Introducing A Bit Of Culture


Here is my MS Word picture of the Korean family name "Ham" in Chinese characters. I kinda like it. Took a little while to draw too. Not that the English Ham and the Korean Ham are descended from the same person, but, what the hell.
Does Angus Young Have Dandruff?

This morning on Triple J, Jay and the Doctor wished Angus Young, of AC/DC fame, a happy 50th birthday. Angus was perhaps best known for his head-banging actions whilst strumming his guitar.

I wondered, as I often do when my mind starts to wander, does Angus Young have dandruff? Shaking his head so often must make it very difficult for the dandruff to keep a grip on his scalp. I know when I shake my frizz it is like a snow storm. Does head-banging stop the occurence of dandruff?

On the other hand, is the brain damage suffered as a result of over-zealous head-banging, worth the effort? Brain damage comes a distant second in which condition I would rather suffer from.

If you have severe enough brain damage perhaps you don't suffer at all. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.

Cop Out

So Mr Nicholas Souter has decided to stop blogging again. I know that his head will explode due to the build up of crap and lack of an outlet. If he was to use his blog to demonstrate his creative juices more often, i.e. show us his cartoons, then I wouldn't be so heartbroken. Sob, sob.

Don't do it Nick. You'll suffer some sort of aneurysm and end up like Terri Schiavo. Oh, the humanity.

Caversham Wildlife Park

Situated near Whiteman Park, Caversham Wildlife Park is brilliant. A must see for Perth, even though it is 20 kms out of the city. There are so many animals to see, feed and pat that you could spend the whole day there.

Fourteen dollars seems a bit steep for an entry fee but it was well worth it. Excellent place to take kids and I can't say enough good things about the place. There are many more pics I could have included but I've narrowed it down to just a few.

Cute fella. This echidna was pacing his cage up and down. Took quite a few shots before I got a decent photo of him. Yu-Jin and Miky were amazed at the site of this creature.

Beautiful dingo. Miky was shocked as it is the spitting image of Jin do gae - Jin Island dog. She had one as a pet and couldn't get over the resemblance.

Who is the sleepiest one in the picture? The koalas sleep for up to 20 hours per day. You should see the claws on these critters. Unfortunately you can't hold them for a photo but we still got close enough.

Another funny kid at the park.

Say "Aaah!"
