Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

Hey misshestermoffit!

Well, the majority Aussies do what most Westerners do for New Year. We get drunk, kiss each other and then at various stages through the early hours of the morning, either pass out, get into a fight or keep drinking til the sun comes up...:bigjoint:
The capital cities put on big parties and fireworks etc. Some of us will sit around the TV and watch the different 'ringing ins' of the New year in other countries. Others will do the church thing, or put on tinfoil hats...the usual deal.

HOWEVER, some of us will be doing similar things to korvette and Chinacat. WE won't have kids here tomorrow night either! ;-)
We might even sneak our new second hand 4WD out and go for a drive out to the caves...maybe...


Roosters are male yes...:lol: He was a LARGE Rooster so I never thought he would be taken by a hawk. I never saw that hawk but my neighbor told me after I disclosed my horrible loss. Ol' Noah (nice old guy) said it was the bifggest hawk he had seen in a long long time and the hawk hung out on the far fence line for three days he said......waiting for the right moment. BASTARD!!! It all became clear to us ... after. All these years later I still have people ask about him....... he left an impression. Of course how I got him and raised him.....well that's a story for another time :lol: ...... out. :blsmoke:
Our in-laws had a dog disappear about six months ago. This was down south where we were earlier this year. This particular dog had a habit of lying in the morning sun in the paddock to get warm. She'd just lay there looking dead...
...We have Wedge Tailed Eagles here. Big buggers. They can stand 3 feet tall (as tall as a roadside guide post) and have wing spans averaging 2 to 3 metres. It so happened that a pair had been hanging around the general area for about a week or so. We suspect that 'Pearl' may have become wedgie food. She was only a small terrier size.

....TANGENTAL BRAIN DRIFT....

I was thinking of wedgies, but then thought of Sunny and Wilma...and then the Monty Python Parrot sketch popped into my head...

Further trivia:

At Graham Chapman's memorial service, John Cleese began his eulogy by stating that Graham Chapman was no more, that he had ceased to be, that he had expired and gone on to meet his maker, and so on, finally calling him an ex-Chapman. Cleese went on to justify his eulogy by claiming that Chapman would never have forgiven him if he had not taken the opportunity to reference the sketch.

Sharon is still laying eggs? She is a slutty thing isn't she :wink:

Driving to caves, sounds cool. Do you go there a lot?

We have hawks around here, you mostly see them along the interstate sitting in the trees. They don't glide around above town, at least I've never seen them.

She hasn't laid any eggs since the last Shake Fest.....She will though, her and Ozzie have as much sex as 2 18year olds in love....They screw everywhere. They don't care who is watching.....:o Now I have another female here and Oz thinks he is the man.....not good. Want a bird? She is Sweeeet!

We've always wanted a bird, but the responsibility sounds like a lot. I already have dogs and cats and as much as we love them, we've already discussed as the number decreases we will not be replacing any of them.

Now that the kids are grown, we don't want to be so tied to home. I wish this bird offer had come up 15 years ago, you'd have a taker then.

There's nothing wrong with that once in a while. When we'd take our kids on mini weekend vacations, if they wanted cheeseburgers for breakfast, we'd let them have it.

We haven't been out there since we got back up here in July. It is far too long for us two bats. The whole Limestone ridge area has an ancient, mystical feel:

Hey Gryphonn LOVED the vid!
Thanx Sunny! I like a lot of Monty Python. The Parrot Sketch and the Idiot Song are two of my favourites. I was in a theatre company in my early teens. This song has special meaning to me and brings back some pretty good memories:

My kids always ate candy for breakfast on Christmas morning. The stuff would be in their stockings so we'd let them go for it.

Now that they're grownup they don't want sweet things for breakfast, they want real food.

That's not good parenting korvette. Kids need fibre. Give 'em a box of Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs for breakfast. The goodness of corn with the energy of toffee:
