Thursday, January 27, 2011  Australia Day BBQ Competition  In
the shadow of Seattle's Space Needle, hopeful Australians and
their equally hopeful sheep gather to commemorate the arrival of
the first batch of colonists—half of them convicts—to arrive in
Australia, in 1788.  They do this, of course, by barbecuing
their friends and/or being barbecued by their friends.  Which,
we guess, is their quaint way of reenacting the warden/prisoner
motif.  (Pardon us, but Australia Day was actually the 26th.
We're late. But we're sure the animals had their chance to die,
and that's all that matters.)   Tahn said...  It is actually
quite disgusting here in Australia. Apparently all Australians
should eat lamb on Australia Day, and if you don't, it is deemed
unAustralian! Well, guess what? I'm proud to be unAustralian if
that is the case! Also they are trying to make it legal to NOT
feed new calves for the last 30 hours of their lives! Check out
