Actually the fact the octopus didn't slaughter the crustys is my
problem.
octopus love lobbys
which is why lobbys around here hang in caves with wobbys.
And wobbys love to eat ockys so it all works for every one.

Do you talk like this in real life or what?...

R H "and is there any treatment for it?" Draney



It's called 'Ocka' mate!
Only the chosen few can speak it, gods own t'would seem.
Now if you would prefer the laborious terms wobbegong, octopus and lobster
I can work it it,
but your just making it hard on yourself digger.


Figured it was something like that...it's just that the specific words you
used,
and so many of them in such a short space ("lobbys hang around with
wobbys, and
wobbys love to eat ockys") sounded like a cross between Dr Seuss and HP
Lovecraft....r



Hard not to put an 'E' on the end of stuff......
It's like smoking or something, makes ya look cool it does.

Seuss and Lovecraft are gods tho, I am but a mere man.... so far.

I was taught the way to tell antipodeans apart was that Kiwi's put 'e'
on the end of everything and 'Strines use 'o'.

i.e. vegies vs vegos, rellies vs rellos.

Have I been lied to?

Sounds like an Aussie/Kiwi indulging in a favourite pastime of
"humouring" a Yank (taking the p... out of?).

If you want to tell them apart, hold up six fingers & ask how many
fingers - on the rare occasions you get a straight answer, if you hear
six its an Aussie, sucks its a Kiwi.
