Rupert seems born to skin dive!
While Sella is reluctant to get in the water. Flying, fire-breathing dragons don't swim well -they aren't built for it.
Jim's boning up on his freestyle in the hotel pool. Apparently, some neo-cubist painter was taken with Jim' sullen appearance.
I'll be ready to run as soon as I can find my running shoes.
Oh, Shoe Boy!
Ah. Here he is.
In the US, most of us only know the first verse of our national anthem. I'm not sure if it's the same with Aussies, but here's the first verse of "Advance Australia Fair:"
Australians all let us...
Lets roll 2 D4 to see if we eat breakfast!
Jim ate a vegetarian omelet successfully.
Sella ate, but her eggs were runny.
Rupert rolled a 2, but his mithril spoon gives him a +5 for eating Boo Berry.
I missed my mouth completly.
Don't worry, Jim and Sella are accomplished human-carriers. No one has fallen off Jim since poor old Choolak back in 62 . . .b.c. I swear, the guy had grease on his hands or something.
Ah, the beautiful city of Darwin in Northern Australia.
As you've heard, Charles Darwin pioneered the...

And so it went for three long weeks. Every morning, the theth returned and the cats remained hidden, creeping out only to risk a run to the trash bin or to the door where the bowl of food now sometimes failed to appear. The kittens never went to hunt without escort, and their...
Dragons do not mate for life. There's a rutting season, and the male and female stay together for a short period of time until their eggs are hatched, after which the male usually leaves.
Unfortunately, one of Jim's mates was slain before her eggs hatched, and Jim decided -of his own good...
Oops, sorry! I clicked "Submit," and then I clicked "Stop" on my browser when I realized I had something else to say. I thought I managed to stop it before the reply was posted but I guess not!
Dorr.
The moa, sadly, were victims of overhunting by the indigenous Maori tribesmen. They were hunted for their meat, and have been extinct for 100+ years.
Although many moa were huge -as big as Big Bird (no joke)- most were turkey-sized.
Kiwi -That is really very interesting. I don't know much about New Zealand, but it's good to be able to count myself a little bit wiser thanks to your expertise.
I have always been facinated by accent variation within the English language. I once had a friend who lived in Australia. When...
Lisa and I don't drink, but Jim's no stranger to pounding a few back.
Of course, he never drinks without his helmet.
I'm more of a Coke head . . . as in Coca-Cola.
Tell me, how similar is the New Zealand accent to the Aussie or the British accent?
-Ryan
Mr. Cat -Yes, Jim's a jack-of-all-trades. You should see his cross-stitching!
Kiwi -I'm pretty sure that Jim's fueled by all natural energy.
I know there's no ban on magic in New Zealand.
Is Aukland named for the bird, the auk?
The Great Auk . . . hunted to extinction.
My favorite whale sounds are the long, mournful howls.
Whalesong is, in my opinion, the most beautiful sound in nature.
Bren1. -Jim would be happy to help grade some papers!
Ahh . . . the beauty of the ocean.
I'll tell you a little about whale song while we fly.
No one knows why, or even how whales sing. Whales don' have vocal chords, so many have assumed that whalesong comes from air being compressed through the animals' massive sinuses and respiratory system...
