Blog Guy, I hear your readership is getting huge. I guess we can look forward to your Oddly Enough blog for some time, huh?
Fat chance, loser!
Excuse me?
I hope that didn’t sound rude. I just mailed my application for the greatest job in the world, and with my blogging experience I’m a shoe-in.
Really! What’s that?
Tourism officials in Australia want someone to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and write a weekly blog with a photo diary and video updates.
Yikes! How much do you have to pay for that?
They pay YOU! Plus, there’s a luxury house and a pool and other stuff! Just go ahead and bookmark bob’sislandparadiseblog.com.
What happened to the last person who did it?
Who knows? Probably eaten by a shark or wallaby or barbie or diggery or something. That’s his problem.
Plus, it’s AUSTRALIA! That means I get to spend time in lovely Vienna! I pointed that out on my application.
Vienna Australia? Uh, Blog Guy, you may not want to quit your day job yet.
Okay. What day job?

Funny. I always figured you for a QUIZZZZZZZZZZZZZmaster.
Thanks, John… Now we’ll see if these kids today recognize the 182-year-old sitcom those lines are from…
I REALLY want to apply for this!
Back off, your ladyship. The job is MINE!
I wish you luck on your video application. My suspicion is that you won’t stand a chance unless you trim your handlebars a tad. They’re pretty outrageous even by Australian standards.
Speaking of Australia, the issue of Aussie fatties and the woes of the Flying Doctor Service has reached yet another venue – Wired News!

You\’re note the only one with geographic issues. Last summer in Salzburg I saw t-shirts saying \”No kangaroos in Austria. And I spent all that money on plane fare, too!
Salzburg is a lovely place if you\’re into S-M (Sound of Music).
