add 2 meters of water and 2 dozen crocs, then set up some bleachers, and make a literal killing with the bloody tourists ...

Huh.. should start with your mob of NFL teams that are running around in Melbourne at the moment..no idea why, sure is a weird game..

Geez they have so much padding,  helmets and crap surprised they can run at all...

Where is the rest of your ground? Is this it, that tiny rectangle? Tad embarrassing..

256

That's not a footy ground...this is a footy ground, we use the whole thing...not a tiny strip in the middle..

I laughed when one guy said where is the rest of it, is this it??

AFL at the G...no rectangles here..

instead of being evening gowns, their uniforms should look closer to oz surfer girls, prior to them being eaten by sharks of course. not much fabric left for mr sharko to properly floss I'm afraid. not sure where the video is from, because I didn't want to chance catching you in oz on a wave without your permission ...

Arvo prey tell..your NFL players were some what phased when a reporter said..you played a cracker of a game..

Apparently there was stunned silence by your mob...

Seems that cracker is a racist term over there?

Here is means great or really good..

Ahh no wonder you mob can't understand our lingo..😁 it's a bit like you root for your team, here that's have sex..ahh I can see the brawls in the pubs now..

Barrack is the word here to support your team..to avoid any misunderstandings..🐨

another survey of the local fauna would help you better determine why your mob is also off by itself on that sandbar.

"Girls"?  Wouldn't "Women" be better?  THIS is "Girls".

But then, maybe at our age, the ones you posted ARE just Girls.

Lately, for me. anyone 40 or under is a "kid".  So, "girls"?  Yeah.  My wife's niece, who I've known since she was a teenager, just turned 50.  As far as I'm concerned, she is still a kid.

Well, I guess that compared to me, damn near everyone else is a "kid", so I'm pretty right to be able to say to them "Here's looking at you, kid."

The 10g shallow aquarium is right behind my recliner in the living room and inline with our front door. That door has a tiny window in it and at the right time of morning the sun comes in and hits the aquarium just right.

They are Endler's livebearer ( Poecilia wingei ) a type of guppy and they are so easy to bread I already have babies in here. There are also cherry shrimp ( Neocaridina davidi   ) in there.

I thought of you weeks ago when I saw a meme of a flatbed truck unloading a giant plecostomus into the DC reflection pool ...

Ever seen a stick insect?  Found this guy on my deck today.  They really are indistinguishable from a stick.

Hi Shona.  I’ve only seen one a few times and they’ve all been about six inches long or so.  I read that they can be up to 24 inches long though.  That’s probably the Australian version.

Evening..errr umm well a new species of stick insect was discovered in Queensland just last year...

He is somewhat large..what more can I say..

I love stick insects but he is getting a bit...big...and weighs over 40 grams..

Glad he lives up North with all the other...things..😁
