Two Prawns
by Mackin infar away in the tropical waters of the caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called justin and the other called christian.
the prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area.
finally one day justin said to christian, "i'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, i wish i was a shark, then i wouldn't have any worries about being eaten..." .

Dealing with Aussies
by Mackin intips for effective and painless interacting with aussies: .
1) don't offer to buy an australian a drink .
he will want to be your friend.. 2) don't talk about sport or you won't want to be his friend and you have to fly home in a week anyway.. 3) don't start a fight in a pub and expect the aussies to help.

Hey Aussies, Is Peter Brock a Dub?
by Mackin ini just saw on the 6.00 o'clock news that peter brock is racing in bathurst this weekend.
i had heard ages ago that he had become a dub.
surely the wts would 'tut 'tut at him engaging in such a "dangerous worldly activity" as motor racing?

I voted for the first time
by Mackin inwell actually it was about two weeks ago now, but i was just talking with another x-jw friend yesterday who commented how significant it was for her.
i'm not particularly political, i don't have strong opinions on politics, but it was pretty cool being free to do something that i had always been taught to believe was a terrible sin.. you see here in new zealand there was a general election held on july 27. all my life i have been in the borg and subsequently never voted, it wasn't allowed.
voting would have made me "part of satan's system of things" and all that.. so for the month or so leading up to the election i paid extra attention to the political situation in the country and made a decision and when the day came, i made my way to the polling place (the local high school hall) and voted.. just thought i'd share that with you all.
