Last year I sent the Outback Restuarant an email drawing their attention to the certain liberties taken regarding the meals and the lingo.

I even offered to be their consultant for a price.

Haven't heard back from them though.

To whit:

MY BOOMERANG WON'T COME BACK

Charlie Drake - 1961

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

In the bad backlands of Australia

Many years ago,

The aborigine tribes were meeting,

Having a big pow-wow.

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

"We got a lot of trouble, Chief,

On account of your son Mack."

"My boy Mack? Why, what's wrong with him?"

DRAKE: My boomerang won't come back.

"Your boomerang won't come back?"

DRAKE: My boomerang won't come back,

My boomerang won't come back,

I've waved the thing all over the place,

Practised till I was black in the face,

I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,

My boomerang won't come back.

DRAKE: I can ride a kangaroo (yeah yeah)

Make kinkajou stew (yeah yeah)

But I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,

My boomerang won't come back.

They banished him from the tribe then

And sent him on his way,

He had a backless boomerang

So here he could not stay.

(Animal noises)

DRAKE: [spoken] This is nice, innit? Getting banished at my time of

life. What a way to spend an evening: sitting on a rock in the middle

of the desert with me boomerang in me hand. I shall very likely get

bushwhacked.

(An animal roars; Drake shrieks back.)

DRAKE: Get out of it! You nasty bushwhacking animal. Think I'll make

a nice cup of tea. (Doing, doing, doing...) Good gracious! There goes

a kangaroo. I must have a practice with me boomerang: hit him right

behind the left earhole. Now then, slowly back.

Gruff voice: If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your

head. (It chuckles and bounces away.)

DRAKE: Innit marvellous? Got a land full of kangaroos and I had to

pick that one.

For three long months he sat there

Or maybe it was four,

Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin

Came a-knocking at his door.

"Well, I'm the local witch doctor, son,

They call me George Alfred Black.

Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy?"

DRAKE: My boomerang won't come back.

"Your boomerang won't come back?"

DRAKE: My boomerang won't come back,

My boomerang won't come back,

I've waved the thing all over the place,

Practised till I was black in the face,

I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,

My boomerang won't come back.

"Don't worry, boy, I know the trick,

And to you I'm gonna show it.

If you want your boomerang to come back,

Well first you've got to... throw it."

DRAKE: Ooh, yes! Never thought of that. Daddy will be pleased. Must

have a go, nyuh-huh! Excuse me. Now then, slowly back... and throw.

(Boomerang whizzes away; Sounds of a plane approaching and then

falling from the sky.)

DRAKE: Ooh my God! I've hit the flying doctor. Eee-hee-hee! Can you

do first aid?

Witch Doctor: Don't talk to me about first aid, boy, you owe me

fourteen chickens, you know, when I learned you to throw the

boomerang, you know, first things first.

DRAKE: Yes, I know that, but I mean, I think on this occasion, you

know, you could be a bit more perspective...........

Now, tell me Gay Bored Flocker. Did yours come back?

No? Re-read the instructions above from a different perspective, then.

Tosser.

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!

His name is my name tooooooooooooo!

Report on recent Minneapolis area get together:

Item the First) Lars apparently has mighty powers that let him manipulate the weather. A day that started out crappy became beautiful for boating.

Item the Second) dalem the non-Minnesotan figured out that lake + September = cold at night. Seanachai the uberdubergnome and Papa Khann, both Minnesota natives, each figured a simple posing strap and a winning smile would be enough to guard against the chill Autumn shoulder of Mother Nature.

Item the Third) The older blonde in the long coat was better scenery than the wriggly little one with the low pants.

Apparently all too true.

Hint: Stay upwind of Lard at all times.

Glad you like my smile.

I would also like to emphatically state that at no time during the evening did I smile at dalem.

Item the Third) The older blonde in the long coat was better scenery than the wriggly little one with the low pants.

Agreed. That is, as long as we're talking about those delightful female creatures on the dance floor.

I thought for a moment there I caught you eyeing over Lard and SomeNachos (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Ahh. A post with SPIT...SPITE even. This place has gone to the namby-pamby dogs lately. No name calling worth mentioning. People like MrSqueeker(Question: Can a lawyer be classed as people ??) and his dribbling sig lines, about as good has his sniveling posts. ( I wouldn't expect any turns from him though. He's too busy billing people)

Elvis and his "NICE" post.. Newbies who post, and run away giggling like pre-pubescent schoolgirls saying "I posted in the Peng Thread, look at me !"

The mad OGGSF-f-f (Check your F-Troop reference), posting, supporting Australians !

Hiram , saying..."how can you tease me so ?" like some badly bullied first year tike.

