Well, what else is there to do in the off-season? 

Especially in Oz-land.  The tabloids get old, and after a certain point in your life spending days at the beach just isn't as much fun as it used to be.  In years to come, however, you'll have to spend your spare time googling the backgrounds of the young dystopians who start buzzing around your daughters.  You won't have to wake up early to listen to the Johnnie games, you'll still be up, sitting in your chair with your scatter gun in your lap.

Paul Harvey strange fact of the day - the director of the Mad Max trilogy also directed Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet.  Hmmm.  Is there a dark side to those that I missed?

How is the ice fishing? 

Have not been out since Thanksgiving.  I have no desire this year.  Bring on the open water...

Thanks a lot tmerton. I KNOW I'll call someone at the bar this afternoon a dystopian, and they won't know what it means either, and probably kick my ass.

It SUCKS! Or I should say it has sucked, as nobody in their right mind would go out there in this weather. All of the early snow has led to a significant decrease in oxygen levels in the lake, which leads to lethargic fish. But the Hamm's has been just as good as ever!

Duff, bring your boat. I saw some open water today just below the dam.

She's locked up tight till late March at the earliest, or I would consider it.  Actually, sitting in a boat in below freezing temps is flat-out miserable.  Only a few months to go...

Plan A is to put the girls in a convent at 13, and at 21 they free to choose their own lives.

Plan B, well plan B has Fifth Amendment protections involved so I choose not to divulge other than these lurking dystopians have no idea what distopia is really like...

Hey Oz, if I'm successful with my application for The Best Job In The World, Plan C, you can just swing out and hang with me and have a few bevvies.

Nice... $150k for six months on Hamilton Island.  This is you from your interview trip?

Loyal, not nuts.  But if we'd gone to Northwestern we could change our names to Blagojevich.

(Okay, so it's not that Northwestern.  Close enough for government work.)

I know we're probably all getting tired of this "news of the weird" routine, but this one... wow.

"Great white circles learner surfers at Blueys Beach in New South Wales"



"I did not tell the students because they just would have worried," Mr Hughes, 50, said.

"It was just having a cruise, it wasn't showing attack behaviour."

Wow.  Enjoy your stay on Hamilton Island, fins...

No, but that's my blonde friend working the dorky cabana boy for a couple of free buckets of beer for us.

Which one of the posters here is the MNF producer for ESPN?  Is it Freebird?  He was mentioning that he may be making it down this way for the Oz Open tennis.  I'm wondering if'n I may be having a visitor.  I'll need to let ma know to get the vittles prepared.
