Weird? Only if you’re a weenie!

sourtoe-300.jpgWe have a story on a travel Website’s ”Top 10 weird activities” for travelers seeking the outlandish.

Oh please, what bogus bushwah! Shrove Tuesday pancake races? Birthday party with Eeyore? In our sleep this blog has written about weirder places, most recently the new Enema Monument.

To be very fair, I’ll concede the Sourtoe Cocktail, where you have to sip a drink containing a preserved human toe. That IS weird. I’ll even give them Cafe Gratitude, a restaurant where I’m sure I would throw the waiters through a plate glass window.

But apart from those, I scoff at their weenie list and offer these ten items in no particular order:
“You must be joking”  tourist site opens

Hostel environment: gloom with a view

Travel to Hannibal’s home! Lock up the fava beans, boys!

“Stick my arm WHERE?” tourism

Here’s me at a former power station, here’s me at…

What happens in Rat Island stays in…

Organ museum? Sweetie, I don’t hear any music!

I’m not naked, I’m wearing a pumpkin!

Many are cold, but few are frozen…

Point the gun at me and look mad!
