Add “barmaid” to your list of toxic things to avoid in Australia. The woman, a 23-year-old former employee of a Melbourne nightclub, and someone police say is “known for her prankster-style behavior,” served a patron a shot of Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant during a 6 a.m. “drinking bout.” The victim survived but developed ulcers on his skin. The ex-barmaid now faces “four charges of intentionally causing injury.” Man, everything cool happens in Australia. [Reuters]

Heathers is BIG FUN
Bars are open at 6 AM in Australia? I am so there.
Close but no cigar, I believe Heathers was drain cleaner and orange juice, but awesome reference. Makes me crave a turbo dog and a slushie.
Look on the bright side for the victim, at least his breath will be Pine Fresh for months.
Considering it’s Australia, ferchrissakes, I’m amazed they’re not downing shots of hydrochloric acid. Pine-sol? That’s almost …Canadian.
(US citizens would be equally rough-n-tough, so long as they got somebody else’s kids to do it)
Of course they bloody are, mate.
