  • Events Planned to be attended = .5
  • Tinnies = Cans of Beer.
  • Branchy thing on the Google Logo = Golden Wattle, Australia's floral emblem
  • Branchy thing on Australia Day Site = Grevillea Birdie Eaty etc.
  • Arrangement of stars on flag = The Southern Cross Come downunder and see it, sometime.
  • Florence Foster Jenkins = Eardrum killer, as seen in this youtube clip.

Golden Wattle? Okay, now you're just making up fake ridiculous Australian sounding words to see if we're paying attention.

Dear GD

The golden flowers (in the Google Logo) that Bear told you about are even featured in a song:

"Wattle I do
when you
are are far
away
and I
am blue
wattle I do".

Sheesh. I think I'm going to have to employ an Ashtrayan to Merkin translator.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

From ash tray to pubic wig? That's a leap - or maybe more of a wattle.

I'm sorry, Ashtrayan to what? (nsfw)

Where I grew up, there was a Southern Cross on every corner. Why would I want to travel all the way downunder just to see one?

I mean, granted, yours is probably the biggest, but ours comes in just about every neon color of the rainbow....and I'll bet yours doesn't say "JESUS SAVES" underneath either.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I know about the wattle from Monty Python:

"This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand. Amen!"

Happy Australia Day!
