Australia gets the honour of leading the world into the year 2011.

What an amazing continent. So futuroidic!

You been on those hippy drugs again

Since this seems a little off, I think I'll move it over to Off Topic.

Oh, shoot. I thought I was posting this in the Ye Olde Off Topic Forum. Is it possible for me move this thread to Off Topic, or is that option available only for the Upper Crusters? Sorry 'bout that.

Lucien: prithee pray tell: which "hippy drugs" are you referring to? I eat shiitake mushrooms sometimes, and furthermore; it's spelled hippie.

Plus, knowing what I know about your favorite place (and mine) I'm almost 100% positive you've been "slipped a mickey" on at least one of your Disney World extravaganza sojourns.

Happy trails to you... until we meet again... la la.

My brain isn't functioning on a level that lets it respond appropriately to this thread...

I suspect you mean 2012, Mark, unless you accidentally stood too close to that time portal again. 

It's quite possible Mark's brain isn't functioning too well at the moment, either. 

It's a proven fact that time travel can scramble your neurons.

Your spell checking me on a thread that was posted in the wrong forum, had the wrong country (Samoa gets new year first, then New Zealand before Australia), wrong year (I think you meant 2012) and then called Australia a continent

Australia IS a continent.  Furthermore, we're the only one that is a single country.  Antartica doesn't count because bits of it are claimed by several other nations.

Mark, what are you talking about?  I fail to see what's going on here.  Is there a news story I don't know about?

Mark!  Stop confusing Chrono. 

Chrono!  Stop trying to make sense out of Mark's addled OLD mis-functioning brain.  You'll only burn out your own circuits.

Australia as a Continent includes New Guinea and a few other islands.    it's not just Australia the country.

I am so sorry you missed the memo. Everyone else knew that Australia was gonna be the first place celebrating the onset of 2011. Happy people having hordes of fun asked where you were. There was chocolate.

That's just crazy talk.

So, Australia isn't a continent.

Gee whiz. I make one little teeny-weeny geographical mistake and then get called out onto the carpet for it.

Most Aussies are more than comfortable with the idea that the continent of Australia is adequately described as being Australia. Sorry Lucien, irrespective of what your dictionary/atlas may say, I'm not allowing your interjection.

Me too want to adopt a 20 years old australian surfer ! 

This thread is weird.  I think I'll go look at the surfing scenery.  

Uh, oh -

That's not quite the scenery I had in mind, Inland.  

Isn't Bobo AWESOME......!!!!

I think it's because he hangs around Mark so much.

Hmmm..... do you mean Bobo has stolen all the awesomeness off Mark, leaving our decrepit old buddy suffering from a chronic lack of awesomeness...... Or do you mean he has acquired his patina of awesomeness simply by copying Mark.   Oh, wait..... maybe you mean Bobo only appears awesome when he stands next to Mark for comparison....

I'm sure you'll clear up which meaning it is you mean, Inland, before Mark gets back to the forum and underwhelms  er... clobbers you with his awesomeness (or lack thereof).

Mark is Bobo's mentor, and Mark being the nice fellow that he is, has devoted his remaining years to raising the poor boys awareness of all things good, and yes, even awesome. Poor Bobo was a wild and restless child, with no defined direction. In his early years he struggled with the dark side, and eventually became a notorious crime boss (see images below).

But thanks to Mark, we can all rest a bit easier knowing that there's nothing to fear from the improved, reformed Bobo.

Bobo's dark period -

After Marks coaching -

We all owe Mark the utmost gratitude, he's single handedly made the world a much safer place.
