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.

More importantly, summer is on the horizon so we want to prepare a solid base, perhaps around the 1/4 full mark, and then harness the suns power to put this puppy into overdrive. Besides, we don't have an intern yet to torture with Gross Jars tasks.
So based on that theory we've recently made two subtle additions. The first being fresh Kahawai (sea trout) guts and eyeballs. If you look closely you can even see what it had for lunch just before we caught it. This will contribute to aroma nicely and, given time, will turn into a malleable liquid mush thus becoming part of the overall grossness.
Secondly was my big toenail. It fell off, girls reckon it's gross so I thought it should go in.
As I said, still taking it slowly but more to come soon.
be fucking careful cos these things are dangerous.
we're talking serious poisoning here, death, amputation, the works.
imo as NZ is so far away from the rest of the world, you need to add some local flavour, something unattainable in other parts of the world, something alive maybe, like a giant spider like the one in 'lord of the rings'. maybe that or an ancient maori curse or something.
good luck.

Okay, if that is an actual picture of said toenail, that thing deserves a jar of it's own. A jar within a jar maybe?

That toenail is a true thing of beauty. A work of art, even. When I first saw it before reading the article, I thought, "Nice, they're going to put a clam shell in the jar. I hope the meat is still attached."

ya'll should add the ass end of one of those lamb skewers you see everywhere in NZed.
meaning at the end of the day those K-Bob shops always have the thin remainder of the days lamb harvest.
Better yet get the remnant skewer and let sit, un-refrigerated, in a pool of urine, then add.
