Uh. . . when did Australia become fictitious?!? I mean, I know they are upside down and everything but I didn't know they were fictitious.

seriously. how could anyone possibly think any place that implausible could be real ? (don't tell her about santa claus, you don't want to break too many myths at once...)

WHAT ABOUT SANTA CLAUS?!?! Does he LIVE in Australia and not the North Pole?

It's okay. You can tell me. I won't get upset. . .
Shannon, maybe you should hide the razorblades for awhile.

Australia IS fictitious. Now Marc and the gibbons make SO much more sense.

um... yes. yes, he lives in australia. that's it exactly. i hope that's not too much of a shock for you. he used to live at the north pole, but the cold got to be too much for his rheumatism. it's not easy being as old as he is, the least we can do is let him enjoy a warm climate.

... or maybe friction.

Years ago I saw a school photo of an Australian cousin seated at his desk; the desk had a globe on it; and the globe had the south pole at the top!!

Just go to the mystical fridge, open the door, and walk through, and you will find yourself in the wonderful nation of Straya Of The Downunderverse. It's like Narnia, but you're meant to grab a six-pack of beer on the way through.

Oh...well, that's good. Because Santa Claus certainly is in Australia, though he doesn't actually live here. All the chimneys here are blocked up at the fireplace end which kind of lead to a significant and claustrophobic problem for him and an odd smell from behind the redundant mantelpiece for me. Anyway so that he didn't go to waste I've made a few salad servers out of his ribs and use his spine as a back-scratcher. The rest...well, let's just say that the traditional Aussie Christmas dish of "braised wombat" was slow-cooked in a very "festive" stock that year.

What's that? The "Easter Bunny"? Not sure, but, totally unrelated, do you know how to spell "calicivirus" and "myxamatosis"...?

Aww look at the bilby (<---linky). Aren't dey teh wikkid kewt, yeah?!

Grab 'a' sixpack of beer??? Are you sure you are in Australia? That won't last you any longer than through the fridge in this place.

But I'm glad you all confirmed I live in a country that doesn't exist. Maybe I can now wake up from these weird dreams full of surfing Santas, hopping thingies with shopping bags on tummy, snake,spides and other creepy crawlies that don't like me. Now it makes sense that I couldn't get my precious here: Sony couldn't deliver to a country that exists only in some warped universe.

They're visiting, so it's actually just a courtesy gift for us hosts. Besides, in this particular Downunderverse, I'll meet you at the door with a nice, tall Zany Carter Deluxe or two (or eleventy), and put the beer in my own fridge for breakfast.

It's not warped... I just dinged it up a little when taking it out for a spin for my drivers license test (cursed righthanded universe with its steering wheel on the wrong side...).
