Thought of the day...

Saturdays and Wednesdays we get the paper delivered. We get the Wednesday paper because it has the liftout about Perth's most (not so) eligible bachelors. The guys in here obviously advertise themselves because they are not attractive or eligible enough to get a root any other way.

We get the Saturday paper because it has the TV Guide (The West Magazine) inside. Now this is just is not just your ordinary TV guide. It is full of all sorts of entertainment...The Danny Katz column, gossip pages, stories about random semi famous people and our personal favourite...a little section called "Go figure." This section has great pieces of useless information involving numbers. We love it.

Anyway, on Saturday the 26th March 2005 we saw the following pieces of useless information:

Cost of hiring a a kimono for a day where people wearing the traditional garment dont; pay for public transport: $35.

This got us thinking about an Australian equivalent that could be started. We need to embrace Australianism and respect our cultural heritage. This would surely ensue the following traditional clothing:

• Thongs - preferably double pluggers to avoid blow outs. Bare feet are also acceptable, as long as there is a build up skin on the bottom of the feet.
• Stubby holders around the wrist - for those moments where you need a cold drink but do not want a cold hand.
• Hat - either an Akubra or cork hat. All schools in Western Australia should make it compulsory for students to wear a hat such as this at all times. This will not only embrace the culture but protect them from such things as flies and sunburn.
• Items displaying the Aussie flag - To encourage Australian patriotism, citizens should be encouraged to wear at least one item of clothing displaying the Australian flag at all times. Some suggested items include: Aussie bikinis, corny shirts with sayings such as "Australians do it better," boardies bearing the flag or the highly stylish option of wearing a flag wrapped around the body toga-style.
• Other optional items - Some other forms of traditional dress may include, flannelette shirts (must have missing buttons and at least one rip), Singlet aka wife-beater (preferably a bit stretched out of shape and with a stain from tinned spaghetti down the front).

We would love to hear some other suggestions that you may have, to add a comment please click on the link below that says [x comments] and then click on 'leave a comment.' Thanks :o)
