Fresh Tar

NOT nicotine...
New road tar, NOT quite set....
Bare soles....

 

Is wonderful?

 

Yes

 

Bare soles on fresh tar:sunny:

 

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Are you insane?

 

Tis Quite Possible He Is, But Acting Slightly Insane Can Be Fun.....



Cheers Glen.

 

Hot!

 

Wonder how long the soles stayed black?

 

Wow! wouldn't be too popular walking across the living room carpet with those soles!

 

i know I worked on the garden outdoors today and was stomping dirt barefoot.. It was amazing..

then while painting the gutters still I took burnt red and went on my soles and walked a little on the roof leaving tracks..

 

I'd love to do that!

 

actually tar wouldn't be my best loved surface to tread on barefoot. it is toxic and a damned poison overall but i guess it cant do much harm each now and then. i believe that's going to keep your soles black for quite some time though.

 

I did this on holiday in cornwall once, the road to the hotel from the beach had only just been resurfaced!! It wasnt too hot, must have been sitting for like a half hour or so, it felt awesome - really gooey and sticky! My feet were black for ages - wouldnt come off properly for weeks. Of course my mates all thought i was mad, but i thought what the hell, its probably the only chance ill ever get!!

 

yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is all very interesting to me. When I was a kid I totally wanted to do this, figuring my feet would be black for a year. Only thing stopping me was certain death by parent. I love the picture. Maybe this summer when they redo some roads in town......

 

In the meantime, I think NY and the subways are calling me for a visit tomorrow. Almost as good.

 

Now soft, freshly laid pavement I can understand, but how anyone can put a happy smiley below a picture of such pollution, is beyond me. I'm not one of those treehugging hippies who is against *all* asphalt, oil, roads etc -people have to be able to drive, fuel their cars, etc- but this is just gross, don't y'all care for our planet at all? :ack2:

 

This thread manifestly does NOT concern environmental awareness.........

 

I do have an environmental sensibility, but I also like to drive on roads without potholes. Since the tar is just an ingredient of asphalt this does not rise to a level of concern for the planet or the galaxy for that matter. And besides, like I said, I would definitely like to do that.
