Are you watching the Aussie Open too? I saw that buffett they laid out... I'll have water thank you.

Happy Aussie Day to you all!

I wonder if they drink too much at family picnics, have parades, and shoot off fireworks.

Happy Australia Day!

Well I'll be fucked, who knew Austalia has a national day the same as us, where the hell is that place anyway.
Traditionaly people do all the usual stuff bbq, drink too much, get sunburnt that sort of shit. Sit at home and watch the cricket drink too much, that sort of shit.

Btw shrimp is bait, it's prawns, umm the last time I had kangaroo tail soup was...never. Although I am partial to a nice roo steak.

My day diverged somewhat from the traditional, it's been a 100+ day weather wise.
I headed off this morning to my sister's place to help them load some cattle that are staying here for awhile, I think I got about two kms from home befor e the wifes car shit itself, fuel pump maybe, so I had a nice little walk back home, picked up the truck and started again.
Cows here, all that went ok, just spent the rest of the day getting pumps working unblocking hoses bucketing water in the pleasant sunshine.
At some point tonight we will try and retrieve the car then go to bed in time for a 2.am rise.
Yeah happy Australia Day.
Hey Mr Wag don't let anyone tell you that sports wont teach you something.
Thanks for the well wishes anyway.

Prompted in part by this thread and in part by utter boredom, I turned on the TV last night and found the tennis match in question. I watch very little tennis but I'm curious about one thing: is it now de rigeur for women to ejaculate a pre-orgasmic grunt with every stroke?

yes. otherwise we wouldn't watch the women's matches unless & until they started making sharapova play in the nude.

Is that a humid heat or dry heat?

Sorry to hear 'bout the car problems.

btw, how is Dawn's crack?

Heatwise, both, yesterday was dry with a hot northerly wind , today was humid with thunderstorms, at least the rain has helped the firefighters.

Still waiting to find out the results of the car's dilemma, one thing is certain, it's gonna hurt cash wise.

Re: crack o' Dawn, warm and inviting

EJ, you never explained why, and I'm not letting you off the hook.

it was largely a bullshit comment to provoke thought in the reader. but if i HAD to put an explanation on it, it would be that hyphenated last names strike me as indecisive. i can understand taking your husband's last name or keeping your maiden name. can't really think of a good reason for keeping both unless you want to sound more important than you really are.

this, like all things, is a very individualistic thing and a synopsis of a generalization shouldn't be interpreted to mean it applies to all involved. [/disclaimer to keep nice women to whom this applies off my back]

I'm not a nice woman, so fuck off.

My ex and I were married between our junior and senior years of college, and when I was inducted into an English honorary a few months later, a hyphenated last name was printed on my membership card. The advisor said, "Since when do you hyphenate your last name?" Since, um, never.

I was perfectly happy to be rid of my last name.

The kid will probably end up flunking a lot of tests because he'll be out of time when he finally finishes writing his name.

i remember a comic with the first name "billiam" who quipped that he didn't even get the 200 free points on the SAT for spelling his name right.

i also remember an old joke from when robin givens first divorced mike tyson... she was announced as the wealthiest woman in america under the name "robin givens-tyson-jackson-griffin-trump"

I once had a student who misspelled her name on a regular basis. She also had four grandmothers die during a 10-week quarter. Talk about bad luck. And they were always dying when a big paper was due.

I can't imagine how she could get all her papers finished with all that tragedy.

Yeah, well if I can go back to work five days after giving birth. . .
