June 14, 2005hands across the waterThis one came from Henry Blowfly, who lives in the Land Down Under and comments frequently on my blog: Great blog, one of my regular reads, and the beach at Scarborough, Western Australia now has a regular "Georgia Half Rubber" game during the summer months, it started with me and a few few ol' fart mates, then a couple of younguns joined in, then a couple of the young "dolly birds" had a go, (which adds a whole new dimension to the game), and the ol' farts now sit back and mind the beer, and enjoy the view:-) Tell me that a blog can't be a influence on other people. I am humbled by the fact that I may have played a small role in exporting a beach game invented on Tybee Island, Georgia, halfway around the world to Australia. THAT is true cultural exchange, because very few people in the USA ever heard of half-rubber. And Henry says he's going to send me some Vegemite as a gesture of gratitude. That kind of thing makes this Cracker boy proud. Comments
What's a "Georgia Half-Rubber?" Posted by: Ed on June 14, 2005 01:17 PMyeah what's half rubber? Posted by: livey on June 14, 2005 01:28 PMAre you sure Vegemite wouldn't qualify as revenge? Posted by: Sigivald on June 14, 2005 01:38 PMHmmmmm Half Rubber for Vegemite? Henry got the much better end of that swap! Put it out for the cats when you get it. Much more effective than a pellet gun......... Posted by: dbltap on June 14, 2005 01:39 PMExporting Vegemite might be considered an act of terrorism. Posted by: Robert on June 14, 2005 01:56 PMI think I'd be pretty pissed off if I was all ready to play and found I only had a half of a rubber. Posted by: assrot on June 14, 2005 02:03 PMAs for Vegemite, it is NOT the same as licking a hot asphalt road in the deep South at high noon in August ... the road is much smoother and tastier! Posted by: maggot on June 14, 2005 02:12 PMVegemite yes, but I haven't met Acidman so I can't compare yet ;) Posted by: Misty on June 14, 2005 03:10 PMShe's a keeper, Rob, so don't go pissing her off! Posted by: Ed on June 14, 2005 03:12 PMWARNING.......Vegimite is damned dangerous.........beware Posted by: arathorn on June 14, 2005 03:23 PMGo Misty! Posted by: Juliette on June 14, 2005 06:29 PMVegemite makes excellent fertilizer. Come to think of it, it tastes like fertilizer. Vegemite is food of the gods I tell you. You American philistines have no taste. Posted by: Tex on June 17, 2005 01:01 AMIf the Vegemite doesn't get confiscated by US Customs as a "suspected biological agent" it's on its way to the crackerbox as we speak. Post a comment
