MELBOURNE - TASMANIAN TIDS

By viceland

If you read our Australian blog a) sorry, you've already seen this, but b) you may remember that a week or so back two members of the Aussie editorial team vanished into the Tasmanian wilderness (which, as we understand it, is sort of like the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of heading to Alaska, if Alaska were the northern equivalent of Florida) and returned all crusty-eyed and untalkative. Well, it turns out they also brought back some Tasmaniacal souvenirs. Click below for a sampling of the Vaginal Isle's fineries.

Golly Wog I thought these things were illegal so I was pretty surprised to see a whole wall full of them for sale next to the postcard section in the shop. I have no idea what they have to do with Tasmania as they don't even have black people there.

Mosquito Trap They don't have any dangerous snakes or spiders in Tasmania but the mosquito's are the size of small birds. The instructions tell you use a camping knife to let some some blood from your finger and then drip it onto the touch sensitive base. It works in the same way as a bear trap. Really clever and useful.

Convict Recipe Book The first recipe in this book is for a 'Cheese Sandwich'. No fucking joke.

Tasmanian Postcard Tasmanians don't have two heads but I was at a pub in a mining town and a man came up to me with his wife's handbag and asked me to shit in it.

Acid Drops LSD in Tasmania is really cheap which could be why they sell dolls of black people from Mississippi, mosquito traps, recipes for cheese sandwiches think everyones has two heads. I paid $6.95 for about 50 servings.
