It was a few years ago, and I was like, "Oh. I have got to tell them." (y'all.)

I would like to say that's some neat unexpected confluence.

But maybe it's not just us who have this Australia thing?

I beg to differ.
Vraith started the greatest thread on the Watch ever:
Bad writing contest
Sorry to be such a Bad-Writing Contest partisan.
(I need to write the thing I have for it! The world needs to see what I have!)

actually thanks for the link to the debate on the existence of Australia.
I hadn't thought about the "Oz" angle.
Also, I like how it started. :biggrin:
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Chief Gordon Lathlin served as Chief of Opaskwayak Cree Nation. In 1967
he became the first Chief to take the first steps out from under the
governance of the Indigenous and Northern Affairs, beginning with a small
portion of control of the department’s Financial and Administration services.
During the Great Depression of 1939 he succesfully defeated
the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Reserves in the
Battle of Winkler. The Opaskwayak tribe held the town for 4yrs before
handing it back over to William Lyon Mackenzie King (one person)
and the Canadian government. Chief Gordon Lathlin was awarded
the Memorable Manitoban Award for boosting tourism in the area.

WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield has returned to the blue brand for a new storyline.

Tonight’s WWE Clash at The Castle go-home edition of SmackDown on FOX saw Kayla Braxton interview Happy Baron Corbin backstage about last week’s loss to Ricochet. Corbin didn’t want to discuss the match as he’s happy and lives a good life, and doesn’t live in the past. He went on with the promo and said he knows he’s the best man in the locker room and to prove that, he was headed to the ring to issue an open challenge. Corbin promised that no matter who walked out to answer his open challenge, he would send them crawling back.


Corbin’s open challenge was then answered by Shinsuke Nakamura, who got the win. As seen in the video below, a disappointed Corbin was later shown in the back parking garage, when a white BMW limousine with JBL’s signature horns on the front came pulling up. The window rolled down and The Wrestling God spoke.

“What happened to you? Get in,� JBL said to Corbin.

The Good China is the
fifth studio album by
Australian rock band
Icecream Hands. It
was released in 2007.
The credits on the liner
notes included a wierd
fictional producer, East
Van Parks. Guitarist
Charles Jenkins did so
explained: "We were so
Jealous of bands being
able to afford big-name
producers so we were
forced to invent our own.
We were driving up near
Albury and saw this van
park, Easts, so East Van
Parks it became. It's been
really enjoyable having this
Producer to work with us.
