Have you ever done a shoey?
I've showed my arse to plenty of people, but I've never drunk from a grotty shoe, not sure I ever would.
FYI; I love these kinds of stories. Stupid, harmless and makes people smile.

Is this how tourists become were-Australians and start walking on the ceilings when they come back to the northern hemisphere?
I don't believe I've ever specifically bared my bum to randoms in public. Not that I'd be unwilling to under the right circumstances, but those circumstances simply haven't come up. I'd happily have participated in this event, for example.
I have not ever thought to drink from a shoe, however. And I'm really struggling to imagine the setting where I'd do that. Perhaps if I had just won a Formula One podium spot with Daniel Riccardo? Yep - I think I'd participate in a shoey in that situation.
I haven't, but years ago a manager from a company I worked for did one at a staff party. It was quite funny because she was an adult migrant from India so I'm not sure anyone expected it.
Watch it u might just get ur citizenship revoked for that admission.
Or be court ordered to do an uggboot shoey.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Travellers on one of Australia's most famous train journeys have been given a cheeky, yet traditional, welcome upon their arrival to the Northern Territory's Top End.
Twenty years ago, in 2004, the "Noonamah Moonies" — a group of Territorians from Darwin's outskirts — first dropped their dacks as iconic tourist train The Ghan approached its Darwin destination.
"There were people starkers just about, swinging their shorts," one original mooner recalled of the historic 2004 occasion.
Preaching the mantra of "get your backside trackside", the original mooners, along with hundreds of others, were back on Tuesday when the train returned to the tropics.
The group, which included many first-time mooners, bared their bums to greet the Ghan, which departs from Adelaide, travels through the Australian interior, and disembarks near Darwin.
If the once-a-decade tradition holds, Ghan travellers can expect to see the next "full moon" in 2034.
