Crikey! Bring on the Aussie egos!
Yep, every day of our sun-drenched antipodean lives we are potentially lethally assailed by any number of God's nastiest experts in self-preservation, which cearly makes us the toughest, ballsiest, most devil-may-care-because-death-has ceased-to-frighten-me since (insert early childhood near-death due to wildlife anecdote here) people on the planet. Especially if the Aussie b3tards are to be believed.

It is true, however, that I have been bitten by a redback spider, via the dunny (toilet) seat, on the penis, and am still alive. Oh my raving lordylocks did that hurt, though. The doctor pointed out helpfully that luckily for I a non-tumescent member is a "relatively low blood-flow area", which quite possibly contributed to my ongoingness thereafter.

*ASIDE* occurring as this did in a large mining town that to this day is the only place in Australia with a decriminalised locality of prostitution, I forgave this medico for initially suggesting that the large, throbbing, nigh-on freshly suppurating sore halfway down my quivering shaft "looks like a syphilis chancre to me, son..."

I have more, we all do. Takers?

not Coober Pedy - Kalgoorlie
Coober Pedy's where half the population live underground. In Kalgoorlie, half the population only work underground. And should really check beneath then toilet seat, as I learned to do.

Hardly sun drenched
when over the last couple of days it's been as miserable as sin (well, I suppose that depends on which sin you're currently partaking in) and raining like a bastard on and off.

THAT'S why i want to go to coober pedy!
i want to visit and call them all hobbits!
not really, i just want to see underground homes and tell then that, despite the fact that opal is my birthstone, i find them quite ugly.

i live in sydney
and after reading this QOTW i feel positively un-australian for not wrestling crocodiles, snakes, spiders, sharks, kangaroos and drop bears every day.
although i did see a cockroach the other day.
