Anyway, like I was sayin', hay is the fruit of the earth. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey's uh, hay -kabobs, hay creole, hay gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple hay , lemon hay , coconut hay , pepper hay , hay soup, hay stew, hay salad, hay and potatoes, hay burger, hay sandwich. That- that's about it.

kangaroos!!!!

Here are some more pictures from the zoo - specifically the kangaroos. they were my favorite next to the koalas. You can walk around in a fenced in area and walk right up to the roos to pet them, feed them, and talk to them in goofy voices (which you know I did!). Of course, we had to be exposed to a proper macropod education first:



I think this kangaroo died from the poo fumes:



This is me talking to kangaroo. It listened.


And Grandpa Roo:

Australia funfacts

1. the "pound key" on a phone is called the "hash key".
2. it is very normal for people to drink mixed drinks that come right out of a can (rum and coke , gin and tonic, etc...). And people actually drink Smirnoff ice!
3. you can get rum and coke on draft!!! that's right - like a beer. I have yet to try it for obvious reasons. But I will!
4. it is possible to get a $4,000 internet bill.
5. puma (pronounced "poo ma" in the states) is pronounced "Pewww ma". like pubic. ewww. And they think it's funny that we pronounce duty like "doodie".


hahhaa, doodie.
6. The don't have a once cent piece like in the US. The smallest coin they have is 5cents. So the total bill is rounded. coins are 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2. The $2 coin is the smaller than the 50c piece, which is the largest.

In the name of the father, son, and holy steve irwin.

I took a trip to the famous Australia zoo over the holiday. Sure, all of the animals were very interesting, but I was more impressed with the INSANE amount of Steve shrines. They should just go ahead have Steve replace the Queen on the dollar coin.

My favorite part of the shrine was a child's depiction of Steve's chest hair (crickey!):

And then of course there is gift shop just full of steves. coffee mugs, creepy talking dolls, and of course a $1000 Steve Irwin surf board. I mean, who wouldn't want to get on top of Steve Irwin and go for a ride??






But seriously, the zoo was great! And in case any of you are wondering, they did not sell any kangaroo scrotum or jerky products. Animal pictures coming soon.
