See, now you guys just have no sense of humor.

and one of the graphics artists on another forum saw fit to modify the picture at my expense, saying I should be more cautious about taking pictures with mirrors in the background.

Yeah right, Just come clean, we will support you in your alternative lifestyle.

That is some funny stuff right there.

I recently picked up a couple of 80 gal plastic drums with screw on lids for $20 each at a similar type of store. They were once filled with pickled jalapeno peppers, it took about a year for the smell to go away. They are now rain water collection barrels but wouldn't be much use as a burning barrel after the first use.

Use a manuel deheader on any drums that held unknown susbstances.There is a story of a drum that held windshield washer fluid, it blew up.

I have read about removing the lids (in Farmshow magazine) with a pipewrench and hammer. Open the jaws so they fit over the edge of the drum and hit with a hammer. It'll shear open the lid, just work your way around the lid.

Thank you. I tried this the other day and it worked great. Went fairly quickly, gave my forearms a workout, and left a clean result.
