their turn. You know, like at a vodka ice sculpture. One at a time please, plenty to go round.

Yeah, the wrestlers lost the name. They're now WWE.

The guy in the yellow shirt looks kinda sinister. Like he might be thinking "Ah, yes. My plan is working perfectly. Your soul is now mine, and you will do as I command, evil yankee pig." :firefox:

I'm new here, but...
The caption says they are American Marines, but check the writing on the left front pocket of the guy holding the snake. What language is that?

Welcome to the Cellar, Medic63:D
Notice the guy with the snake is wearing different camo. I'd assume he was a local military instructor.

Oops! I was editing my post, and decided to delete it, then I saw your reply.
Thanks for the welcome!
If anyone cares, my first post asked what the writing was on the pocket of the soldier holding the snake.

isn't snake blood supposed to give you 'special powers' or something?

Maybe 'the power to be never kissed by a woman again' for example.

Poof.. it's back. If you really want it gone you can delete it again or ask and I'll kill it.

No problem, I occasionally stumble down the Cellar stairs, myself.
