Nothing like eating a meal under the threat of death. Well if it was going to be my last meal, at least it was a good one.

A few weeks ago I was on my way to a meeting in Subiaco and dropped into Mad Mex for a quick taco. I hadn’t been there before, so was fascinated by the wrestling paraphernalia and imagery dotted around the room.

When I arrived it was quite busy and the only seat left was at the table with one of the most interesting chandeliers I’ve seen in a while.

In my youth I once lived in a house that had paint tins lights. We’d emptied the paint tins, stabbed them a few times with a screwdriver (as you do) then painted them a dark colour on the outside. The lighting effect was interesting to say the least, but that was nothing compared to the Corona inspired light of death hanging above me.

As I finished my quick lunch I pondered …
-
How long will it be before a light like this appears on the Block?
-
Or in a Claremont designer shop?
-
Or more importantly on Big Brother? I could see it becoming incredibly useful as fellow inmates begin to give you the irrits.
-
I wonder how the masked wrestlers managed to eat their Burritos? Perhaps it was part of their weight loss strategy?
-
Either way the taco was great, just the right size for a quick lunch.
