Specifically, recipes supplied in books. I've just been reading 'The Art of the Bivvy' (camping in cold, clammy, wet sacks for the uninitiated) and came across this recipe for Glacier Pudding:

Ingredients:

Jam (Blackcurrant works well)
Glacier

Method:

Avoiding crevasses, spread pot of jam on glacier, stir with ice axe.
Serve....

Well, it made me laugh...

Hmm... thinking about wilderness survival recipes (when preparing those of your comrades who didn't make it, don't eat the green wobbly bit) d'you think that, with a little seasoning, Ray Mears and/or the Bush Tucker Man could be persuaded to eat Steve Irwin?

I can just imagine Steve Irwin meeting Ray Mears:

"Cor, he's a right brute of a presenter. Let's see what happens when I really piss him off with this big stick with a copy of my ratings attached...."

great, now everyone in the computer room is wondering what made me laugh so hard I almost fell of my chair, I'm just going to get my stuff together and head for the door......

Steve Irwin's body has been found to produce huge quanities of a natural substance that has very similar effects to cocaine. Truly.

(um, that is, his body produces it in him, not the sight of his body produces t in others..... err... I'll shut up, shal I???)

Whatever turns you on, Ook...

And just as I was wondering aloud where you were (and possibly wandering, too)...

so THAT's what keeps him from blinking! I always wondered that about him! Have you seen their daughter, Bindi? She doesn't blink either. She must produce that same cocaine-like substance her dad does!

I wonder if there's a market for some sort of extract? Essence of Irwin, maybe? Of course he'd have to be farmed humanely to get the best yield. Perhaps this substance is produced in greater quantities when he gets excited, so in order to maximise yield and product quality, the livestock would have to be surprised by a King Cobra (or similar) at regular intervals.

Hm. Could work.

I do not fancy Steve Irnwin. There are many atrractive, exciting Ozzies out there, and I've made it a point of my trip in Oz to find a lot of them, but Steve isn't imho, one of them, besides being
(a) married and
(b) on a different sanity frequency to me.

Now Heath Ledger, on the other hand..................

Cheers for that, Steve.

Never mind the crocs, it was some of the Ozzies who scared me. You punch a croc on the nose, he'll back right down. Try that with some of the people I met? they'd have handed you your spleen in a beer can.

OW! OW! OW! Just because all of the males look like an inbred cousin of Shane Warne and Steve Irwin, if we're not out killing crocs we're at the pub getting pissed and getting into fights, and we share out our prescription drugs amongst the family, we get labelled....it's all fun and games til an Aussie looses an eye you know. Aussies do read this forum. There ARE some nice ones out there. Please believe me.

OK, Vanessa, we believe you. I remember sitting in front of a whole load of Aussies at a rugby match once, and actually they were very nice. Shared their beer out and everything. Had the whole stand singing 'Waltzing Matilda'. Mad as spoons, the lot of them, but not in any way offensive.

The bloke from Australia II was pretty cool, as were the kiwis and aussies I spent glasto 2000 with, so no complaints here.

I love Aussies... Best 6 months of my life was spent out there - no money, no job, no worries :) Want to do it again...

There's a great Steve Irwin spoof on Sluggy Freelance - www.sluggy.com

Steve Irwin in the Dimension of Pain (and there is more of him if you go through all the back pages too, but I don't really have time to do that...)



I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

I didn't say they were'nt nice, I said they was scary with it.
No, not 4x, everybody draank Victoria Bitter or Emu Bitter. Which when I was a barmaid, they would order by asking for a stubby of VB or EB, and so half the time I thought they were asking for the other one, and the other half I thought they were requesting a stubby of syphillis, or goherhea (can't spell it, don't care) and gave them a Look. Amusment ensued... for everyone else.

I can spell syphilis and gonorrhea, but what the plock is a stubby?
