That’s true, it just serves to make the behemoth a laughingstock.

We brilliant people have something referred to as a lounge which is usually approproately placed in the loungeroom. 😃

@rochellaine

Oh, its a very common term to refer to Australia, presumably because its down under the rest of civilisation. Its not offensive, but whenever I hear it used it just strikes me that the person has no idea about Australia and is relying mostly on stereoypes.

People were transported to Australia for almost no reason at all and they…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

A very small and weedy sapling perhaps?

I’ve read enough American books to know what it means, but we usually use the word lounge and couch sometimes.

@rochellaine

I’ve never read it. I’m instantly suspicious of anyone using the phrase Down Under though.

We have our “gentleman bushrangers” like Ben Hall and Harry Power, but for the most part they were a pretty nasty lost.

@Rochellaine

I don’t think even Arthur was doing that well (Mordred wasn’t one of his proud moments).

Wow! I’ve never really read about cowboys but they do sound pretty cool! All I know about them is the stereotypical stuff everyone else uses to make fun of them.

@rochellaine

(*whispers* we don’t use the word sofa in Australia)

But yeah I understand what you’re saying. I just try to say dinosaurs otherwise people look at you rather oddly.

The KJV bible mentions dragons in several places! And the Behemoth is usually said to be a hippo/elephant but I definitely think its a dinosaur.

@ethryndal

I think she’s referring to the Nephilim which are mentioned in Genesis 6:1-6.

@rochellaine

Goodness, it makes cowboys sound like the knights of the Round Table!

But really, I don’t understand why Americans have iconic, chivalrous cowboys and Australia has…bushrangers.

Yes there is, here you go 😊

@Rochellaine

I actually do! Some of it anyway. I don’t necessarily believe that dragons themselves were ever real, but I’ve read a lot about the possibility of dragons and dinosaurs being the same thing and over time, after dinosaurs went extinct, the stories of them getting more and more exaggerated until we have the fire-breathing mythological…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Definitely will be praying!

(On a side note, there’s actually a whole thread where we can post and respond to prayer requests, which most of us visit frequently)

@rochellaine

Goodnight!

I’ll keep an eye out for it!

@rochellaine

I haven’t read the book but I have heard of it and I’ve wanted to read it for ages! Before I came across the book I didn’t actually know the Von Trapps were real people.

@dekreel @rochellaine

No, I’m sorry, I just don’t like them. At all. It is my dearest wish that The Sound of Music is remade as not a musical. Though it does make sense it would have singing in it, since its about singers…just…not a musical.

@rochellaine

For the record The Sound of Music is not boring. How can it be? It has Nazis in it and fleeing to Switzerland etc. I just really can’t stand the songs, they drive me up the wall. Except for Edelweiss, that one’s nice.

@dekreel Unfortunately I have to disappear for a bit.

Good job with the word count!

I’d recommend  Les Mis, because it’s probably the world’s most popular musical to start with. Do you prefer comedic or serious sorts of stories?

@rochellaine

Oh dear….sounds like the sort of conversation I’d have with my sister. our conversations tend to go something like that.

@rochellaine

Okay, then.

I love conversations about killing characters!

@rochellaine

Oh, I see. I think I know the problem. I live in NSW which has an institution called Daylight Savings. That means after next Sunday, I’ll be living in a different timezone, and then it will be 5:00, but right now, it’s 4:00.

I’ve no idea, but I pretty much know what I’m going to write, so I’ll give it a try.

@rochellaine

Well, you and @dekreel are actually the ones who seem confused, which has confused me. Dekreel was talking about 5:40, so I wasn’t sure whether she’d just got the time wrong or whether she was actually talking about 5:40.

Anyway, I’m here and writing tomorrow’s blog post. 😀
