Hey 2long. I've had three great trips to Oz myself and know you're in for a wonderful vacation. Just so you know, they do have computers there and you can log onto MB, just in case the kangaroos and Koalas don't do it for you! I fully expect you to pop in from time to time. Safe journey.TT
Well, I borrowed the "on my way 2 Australia" from the movie "Support Your Local Sheriff". I shamefully and sadly must admit that I'm not really booked for travel 2 Oz.
But I had hopes 20 years ago 2 do my PhD on Lake Eyre. Good Mars analog.

A little more "context" for my buddies that might be slower on the ol' uptake than even yours 2ly:
Excerpts from "Support your local sheriff" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
"[Jason is inquiring about the job of sheriff]
Jason McCullough: Well, gentlemen, I think it's only fair to tell you that I'd only be interested in this job on a temporary basis.
Henry Jackson: Oh?
Jason McCullough: Well, you see, actually I was on my way to Australia when I heard about your gold strike and I decided to, uh, travel through here and see if I couldn't pick myself up a little stake.
Thomas Devery: What do you want to go to Australia for?
Jason McCullough: Well, it's the last of the frontier country. Thought I might like to do a little pioneering.
Fred Johnson: I thought this was frontier country and we was pioneers.
Since I'm leisurely heading off 2 Australia, maybe I can spend a few in Montana on the way:
"I might be movin' 2 Montana soon Just 2 raise me up a crop of Dental Floss
Raisin' it up Waxen it down In a little white box That I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn't Have no boss, But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Well I just might grow me some bees But I'd leave the sweet stuff 2 somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would
Keep the wax N' melt it down Pluck some Floss N' swish it aroun'
I'd have me a crop An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' 2 Montana)
Movin' 2 Montana soon Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am) Movin' 2 Montana soon Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I'm pluckin' the ol' Dennil Floss That's growin' on the prairie Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all Afternoon . . .
I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss (His name is MIGHTY LITTLE) He's a good hoss Even though He's a bit dinky 2 strap a big saddle or Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky 2 strap a big saddle or Blanket on anyway Any way
I'm pluckin' the ol' Dennil Floss Even if you think it is a little silly, folks I don't care if you think it's silly, folks I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I'm gonna find me a horse Just about this big, An' ride him all along the border line
With a Pair of heavy-duty Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand Every other wrangler would say I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn't Have no boss, But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Well I might Ride along the border With my tweezers gleamin' In the moon-lighty night
And then I'd Get a cuppa cawfee N' give my foot a push . . . Just me 'n the pygmy pony Over the Dennil Floss Bush
N' then I might just Jump back on An' ride Like a cowboy In2 the dawn 2 Montana
I do remember one thing. It took hours and hours but.. By the time I was done with 2long
I was so involved I didn't know what to think. I carried 2long around with me for days and days.. Playing little games Like not looking at 2long for a whole day And then.. looking at 2long. To see if I still liked 2long. I did.
I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat.. The more I look at 2long
The more I like 2long. I do think 2long's good. The fact is.. No matter how closely I study 2long
No matter how I take 2long apart
No matter how I break 2long down
2long remains consistant. I wish 2long were here to see it.
Sometimes, perhaps, getting over one's addiction 2 posting on internet 4ums where flame wars tend 2 rage, can be as simple as flipping a switch?
Perhaps, I-

what was that!??<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
An intense fear gripping his very sole (both soles, ac2ally, including the balls of his feet, and all ten toes), 2long, reaching for the Easy Button on his desktop, stops in mid-reach, staring 2ward the sound.

2long, having a wireless keyboard, picks it up and carries it with him so that he can finish this post while he investigates...
...unfor2nately, it's blue2th, and before he gets far from his computer, it loses connection and ol' 2long is una-

Did any of you ever see that UTube video of "angry conputer kid"? I think that was what is was called. The kid was angry at his computer because it kept failing him during a game he was addicted to. OMG, I'm sorry, but it was the funniest thing I ever saw. It was disturbingly funny.
