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?

Speaking of Australia, the issue of Aussie fatties and the woes of the Flying Doctor Service has reached yet another venue - Wired News!

- Posted by My gold lamé macramé résumé!? | iSawNEWSNews.comYou\’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).
