HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY !!

Google has a nice logo this year:


...I'm going back to bed, it's 6:20am. :eek:

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

So, Lash, how many of the over 5,000 events do you plan to attend??

LashStoat 01-25-2009 01:41 PM

Bear...Bear !!!

We get to slob around in our shorts, get wasted on beer, and hear some wanna-be mangle our national anthem. I hope Roseanne [Arnold] isn't in town...or that Maniah chick that warbles around every note like she's in church.

Or what if it's Florence Foster Jenkins? If it's her [Google that one, we have the album and will send you a sample if you ask], I'm going to get another slab* of beer...or maybe several, so I can jump off the stack before she tries to hit the high notes.

Yay !!! ;)

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

*Slab = A box of tinnies.

Happy Australia Day.

What's the significance of that branchy thing in the google logo?

Capt Jack 01-25-2009 02:16 PM

Happy Aussie Day

Hey GD,

This is what the branchy thing means:

Ghoulish Delight 01-25-2009 02:27 PM

That explains a LOT

LashStoat 01-25-2009 02:31 PM

Well actually it's a Grevillia, which is an Australian native plant...the type that our parrots and other birds love to feed off.

Ps/ Bitch. ;)

Morrigoon 01-25-2009 02:52 PM

Didn't recognize the planty thing, but the star placement looks like the ones on their flag (what's the significance of that arrangement, anyway?)

Wishing you 24 hours of felicitous Aussieness!

lashbear 01-25-2009 05:25 PM

  • 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.

Ghoulish Delight 01-25-2009 05:42 PM

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

LashStoat 01-25-2009 05:53 PM

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.

mousepod 01-25-2009 08:09 PM

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!

1. So size DOES matter.

2. Ours says " JESUS SAVES SINNERS AND REDEEMS THEM FOR VALUABLE PRIZES".

I will be getting down under my blankets.

Wait...

Ghoulish Delight 01-26-2009 11:43 AM

No poofters!

Alex 01-26-2009 11:48 AM

Wait, I'm confused.

Australia is a real place? I thought it was just silly nonsense like Talk Like a Pirate Day and writs of habeus corpus.

Not that I expect to see iSm drinking a Fosters anytime soon.

wendybeth 01-26-2009 02:30 PM

Good lord, KB- you're right. Now we'll have to call him Bruce.

lashbear 01-26-2009 05:18 PM

KB is also a brand of beer here.


Gemini Cricket 01-26-2009 07:46 PM

To celebrate Australia Day, let's watch that Kidman/Jackman movie of theirs... Okay, maybe not. Well, maybe just for one scene I keep hearing about.
;)
:D

lashbear 01-26-2009 08:49 PM

OOoooo, what scene?

...maybe I ought to go see it, after all !

JWBear 01-26-2009 09:50 PM

I haven't seen it. Does Hugh go "full Monty"? :D
