Jas Nagra uses green fuels in his hotrods
Well, at least I can make that argument (based on the color of the pumps) so I can blog this great little scene by Jas Nagra on Earth Day. Heh heh.

The beef on the hooks is fantastic.
Impressive new SNOT technique by ImpreSariO

Using the same basic architecture, Jas swaps the pieces for paninis:

There are two more similar vignettes created in the past. Check out Bruce’s Yin to my Yang and Moko’s White and Black.
Cleanup on aisle 3
Jarek‘s first little dio depicts an uncanny accident involving a forklift and what appears to be a dangerous nuclear waste bomb. This can’t be good, but what is good is the forklift model, which is so nicely constructed.
