hey kids.... what a great day at taronga zoo today, scene of aforementioned dingo shots (the enclosure closed some years ago now though).......... we (my family - wifi/scarlet&alex and moi) stepped in to the bird show (photo above - scarlet still doesn't step though) -- the coolest thing -- the bird trainer (in photo foreground, that's the harbor in the background) calls out for 'dragon' to come on down and on cue some kind of owl drop glides in from some tree off rear audience left stage to perform more dopey tricks centre stage --- that was beautiful
ok so wasn't going to mention the following anecdote, but look what tim roth, gerard depardieu and some other dummie have concocted (whimsical):
http://m.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/fifa-scores-an-own-goal-at-the-movies-with-unwatchable-united-passions-starring-tim-roth-as-sepp-blatter-20150608-ghitmf.html
this brings to mind another memory of my father..... he was extremely enamored with a couple of english comedy shows: fawlty towers (with john cleese) and 'keeping up appearances' which is about some kind of middle class english lady who is very pretentious, pompous and stupid and wants to appear to be upper middle class or even upper class....she is extremely embarrassed by her working class sister and her mate otto........not to mention her neighbors, the anglican vicar and his wife (hey at least those anglican priests are allowed to marry!) also don't like her.........it's quite a funny show, both of them are, however, to see my father's biological reaction to these shows is something else, and really showed me what kind of an anglo-phile he was....... first of all his face would turn red, his lungs would start heaving and wheezing and tears of laughter and grunting sounds would ensue..........it was such a big deal, and so predictable, like a train in switzerland, i even invited one of my friends at the time (circa 1990) to witness the affair
said friend was enjoying some corn flakes with milk at around 6 or 7pm (why not?) when witnessing the aforementioned spasmodic laughter for the first time..... milk went from his mouth down his nostrils due to the unexpected laughter it produced in him....perhaps i never even warned him of what he was in for and hence the uncontrolled laughter on his own behalf
that's how the editing kit in my mind works: dopey movie with the idiot roth and the plane pisser only fit to make anderson cooper laugh......... do you know what johnny depp's cv says? strengths: making good fodder for 'family guy' jokes; extra comments: gifted............... turned out dad was right about hollywood too, bunch of idiots........ don't know why he liked sean connery so much though but probably coz of his james bond roles were hella cool.........sean connery is an awesome james bond, there's no question

this is the kind of movie scenario departpoo and roth should be in, not some propaganda piece for FIFA......
