@daveyjonesisdead: Wrong post. You'll need to go back down the hall towards President Obama (you'll see him charming a fat turkey), and look for the first post on your left. Be careful - Martha Steward is helping Jack Torrance look for his son; it would be best to smile politely and scurry past.
@Bos'un's Mate: Sorry, I keep getting lost here. I went down the other way but then I saw some Sheila posts and was like, WTF? and realized I had stumbled into 2008.
Call him what you want but loyalty to his friends and team members is something that defines George W. Bush - for better or for worse. I'm no fan of the man but I admire the fact that he's not the type to conveniently throw someone under the bus when that person has outlived his usefulness.
Here, as a public service, is the original photo. Lucky for you kids it was on page one of the google image search. If I had to click to page two, it wasn't happening.
our best (i'm joking) prime minister is harold holt, who disappeared while swimming one day and was never found. the swimming pool i used to have swimming lessons in as a kid was named after him, as an official memorial. only in australia.
Ah, the Harold Holt swimming pool in High Street. Not far from the Avocado family home. Fond memories, and happy days. And concrete breeze blocks. Lots of them. I still guffaw to myself every time I drive past and see the name. What, in the name of all that is holy, would entice generations of kiddies to learn to swim at a swimming centre named after a Prime Minister who drowned in the surf at Portsea back-beach?
@DevilsAvocado: We must have lived quite near to each other! I remember the cool blue glass as you walked down the steps from the changing room to the pool. And how the outside pool was always freezing. And how I'd go swimming and then eat a million packets of chips from the vending machine after.
Bush should have invited the Chasers War on Everything crew and expose his whole presidency as an elaborate hidden camera prank by an Australian tv show.
Speaking of, who else is so excited that G4 is bring the Chasers War on Everything to the US at long last?!?!

Sadly, it seems that Fox "News" (and the Republicans in general) are the Jedi masters of self-fulfilling prophecy.

Though I must say I found the state dinner menu a lot like food porn, except with some spelling errors.

Only in Australia, indeed.
