Hi All... Blessings of the Season to you all, and happiness for the coming year. May you all get exactly what you want out of this mixed-up cwazy world. Here's a picture I drew the other night - considering my recent (crappy) mood, I've no idea where it came from. Peace Out, Noogies... Wayne@OZ

Well... technically it's Uluru. (Yes - it's Ayers' Rock. Surprising how I've managed to absorb (and frequently use) a whole lotta Koorie words (Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Gariwerd) that I never ever thought I would. I guess we've had longer to get used to them here in OZ.) PS Thanks to Scott (as always) for hosting the pic! Ain't he super

And love the Southern Cross, which we northerners never get to see!
Is it true that if you take a piece of Ayer's Rock, you're cursed?
Holy Cats of Egypt!

Is it true that if you take a piece of Ayer's Rock, you're cursed? I had a teacher in grade school, the first male teacher I'd had, who was from Oz. He used to claim that there was a curse if you took a piece of Uluru (which I haven't heard in years but remembered the name when Wayne mentioned it). I don't know how true it was but he swore by it.

Speaking of Festivus, has anyone tried the Festivus ice cream from Ben & Jerry? It's quite tasty!

If you even walk on Uluru, you're cursed. Enormous winged Dreamtime beasts will descend upon you from above, whirling bullroarers above their head, stabbing forth with spears and accompanied by the mournful wailing of digeridoos. Well, that's what the local natives say. Tourists (not as many these days) tend to tramp all over the monolith, their only cares being their pear-shaped bodies and the signs warning that those with heart conditions and unsteady feet may be in for a (terminal) surprise. My housemate Justy used to live on an Aboriginal Australian settlement on the NT/WA border called Docker River. She's managed to climb the Rock without succumbing to a curse, unless you count having to live with me for a few more weeks. (And I assume that if the 'curse' strikes those merely walking on Uluru, it'll hit those stealing from it in spades...) Thanks for everyone's kind words! Joyeux Noel...

PS Waht flavour is Festivus? Sounds like cross between Rocky Road & Tutti-Frutti.

Ben & Jerry describes it as "a sassy batch of brown sugar cinnamon ice cream loaded with gingerbread cookies and a ginger caramel swirl." Festivus press release. I thought it was quite tasty. Unfortunately, it was a limited-edition flavor two years ago, and they no longer produce it...
