Um, Pep....that would be "wrasslin", not wrestling.

Aussie2 and Kiwi

I spent a week in Darwin in the 70s .... OMG <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I was never in such a place before or since! It was as if 'the wild wild west' had been reborn.

More breweries than any other type of business. I mean ... beer practically flows from the faucet!

The males were drunk and crude and very VERY good looking! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Now a very much matured Sheila (Pep)

See they even wrote me a song just for me own.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

'Tis of a wild Colonial Boy, Jack Doolan was his name,
Of poor but honest parents he was born in Castlemaine. ( Well Mt LAwley but it doesnt ryme well with name)
He was his father's only hope, his mother's pride and joy,
And dearly did his parents love the wild Colonial Boy.

Chorus
Come, all my hearties, we'll roam the mountains high,
Together we will plunder, together we will die.
We'll wander over valleys, and we’ll fly over plains,
And we'll scorn to live in slavery, bound down with Al Qaida chains.

He was scarcely twenty years of age when he left his father's home, (17 but doesnt ryme again)
And through Asia's sunny clime like a bushranger did he roam.
He robbed those wealthy terrorists, their stock he did destroy,
And a terror to the Taliban was the wild Colonial Boy.

Chorus
Come, all my hearties, we'll roam the mountains high,
Together we will plunder, together we will die.
We'll wander over valleys, and we’ll fly over plains,
And we'll scorn to live in slavery, bound down with Al Qaida chains.

LMAO Cool or what?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
Where my whiskey gone?? Hey AW give that back!!!
No I haven't had enough ... darn proper woman <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hey Pep bet you were a well behaved sheila too !!

Remember when I told the joke about the Texas rancher visiting a cattle ranch in Australia? Musta been a few years ago (I've been here a LONG TIME), so I'll try 2 reconstruct:

Texas rancher being shown around an Australian cattle ranch.

Aussie and Texas rancher in Aussie's truck, driving along the fenceline, as the Aussie shows off his spread.

AR: "So, whadaya think?"

TR: "This is pretty big, but most our ranches in Texas are a lot bigger than this."

They drive on2 the ranch, and the Aussie shows him his herd. "Whadaya think of my cattle?"

TR: "Kinda srawny, ac2ally. You should see my longhorns! Boy, lots of meat on them longhorns!"

The Aussie is getting a little miffed at his guest, but they drive on.

At one point, a herd of kangaroos run across the road in front of them, almost causing an accident.

TR: "What the hell are THOSE?"

AR: "What? You don't have any grasshoppers in Texas?"

Also, Pep, they only use "spitoons" in cowboy movies, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> we use coffee cans and paper cups in real life. Ya silly yankee! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

kandi, some of those cockroaches are big enough to saddle! I didn't mention them because I know lots of yankees are kinda sensitive when it comes to vermin.

Mel, the really skilled cowboy can even spit in a 12 oz Coke bottle, ya know.

Spittoons are for sissies! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Mel, you and PM have been going on and on about the great state of Texas for two days now. Have you about run out of things to say about it yet?????? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Well I'ld love to stay here and be amused all day by the two of you (and you are amusing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ) but alas I have my little girl back with me and we are going to have a girls day of it.

Shopping, eating out, going to show, stopping some where for a smoothie, pickup some movies and come home and watch movies again. Might even make some snickerdoodles this am before we go. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Oh the life of Reiley!

With this latest title change, would you be suggestin' that we celebrate the great southern state of Virginia?

I am surprised a left coaster even knows that word! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Have a great girls day!

LOL, ML...I remember visiting WH parents up north and they asked what I wanted to drink and I answered "coke" is fine! They brought me a coke! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I was expecting them to say "ok, we have diet coke, pepsi, sprite, etc" but they actually brought me a coke!

When we have guests, you ask them what they want to drink and you say we have Coke, tea, coffee, water...then you wait for the guest to say "what kind of coke do you have"

My WH still doesn't get that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
