MELBOURNE - TASMANIAN TIDBITS

You may remember our 'Wild Cats' blog that we posted last week about our editorial team disappearing into the Tasmanian wilderness for a week. Well their social skills have returned to their normal state (which isn't saying much) and they have finally started to talk to us about what happened down there although they still seem to be piecing it together themselves after recovering from serious episodes of Tas-MANIA. All they can confirm is that 'Nature is way more fun with drugs and alcohol' and that 'Tasmanians are fucking crazy'. And if you have any doubts about that then check out these tidbits they brought us back some from the souvenir shop aboard the 'Spirit of Tasmania' ferry.

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, traps for mosquito's, recipes for cheese sandwiches think everyones has two heads. I paid $6.95 for about 50 servings.
