London - Gross Jar Update

Our gross jar has done extremely well since we last paid it a visit. The high average temperature over the last few months has resulted in our selection of stinking meat festering and decomposing into a nice homogeneous slime.

We knew we didn't want any more dead animals or lumps of flesh, but instead needed something that could soak up some of the liquid, and was still absolutely gross. It didn't take us long to come up with a solution: white man's dreadlocks.

London - Gross Jar

It’s been a while since we visited our little friend. In fact, we’ve left him up there on the roof of the Old Blue Last (now fully re-opened) all summer.
We were a little reticent about visiting him after so long and quite scared at the sight / smells that would greet us when we got to him.

New Zealand - Gross Jar Update

If you haven't already noticed, we're taking it nice and slow with our Gross Jar at the moment. No point in getting ahead of ourselves and peaking too soon, we like to keep our serious partying till the early hours of the morning while everyone else is passing out around us and getting taxis home. That's what all the Euro Vice offices are doing with things like pigs heads, over the top condom counts and just too much mass in general. What? You guys want to be done in six months? Nothing's even had a proper chance to fester and really breakdown into a dry-retch inducing visual and nasal assault.

London: Gross Alert

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
A public Masturbate-a-thon, the first ever to be held in Europe, takes place in Clerkenwell, London on 5 August 2006. Masturbators ask friends, colleagues and loved ones to sponsor them to raise money for AIDS charities, in order to take part. The amount raised is determined by how many minutes participants take to masturbate and / or the number of orgasms they achieve.  You can also get sponsored simply for having the “courage” to turn up and participate.

Look guys, this kind of shit may wash in San Francisco, but not over here. It’s going to be like the recent Japanese flood that killed 15 people, but a flood made out of un-tested, possibly HIV-ridden semen and vaginal secretions (A.K.A. love juice).

We decided to call up organiser Tony Kerridge to ask WTF he was playing at.

Australian Gross Jar Update

New Ingredients: cigarette butts and butt juice, 1 corn scraped from a toe, 1 pig's trotter, piss.

We entered the Gross Jar arena pretty aggressively with our original combo of dog and human poo, a raw egg and various other bits of fragrant flotsam and jetsam, so left it alone for a good while so all the bits could get acquainted and settle in. It’s fucking freezing in Melbourne at the moment so there’s not as much development as there might be if we had some hot sun to stir things up, but all the moist ingredients have eventually melded into a cloudy, pus-like layer at the bottom while the dog and human waste has maintained its form and asserted its position as second layer in the jar. The occasional glimpse of plug hair or dental floss squished up against the glass provides a nice little distraction from the other textures.

Germany - Glas Des Grauens Update

Now that Summer is finally here, the only two thing people are talking about are how fucking hot it is and the World Cup. The side effect is that every single bar is full of sweaty football fans getting pissed. After the England vs. Sweden game last week, we were leaving the office when we saw two English fans standing outside on the street. On closer inspection we saw that one of them was actually taking a poop on the pavement while his buddy kept lookout.

London - Gross Jar Update

With the recent hot weather, the streets of Dalston have been engulfed in the smell of rotting flesh left out by butchers in Ridley Road market. Without adequate refrigeration, the meat and fish has been festering into maggot-infested pulp. It’s been such a problem that Hackney council have warned market traders who leave meat out overnight that they will be taken to court. One council spokesman held a handkerchief over his face and said: “this is particularly unpleasant in hot weather”.

New Zealand - The Birth Of A Gross Jar

Over the last year we've been getting a few people asking about the local Gross Jar. Have we started it? When will we start it? Can I start it for you? And so on.
To be honest it's always been on our minds, pretty much since day one and we've been waiting for the day where big Jesse Pearson (god himself), sticks his head through the clouds and with a booming aural directive, thrust upon us the burden, and honour, of our own pet Gross Jar.
