There is a documentary which has played a couple of times on Foxtel recently, called Yeti Massacre.

It is the story of a group of nine teenaged students in Russia who went hiking in the Urals, and didn't come back. A search party located the remains of all of them a couple of weeks later, horribly mutilated. Some were dismembered, a couple crushed so badly they had multiple crushed ribs and other broken bones, and other organs burst. A young girl had had her tongue ripped out, and the autopsy revealed more than a litre of blood in her stomach, indicating it had been done while she was alive. 

It had to be done by something very large, and extremely powerful. Bears were ruled out. The concensus was that it was onwe or more Yeti.

There are reports that Stalin sent a company od soldiers into the Urals to capture a Yeti alive to train as a fighting animal. One was captured and was being transported back to Moscow in a rail boxcar, but and incident on the journey resulted in the Yeti being killed.

Himmler is supposed to have captured a Yeti, and its stuffed carcase is in a museum in Italy.

No image for this one.

I was walking through the shopping centre and passed one of those variety shops crammed with all sorts of junk, usually run by Asians.

This one had a rack out front with a few signs on it, and one caught my eye. It said...

This property is protected by shotguns three nights a week. You guess which three.

What about the tribes in the Amazon who have not yet been exposed to white man, or even other coloured races in South America?

Not so much Dan this time but Melbourne City Council.

Parts of Flinders, Spencer and Collins streets could be closed to cars at peak times under a Melbourne city council proposal to reduce the number of people driving through the CBD and prioritise pedestrians.

Blocking some city streets to private vehicles between set times each day and restricting car access to a single direction along others are key proposals in the scheme to make the city more walkable.

Thank you Lord Mayor Sally (Andy?) Capp. Phone zombies and cyclists win again.

65,000 years..

That's what the woman on The Voice advert says.

Saw a meme on FB showing Rolf's ashes urn. The comment was it should be mixed with urinal cakes and put in urinals so people could p1ss on them.

Even their ancestors migrated here from Africa 65,000 years ago.

Whatever it's called, it's all the same thing. I have nothing against aboriginals as individuals, just the same as I don't have anything against Indians, Asians, etc. I went to school with a few aboriginals, and they were black, not lily white like so many demanding special treatment these days. One of my brothers in law was part aboriginal. I just hate how we have to give up so much of our culture and acquiess to theirs. Why should I have to be welcomed to the country generations of my family were born in, at the drop of a hat?

An old trucker sat down in a diner and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the wrinkled old gear jammer and asked, ‘Are you a real trucker?’
He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life driving big rigs. I have delivered grain to breweries, I have carted machinery across the country, I have given rides at county fairs to lots of kids, and clocked up over 4 million miles, that's like to the moon and back 10 times  so I guess I am a trucker – what about you?’
She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young boy sat down on the other side of the old truck driver and asked, ‘Are you a real trucker?’
He replied, ‘I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian!

Here we go again.

Not only do we have to have a Welcome to Country ceremony at the opening onf an envelope, now Geelong Council has cancelled Australia Day and turned it into an Indigenous Persons Day.

You're way out of line Red

Because every time I write something about D.A., you shoot me down in flames. I guess we agree to disagree.