Well, I HAVN'T GOT THE GAME YET AND I AM OFF TO THE PREMIER WINE PRODUCING REGION OF OUR GREAT NATION NEXT WEEK AND NO DOUBT THE GAME WILL BE IN MY LETTERBOX ON MONDAY AND MY DAUGHTER WILL LAUGH AND PHONE ME TO LET ME KNOW ITS THERE, WHILST I'M HERE WHEELING THE WIFE AROUND THE WINERIES WHILST I COULD BE BACK IN PERTH PLAYING......

a little bit upset; i am.

Sigh.

To top it all off, Noba, it is Australian wine. Or should that be - 'what Australians make the English believe wine is'?

I feel for you - well, I would, if you weren't Australian. So I actually just laugh at you while I cherish my copy of CMBB... With no manual at all.

Actually, you don't strike me as the sophisticated type Android. More the pig-swilling type. I doubt you would know which end of a wine bottle has the cork in it! Otherwise you would appreciate that FINE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WINES are regarded extremely highly by sophisticated societies all over the planet. Don't worry if you can't spell sophisticated either. It wouldn't mean anything to you anyway.

Oh and before you forget, I hope you don't contract that Eevil CD virus. You know - the one that eats the reflective layer of NEW CD's from the inside out, thus rendering the NEW CD DEAD!!

But then again, you aren't playing with it are you? Just "cherishing" it. Whatever turns you on..

Charlie Drake - 1961

Verses deleted for the sake of humanity

"My Boomerang Won't Come Back" was the first 45rpm single I ever bought, at age 5. By age 5.5 I knew the words by heart, and by age 6 I thought it was irretrievably retro.

It is eerily fitting that kindergarten-boy AJ still knows the words, but I blame him for the fact that some high-pitched little Aussie wanker shrieking "Oh my gawd, I've hit the flying doctor" will haunt my dreams once more.

Except the missing fact that Charlie drake was/is a POM.

Pillock.

All two of them? Maybe, but then again I am not surprised that Ozzies think their wine is the best. I am even less surprised that the English believe them.

Let's see - amount of Oz wine in Sainbury's? Tons. Amount of Oz wine in French hypermarché? None.

I rest my case.

You can always compete for the 'I wouldn't bring this wine to a party of people I hated most.' award with the Californians though.

Rejoicing May Now COMMENCE!

I am back ... yes indeed, I have braved the drive from Durango to Grand Junction (and heartily recommend it ... though for YOU lot I would recommend you try it in December during a howling snowstorm with slick tires) and thence to Glenwood Springs Colorado, TWO hops in a turboprop and three training sessions with glowing reviews from all participants and I return ... to THIS?

Still the rules are adequate for all that Leeo wrote them (doubtless he had some homeless wino help him with the big words ... like manual) but we take what we can get I suppose.

Hiram Sedai is back but then he was never really gone ... drat the luck.

I can't understand how Lars, dalem, Seanachai and Papa Khann (the perpetual Squire) could have a Lake Minetonkatoy (whatever) get together without ME ... it must have been terrible for them ... {sigh} "So ... wonder what Joe is doing now eh?"

I'm going to make a valiant attempt to get my email house in order ... not sure why though ... I'll just get more emails from YOU clowns and who wants that?

Joe

p.s. Where's my copy of CMBB? It's September 21st and since I pre-ordered I EXPECTED to have it on my doorstep by now. Besides ... it isn't right that the Germans get if first because ... we'll they're German aren't they!

My Gawd, reading your posts is about as enjoyable as watching Paverotti doing squat thrusts in a Speedo, or watching David Crosby eat a McRib sandwich. How is it that you haven't been "whacked" yet?

Ethan, I heard you enjoyed your time in Zetten? Very good.

Now Seanachai, I have finally given in to your pathetic post-card bullying, not because I hate you, no, because you got on my nerves, with your shrieking, wailing, girly 'send me a card' crap. So I did. Rest assured that it coming from me it will be the heights of tastefulness, and your postman will admire you for your selection of friends until the end of his career in your delivery district.

To all Australians who still believe their country produces wine. No, it is not. It is Ribena with medicinal alcohol (that's the high-quality stuff) or Emu-piss added. Now sodd off.

Andre's *ss, being a pillock of the lowest order, this may have escaped your dwarfish intellect, but it just so happens that nice ain't in our vocabulary. Now run along back to your hole and design up some more Eastern front scenarios for us to play. There's a good lad.

I'm sorry, but who or better even, what are you. And do I want to know?

Now troll off, and talk to some of the other sodding newbies festering in this thread, or annoy Joe, he is always up for a bit of brainless blather from the likes of you.

You disturb my circles...
