IT'S A BIRD IT'S A PLANE IT'S SUPER ROB
















ONE OF THE THINGS I GOT TO DO WHILE I WAS AT LAGOON WAS FLY. LOL. IT IS CALLED THE SKY COASTER. I WAS PUT IN A HARNESS RAISED 153 FEET IN THE AIR BY A CABLE ATTACHED TO THE HARNESS. I GOT TO PULL THE RIP CORD AND DID A PENDULUM SWING TO THE GROUND. OK I AM A LITTLE ON THE NUTS SIDE LOL. I WAS GLAD THAT MY FRIEND WENT WITH ME TO TAKE THESE PICTURES FOR ME. THANKS.

THE SAMURI











THERE IS NOT ALOT TO SAY ABOUT THE SAMURI THE PICTURES AND THE SIGNS SAY IT ALL. IT WAS AN EXTREME RIDE.

THE BAT



















THE LAST ROLLER COASTER WE RODE FOR THE DAY WAS THE BAT. IT IS A COASTER THAT HANGS ON THE RAILS. BASICALLY THE RAILS ARE ABOVE YOU INSTEAD OF BELOW YOU. I HAVE NEVER RODE ONE BEFORE AND IT WAS GREAT.






THE END TO A PERFECT DAY




THE ULTIMATE END TO A PERFECT DAY WAS THE CATAPULT. IT WAS JUST WHAT IT SAYS. THEY PUT YOU IN A SPHERE ATTACHED TO CABLES AND A MAGNET RUN BY SPRINGS. WHEN THEY LET THIS SPHERE GO IT IS SHOT 250 FEET INTO THE AIR LIKE A BULLET. IT WAS AWESOME. IT IS KIND OF LIKE REVERSE BUNJI JUMPING. YOU GO WAY UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH BACK UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH. WELL YOU GET THE PICTURE. I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THIS RIDE BECAUSE LIKE THE SKY COASTER IT WAS AN EXTRA FEE BUT AS I WALKED BY IT WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SORRY THAT YOU DID NOT DO IT.I HAD A GREAT DAY.

IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS

TONIGHT AT 8 PM IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I HAVE SMOKED A CIGARETTE. I FEEL MUCH BETTER AND FEEL LIKE I HAVE MORE ENERGY. THANKS TO THE NEW DRUG CHANTEX IT MADE IT EASY AND MUCH MORE BEARABLE TO QUIT. I HAVE BEEN SMOKING FOR 40 YEARS AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO QUIT. I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO QUIT

A LETTER TO MUM AND DAD

THIS IS A LETTER FORM AN AUSTRALIAN SOILDER TO THEIR MUM AND DAD

Dear Mum & Dad,I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum's bum and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of piss!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer. I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.




Your loving daughter,Sheila

TOO FUNNY

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife.. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest.. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.. .? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dumbass,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and .. . HOLY COW . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE !!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.. A three second burst would be considered conservative? IT HURT !!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
P.S... My wife, who can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!
If you think education is difficult, try being stupid !!!
