All She Wanted


was a peaceful life, but instead she ended up with some of those plastic tears surgically emplanted on her cheek--the things you do to be in the pictures!

National Fruit


This, the Durian, is the national fruit of some country around here. It smells of Limburger cheese, looks like pus, tastes like onion and egg, is against the law to bring on the subway (S$1000 fine) but the aftertaste--heaven!

Hot Wheels


I think this thing can move out at about 0.6 fps. Hauls stuff too.

It's got the coolest label ever. Tastes good too. We had these at the (Temporary) Newton Circus Food Centre.

This guy's on the job.

Squatters Delight

Tropical Christmas
