Ask Bruce, he'll tell you :D

675177 2008-06-04 23:14:00 Damn, wish I'd seen $400 bucks together at one time. Although there was the time I got to stick $1000 bucks in my mouth for a cover shoot. They took it all back though. We wiped the saliva off and gave it back to the bank. Biggles (121)

Jez, can't remember. Early 90s. We did the photo shoot on the very day that the changed the old $100 bills for the new look ones. We'd asked the bank to save us $1000 worth, so we could do the shoot but when we got there they'd sent them all in for destruction. We had to trawl around a few branches trying to rustle up the cash.

But at least I know what $1000 tastes like.

Bah! I was a professional. We shun such dangers in pursuit of our goals. Besides, it sure beat the time I had plasticine slapped on my head to disguise me as Star Trek's Mr Worf at what must count as the most ill-advised, ill-conceived and poorly executed PCW Awards ceremony ever.

I couldn't look at claymation animation for years afterwards without breaking out in a cold sweat.
