Random Linkage

Hello Jesus!

Brittle-Bones.com. The navigation is a bitch but there are some very strange and unusual nuggets there if you click around enough [warning: some slightly disturbing imagery]

"The Doody Family - true faggot fanatics – are the family recently chosen in a nationwide search to find a family to represent Mr Brain’s Faggots. " Apparently "faggots" are yummy little pork ball treats over in the UK. Now I though a fag in the UK was a cigarette - now ya got me all confused...

Vintage Candy Salesbook. Great packaging from 1949 for my fellow retro fans.

Heh. My Magdelene. I like it.

The Doody Family: I think their first problem is their name. "Pork Faggots" - is pork a verb or an adjective? And what does "Win a Mr. Brain's Faggots Knees-Up!" mean? Maybe "fags" is cigarettes and the full out "faggots" is pork treats. And what the hell is a pork faggot anyway? Is it like Spam, but in a ball shape? Or potted meat?

Brain's faggots are a sausage-like delicacy (similar in concept to the haggis). Fags are cigarettes. The two are mutually exclusive in a definition sort of way.
