Say, anyone got a light for my cigarette? They wouldn't let me bring my Zippo in on the plane... *sigh*

*Brightens up again* Oh, and the bar's open too, is it? *Smiles mysteriously* Make mine a Scotch and soda, if you'd be so kind? (There... that oughta explode the old myth about all us Aussies drinking Fosters... heh.)

Cheers y'all. Nice to know the entire US of A hasn't gone anti-smoking on me... and greetings from the all-too-warm Land Down Under! (Where it's early Saturday evening as I type, and therefore a fine time to get stuck into my two remaining vices... good liquor and good tobacco.)

Howdy, KJ! Welcome and have a pint on me. You don't happen to have a hungry crocodile in your travel bag there, do you?
