It’s Australia Day, so make sure, if you get a chance, you have a nice barbecued lamb chop for lunch.
Or at least say ‘g’day’ to somebody for me!
First, yes, Australia Day is considered ‘Invasion Day’ by some Aboriginal groups, which I suppose is fair enough, but not sure if we’re supposed to feel guilty about it.
And yes, Australia Day lately seems to be a chance to tell Australians how racist they are, but… well… I figure just being nice to each other should be more than enough. I read the other week that Australians are generally very accepting. They’ll be mates with anybody no matter what religion or nationality… until they start trying to stuff that religion or nationality down our throats! Heheh… probably true!
But no, as I said on other Australia Day strips, if you don’t know some bloke’s name cos it’s hard to pronounce, just pronounce it ‘mate’ and you’re half way there. Either way, I’m waving the flag today no matter who thinks I’m a redneck for doing so!
Also, I posted a blog post about the 1,111th strip last update over at the School Spirit blog site, and also included a big thanks to all of you who have been a part of School Spirit in whatever capacity over the years. Go give it a read it you enjoy the strip. Your patronage is highly appreciated!
Cheers, and don’t forget about that lamb chop!
