No offence meant Marty old chap but what in heavens name are you on about ?

"will not say whom of bunch I know, ie bower towers" WTF is that ? Not English son, not english. Gibberish , gobbledegook , a right load of old bollocks mayhaps but not a form of the Queen's English with which she would be even passing familiar.

Anyway, the idea of a world Boomerang championship in Seattle does not bear thinking about. Silly idea. Wrong hemisphere to begin with. Disaster will surely strike.

Do boomerangs circle around and come back to you clockwise in one hemisphere and counterclockwise (anti-clockwise) in the other? If you're on the equator, is a boomerage just a stick?

Yes it was late last night! the towers are my twin sons! a little clearer now?

The worlds were in oz a number of yrs ago. BUT, Australia from what I understand does not do real well in the compitition. The same group tried to get it to be an olympic tryout sport while olympics were down there, but rules or judging of some sort were not to specs.....anyway.

Need to do some paperwork, then catch a ferry to the sanjuans for laying some rock pavers.

Isn't Cricket an insect that marsupials eat?

Rugby, well you can have it along with american football, unless of course I am watching the crazy souls playing it! Then it is kind of phun!

Real Wombats only eats roots shoots and leaves !!

I know this might be hard to believe coming from a nation that plays a game that takes five days to complete and a draw is considered a good result but American football is just plain silly.

So is baseball.

Ice hockey is just plain weird but somewhat jolly in a blood curdling kind of fashion.

Me, I like curling. Now there's a game for real men and rodents alike.

Now TD ...

tell a 300 lb. supersized NFL lineman that his game is silly and see where that gets you

Watch Curling? whew, thats real exciting!!! I'd rather be nibbled to death by a frog
