Flog It Blog It, That Is Caracas!

Today we hop over to Venezuela were angry citizens are facing a difficult time on the toilet. Mon Dieu the country is running out of loo roll. Many supermarkets in the South American state have completely run out of toilet paper. Worried consumers are queuing for hours to get their hands on a single sheet. The government has rushed to import 50 million rolls. Are they trying to paper over the cracks? However it may be too little too late for many angry members of the public as supplies bottom out. Pensioner Manuel Fagundes failed to find a single sheet during his shopping trip to Caracas and he told our reporter from Molly Media, ‘This is the last straw. I'm 71 years old and this is the first time I've seen this. While Cristina Ramos added, ‘I've been looking for some for two weeks. I was told that they had some here and now I'm in line waiting.’ Butt it is s not just toilet paper Venezuela is running out of, supermarket shelves have also been cleared of milk, butter and coffee as the crisis continues due to low prices set by the Socialist government. Since the death by dictator Hugo Chavez, state controlled prices have been set below real market prices result in hoarding and therefore shortages.  But Chavez's successor President Nicolas Maduro claims anti government forces are deliberately clearing shelves, in a bid to destabilise the country. Hmmm actually we have news for you…..we think it is the Japanese.

Dog House Blog, Flying High!

Hopping over to the landlocked country of Swaziland today we bring you breaking news that the nation has launched a crackdown on high flying witches after banning them from hovering above 150 metres. Yes it has been a long time since witches were burnt at the stake in Europe but they take these matters seriously over there. Anyone caught flying their broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000 fine, the countrys’ Civil Aviation Authorities said last week. A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the 150 metre limit, corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini told our reporter from Molly Media. The new aviation law was highlighted after a private investigator was caught flying a helicopter equipped with a video camera to gather surveillance information. Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the power of black magic. Yes a nice box of Black Magic (chocolates) is taken very seriously over here too. The statute also forbids toy helicopters and children’s kites from ascending too high into the countrys’ airspace. Swazi brooms are short bundles of sticks tied together and do not have handles. Swazi witches are known to use them to fling potions about homesteads and obviously some use them for transportation. Last year a leading Swazi MP called for a hike in tax paid by witch doctors to help ease the cash strapped countrys’ financial woes. So remember when in Swaziland fly low!

Flog It Blog It, Take A Chill Pill It's Roadkill!

On the hunt for that killer accessory then designer Reid Peppard could have just the thing for you. The American artist creates taxidermy artworks and jewellery based on basically road kill and other assorted vermin. No it’s not Shocktober yet, but macabre fashion fans will drool over these creations. Reid claims that her work is entirely ethical as the animals she uses have already died of natural or unpreventable causes and are often discovered and donated by friends. Hmmm those are some really weird friends she has there. Her latest collection PET features regular metal jewellery inspired by and cast from a bunny, a cat and a canary. She says, this collection is a playful look at the domesticated animals we share our lives with. Yikes guys I won’t be going anywhere near her studio and thank you I’ll keep my own roadkill for the pot.

Lark in The Park, Park Day 2!

A Lark In The Park!

So why chase a Squirrel? There's a danger you know,

You can't just chase one, for the craving will grow.

There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger,

But you have to watch out, don’t get caught by the Ranger.

So how about another? Would I really dare?

They're really quite tricky to chase, I do swear.

With quiet paws, softly into the woods I tread,

And then it’s off at top speed for a chase, enough said.

If only I could catch one and put in on a plate,

I’d have it for supper and that would be great.

Between two pieces of bread all fresh and crusty,

But alas they get away I must be getting rusty.

How I suffer, but what do you care?

You could at least help there is plenty spare.

So why not come and join me there is plenty of room,

And together we can go hunting and spell the squirrels doom.

So each day to the park I go with squirrels on my mind,

What a hard life I have with this daily grind.

Each one is so special, I remember each chase so well,

I think I’ll put my nose down and see what I can smell.

So why chase a Squirrel? There's a danger you know,

You can't just chase one, for the craving will grow.

There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger,

But to stop chasing them, I can think would be stranger.

Flog It Blog It, It’s Tasty Tuesday Or Maybe Not!

Themed restaurants are nothing new but as always the land of the bizarre take the idea to a whole new level. 

It all started with Alcatraz! The setting is a medical prison and the patrons are the patients. The waitresses are dressed like nurses and upon entry they handcuff you and lock you into your dining cell.

How about the vampire café with it’s colour red theme and full of candelabras, broken mirrors, skulls, and a large centre piece coffin?

For people who who think about breaking into a Catholic Church and drinking sacramental wine, there’s Christon Café.

Try some canabalistic shushi?  Of course the body is fake, and made entirely of edible foodables, but it is kind of creepy.

Let's go Ninja? The entrance leads to a maze of cave-like corridors where staff escort you through a labyrinth of trap doors and trick drawbridges before seating you at your private table. The meals are themed after ninjas and feudal age Japan.

Some girls never outgrow their princess fantasies, and if you live in Japan, you can luxuriate in all the princess regalia you can stomach at the Princess Heart restaurant. 

If you are an Alice in Wonderland fan this one is for you. The restaurant includes playing card dining tables, giant teacup booths, a magic forest, and heart-shaped chandeliers.

The eatery is known as Biohazard Cafe and Grill and features Resident Evil-themed food, props, and an unlimited supply of dancing girls in very short shorts.

The appropriately named Robot Restaurant where you can have a drink, eat a bento box and watch robots stage an hour long mock fight to the latest Lady Gaga hit.

The first menu you’ll see at Calico Cat Café in Tokyo is the cat selection. The staff provide complimentary bags of dried cat food that can be used to attract your desired playmate while you sip your tea.

Please, please we so want a dog version! I'd work there 24/7!

Tuesday just got tastier thanks to Sugars' Tasty Tuesday Blog Hop Here !
