WE ARE ALL GHOSTS

Slow death: Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) - the art of Self-mummification.

(When seppuku (切腹, “stomach-cutting”) just isn’t enough…)

For three years the priests would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts and seeds, while taking part in a regimen of rigorous physical activity that stripped them of their body fat. They then ate only bark and roots for another three years and began drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree, which contains Urushiol (same stuff that makes poison ivy), normally used to lacquer bowls. This caused vomiting and a rapid loss of bodily fluids, and most importantly, it made the body too poisonous to be eaten by maggots. Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed.

Some of the many band logo rip offs/band name food puns Bake Flag have done over the last year.

Bake Flag is Jessie, Lisa and Kelso (myself) selling 100% vegan treats at shows/events in sydney and outer regional areas to raise money for animal/human/other related charity organizations.
Add us on Facebook (facebook.com/bakeflag) and keep up to date with what shows/events we will be having sales at.

P.S I only come up with some of the names, Lisa and Jessie do all the photoshop/paint stuff.

This is so cool haha

Be warned. The peanut butter fudge is dangerously addictive and will rob you of all your loose change.
