Australian legends turned into blazing bongs for 420 Day
It is 420 day Down Under, in other words April 20, in other words international weed day. If you are in some states of the U.S. of A you are probably half stoned by now.
Such excesses are illegal in the sensible land of Australia. But there is one way to celebrate 420 and that is by getting yourself a ceramic bong in the shape of two national icons, cricketer Shane "Warnie" Warne and groovy musician Shannon "Nollsy" Noll.

According to The Creator Project, the Nollsy bong was created by Gatorbeug and released to coincide with 420 Day. With Nollsy being Australia's national hero of memes, it seems deadly appropriate.
Warnie's head bong comes with added bonus of "speed dealer" sunglasses. "It comes with mirror foil speed dealer shades and 24 carat gold nike earrings," Gatorbeug's website explained. "Can be used as a bong but would look great on a bookshelf." Bong-o.
The works of art are thanks to the genius designer Tom Mason, who is based in the chill capital of Byron Bay, Australia. He transformed the local icons into smoking paraphernalia out of cast earthenware just for laughs.
"Memes are fun, and people respond to them really positively," Mason told The Creators Project, predicting that next celebrity to turn into a bong could be "Dame Edna, Lleyton Hewitt, Nick Kyrgios."
Mason has also made bongs to honour Australia ex-prime minister Tony Abbott, Britney Spears, Otto from The Simpsons and Donald Trump. The original bong was a gold Gatorade bottle. Happy 420, friends.
