So Morty how’s it going.
It iz not this Morty….it is Meurte….for Death. (old line from a spy movie)
So it’s “Belt of the Day” again and you just have to scope out this wicked buckle design.
You have to love this funky little South American masterpiece.
Meurte. As I’ve just shown from the movie caption, means death, or closer to the actual persona of Death, which in Mexico is a female figure known as Santa Muerte, which doesn’t mean Santa Clause is actually Death in disguise, although it may explain quite a few things
Santa Muerte will supposedly accept offerings to give her followers luck, protection or to improve their love lives.
There are even public shrines to this “almost god” in Mexico, her shrines are often covered with red crosses and offerings, such as cigars, roses and bottles of tequila…that’s one interesting set of offerings, sounds like a party god. Something like Baccus if my memory serves correctly.
The Mexicans also have the festival for the dead where massive elaborately designed skeletons are led through the towns in a parade….super cool, I’ve always wanted to see it for myself. The skulls on the belt are very similar and also have a correlation to the “Mexican Wrestling” community.
All I know is that this double skull Muerte buckle is “beyond the grave”.
My name is written all over one of these puppies….shweeeeet.
Duncs.
Look out below…bombs away!
Alright guys and girls time to run for your lives and dive into the closest bunker. *KABOOOM*
Ok so I’m being a bit overboard today. That’s coz today is special…the Tshirt of the day, or shall I say, Belt of the Day is upon us. Yiipppppeee.
We have some awesome new belts in store that I just have to blog about.
let’s scope out the hardcore “Baron”.
When I say Baron is hardcore I mean it. Sheesh this is a messed up skull of a World War fighter pilot.
He was up there shooting down the good guys with a smile on his face and making kiddies run in fear and dive into the deepest hole they could find around the time our grandparents were teenagers.
I’d say that Baron probably isn’t the nicest guy around and you surely wouldn’t want him dating your daughter, but man he’s got some hectic powers and you would probably sleep easier if he had “your back”.
Imagine the power complex Hitler had, knowing that he had thousands of these guys buzzing all over Europe doing his bidding….crazy despotic madman.

Ello there G’s & G’s
Firstly, I have to warn you that the Tshirt of the Day is a bit of a weird one today.
Shark Piano by Craze is undoubtedly one of the more vicious and uncertain designs we have ever had.
Let’s have a look at this “interesting” design shall we.
Ok so I’ve heard of people getting annoyed with musicians when they play badly or don’t play the music they want to hear…but a shark so deranged with madness that it jumps out its tank, flops on stage and devours a pianist? Surely that a little…over the top.
Well apparently in the Craze world anything is possible. I just hope this doesn’t become a trend and we have great white sharks roaming the streets of Cape Town looking for noisy taxi drivers….then again I’m sure some people would pay them in fish to eat them LOL.
Honestly I haven’t got a clue about the message that’s trying to be put across here, but in some sick twisted way it is pretty funny. Craze you sure have a wacked sense of humour.
This bizarre design is definitely for the more open minded and outrageous amongst you, I don’t think I could wear this one out in public, let alone to a family function…what would granny say if she saw this one.
Maybe Craze’s parents forced him to play piano day in and day out, while all the other kids were watching the feeding times at the aquarium…who knows.
So what do u all think of this one, is it special, a little too special that it becomes “special”.
All I know is that I’m too afraid to go anywhere near a concert hall.
Be safe, pray you can run faster than land based sharks…..sand sharks? No no let’s not go there.
Duncs.

What is it with the judicial system in South Africa? When do they get anything done the right way?
I went to court last Thursday and boy was it a day to forget. I arrived half an hour early wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible. Wishful thinking. I left a good six, yes six, hours later. What a circus!
There were three cases being heard in the court and all three were adjourned. What a joke. I soon realised why there is such a backlog in the courts…it’s because nothing gets done. A thirty minute tea break took an hour and ten minutes, I am getting tense just thinking about it!
The guy we were pressing charges against had two names. So as he was being led down to the holding cells he was brought back up to be charged again for another offence! Welcome to Africa.So now I have to miss another day of work and go back to the courts on 2 April for what I know will be another day of utter misery. Surely the officials must know this is going on, but I think it must be a case of you scratch my back I scratch your back set up because it is impossible to ignore.
Wish me luck, because I am definitely going to need it!
