wit is just educated insolence
My name is Jen and I live near the Murray River in a beautiful part of Australia.
I enjoy good writing as much as intriguing images, and I really admire creativity and originality.
Most of all, I love to laugh - and I believe that wit and a sense of humour are very appealing attributes.

Here’s a handly ready-reckoner to compare the size of Australia to the EU.
Size really does matter.

Sydney Harbour Fog #3 (via Luke Redmond)
Even the most famous and iconic bridges take on a whole other feel when they’re shrouded in fog. I like the feeling of mystery that envelopes a structure that you might drive over hundreds of times a year….
This is where I live.
Well, two blocks away, anyhow :)
Sunset, cable beach ( Western Australia ) by mark boyle
I haven’t been there, but it’s on the bucket list.

It’s so stirring, and it makes me proud to be Australian !

More details to …err….hand :
Mr Skumavc said about eight other friends joined Mr Rolih for the party.
He said a scantily clad exotic dancer appeared after awhile and was soon performing her party trick: shooting dildos at the guests.
Mr Skumavc said those who had seen the infamous ping-pong ball scene in the Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would know how the party trick worked.
He said the pink projectile was flying an impressive 7m across the room and looping about 2m high.
“It wasn’t a strong shot (when it hit me in the head),” he said. “It probably just landed on an awkward sort of angle.”
“She was shooting it through the room from one corner to the other,” he said.
“Other people got it in their chest and knees. I was the only one bleeding. It was my turn and it landed straight on my forehead.
“She started apologising straight away but I just said it was fine … then I touched my forehead and there was blood.”
Mr Skumavc had difficulties describing the tearaway toy in detail.
“I don’t have a massive experience with dildos,” he said. The scars left by the offending object have since healed, but Mr Skumavc said the story was still very much alive.
“People keep asking how close my face was (to cause that sort of injury),” he said.

Rollin’ on the River
Last autumn I took my trusty old camera and decided to capture what I see on one of my regular walking routes. This circuit took about an hour.
I should explain that I live in a tourist town, and that the transportation system is not confined to what you see in the video ;)
Animoto is a great online program to use, and you can make a 30 second video for free.
(I had too many pictures and wanted them to be shown with all the special effects and accompanied by a full musical track, so I paid for a 12 month unlimited account, but it’s not expensive.)

Chooky Dancers
Watch a fine Aboriginal dance troupe perform a traditional dance, then at 1:36 be prepared for a wild cultural crossover, as the Chooky boys do Zorba like you’ve never seen it before.
Australia, home to the world’s biggest sinners?
I’d like to thank marielaem for providing this evidence.
Evidence that makes my country great, and the reason why I am the quintessential Aussie.
Oi! Oi! Oi!
