I haven’t had the chance to update this thing in a while so I thought I’d just open up iPhoto and look for a quick flick to post and immediately found these little dudes, taken from a shop window in Nagoya. No idea what they were doing, they weren’t for sale, just little burnt Gumbie Bros. on display. They made me laugh though.

whoa, they’re like a strange japanese gumby/california raisin hybrid race…you should call them Coulda-been-paper Rad.
this is incredible, do they actually talk? If they talked, sang, danced, made me breakfast and cleaned my room, this would be a dream come true. Maybe that’s why people ask for them for christmas… I want a little singing, dancing, talking, cooking, cleaning little charcoal buddy.
Dear Sir,
We are Backbone Technologies LTD(RC 690687), a leading exporter of quality hardwood charcoal in Nigeria. We use the best selected hardwood from the tropical forest in the western part of Nigeria to produce hardwood charcoal that maintain the pure scent of natural charcoal.
PRODUCTION OF HARDWOOD CHARCOAL
Hardwood charcoal is the blackish residue in lump form consisting of carbon obtained by removing water and other volatile materials from hardwood in the absence of oxygen.This process is called charing.Charing is a process of incomplete combustion that often occurs when hardwood is subjected to heat. The product is called hardwood charcoal. .
Our workers go to the forest with our cutting instrument to cut down pure untreated hardwood and the hardwood are cut into smaller sizes. After that, billets of hardwoods are pilled in our kiln and an opening being left at the botom of the kiln to admit air with a central shaft to serve as flue.The whole pile is covered with moistened clay. Ignition is at the bottom of the flue and gradually spread outward and upward and allowed to burn for between 16-24hours during which all the hardwood must have been burnt to charcoal.Charcoal made in this process maintains the pure scent of natural hardwood charcoal.
It is important to note that we do not use chunk hardwoods in making our charcoal.
Charcoal export started in Nigeria in 1904.
We are presently discursing with a company that intends to sale a charcoal briquette equipment to us and when that happens we will start producing charcoal briquettes which will be first of its kind in Nigeria and the Briquettes are formed by a misture of charcoal dust(charcoal lump grinded into dust) with starch and other organic binders.
