Big Desert firebug?

Submitted: Sunday, Jul 01, 2007 at 10:22

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses

Stories have taken time to escape the Big Desert but I understand that a South Australian EO Member tried to light up his 50 Series Land Cruiser. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't get over an 8 metre sand dune at the first attempt, that others were able to achieve.

They all stopped for a cup of tea and the said member decided to light up a wick on his LC tail gate. So determined was he to get it going, he used he used a gas torch concentrated on the said wick. He obviously was really disgusted with the LC ability. Glad he was away from an airport or security would really be after him right now.

You going to own up Mr Riverland?

Reports I have are sketchy, but we need to piece a bit more together. He doesn't have a (....choke....) Landcruiser does he? Believe he (Mr Riverland) or his better half must have been handling a cylindrical object of unknown liquid.

That looks an unfortunate trip Mr Garbutt {:-((

Blaze drives a Mitsy. But the one I'm thinking of drives a LC with a tent on the roof and an underslung spare tyre which I heard got hung up going up the sandhill.

I too have heard a whisper of a really old man having difficulty getting it up.

I (of course) would NEVER be soooo unkind as to refer to another EO member's 100 series Blandcruiser as a "50 series". Said EO member has been indicating to me for several years that he WISHES he'd been as smart as I am and bought a real 4 wheel drive vehicle like my Patrol....but in order to save face, he said that he would always find it necessary to slag-off at me whenever he gets a chance.

I'm such a nice bloke (of course) that there is NO WAY that I will dare to mention these 2 unfortunate events when I see him and his unfortunate good lady at Warraweena ........ I can't wait!!!!!!!!

The name Blaze and fire being in the same sentence would give one the impression that the story has been somewhat hatched and others being unwittingly sucked into a concocted tale.
The truth is out there and here it is. The mitSUBmashi had damaged itself in its drivers attempt to follow a standard 80series up same hill. All wheels were off the ground at the same time and things ratting loose would give one reason to think that they were in the vicinity of a demolition derby and He wanted the said wick to be applied to the mitSUBmishi as he new all warranties would be void if the truth was to escape. Typically of mitSUBmisho drivers, he wanted to destroy all evidence .

Des, that would have to rate as the weakest attempt at a come-back that I have ever read in recent times............you are now officially no longer my hero!!!

Hey Bonz, would you mind if I call YOU my hero from now on? You are much more adept at creating some major catastrophe and then managing to turn it around to make Lucy look like the stupid one....... (not all that difficult I guess.....but you do it sooooo well!!!!)

Well well WELL, I think Des is a tad Lexic here with his interpretation of events. The 8 mtr Hill that John R is inferring to Uncle Des was following the Mitsi he is inferring to and it was in the Mitsi's mirror that Lexics 5oseries was seen stopped on the hill.

The Hill he infers to in his reply with the Mitsi getting all wheels off the ground, (only because it can) was a 30mtr climb that the 50Yota couldn’t even get to the first corner. LOL

Enough to say that a bit of a mix-up in his perception of events, unfortunately for Uncle Des there are other witnesses who are only local Riverland 4X4 owners.

I think the tea towel is the wick, but I also heard that a gas cylinder was involved and flaming at that. With what I saw pictured in Jeep on TV, I reckon I know what he was up to.......

He got caught in camera though with the smoking evidence. Everyone knows where there is smoke there is fire Mr Lexic

At the top of one of the hills Mr Lexic was seen to take a dive into the sand head first, covering his face in sand. Now with his comments he has made about suspected muslim terrorists, this dive makes a bit more sense, he probably thought he seen some.

I just thought he was being clumsy as usual......

Hang-on, hang-on......I think I'm onto something here.......

Let's piece the bits together:

1). Fire
2). Petrol-can in background
3). A 4x4 vehicle of dubious merit, which (like the Jeep in Glasgow), has only ONE real purpose in life: to be torched.
4). T-towel (dead-set giveaway that Des is a terrorist)

It all adds up to Mr Lexic being the leader of a Muslim suicide-bomber terrorist cell that was practicing for a BIG BANG. My guess is that is was supposed to be timed to coincide with the event at Glasgow airport. But the plot went horribly wrong...... the master-mind was found severely wanting....... he couldn't light a fire, even with a full gas bottle, can of petrol and a flame-thrower at his disposal!

Now the BIG question is this:

"Has he now perfected his bomb-making skills to the point where he will confidently rock-up at Warraweena and take-out over 100 of Australia's best 4 wheel drivers?"

A secondary question might be:

"Is he financially backed by Mr Harold Screwball?" He would be the honorary darling of the Pedestrian Council for wiping soooo many of us nasty-pasty, tree-knocker-downerers and enemy of the walking folk.......His picture would hang proudly in Harold's bedroom.

It makes perfectly good sense to me. To think he nearly recruited me into this cell...Phew am I lucky.

I am tad worried about the amount of people this Mr Lexic knows around the country. He could have splinter groups in dozens of places, such as the York Peninsula, Peterborough, Western Victoria, etc. I checked in a local publication and it seems Mr Lexic is heading later in the year to South West WA, he has been already advertising for fellow interested persons to join him. This seems to prove this is no more than a recruiting trip,

The more we delve into this the more it makes sense what with some of the head wear I have seen Mr Lexic wearing at times and I believe he did a trip awhile back across the Anne Beadell trying to roundup camels for usage by his cells as the Yota’s have proved to be totally unreliable.

I also have no doubt his picture is already hanging in Harolds bedroom, if you think back it was long ago he allowed his Holden Screw Cab to roll along the road probably aimed at some Pedestrian to bring the us "nasty-pasty, tree-knocker-downerers" into disrepute, luckily as has all his attemps so far this was also a fiasco and it ran into a stationary 4X4.
