Kidding. But now you have to help me bump this to 588 by tomorrow!! Okay?

Can do...how about a "caption this"???? This is a photo I took on my trip to Texas last week. On our way to San Antonio we stopped at the Snake Farm and visited the "zoo" they had there. This picture I took of a wallaby gets me to laughing everytime I look at it. Soooooo.......

There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying. He gets himself up
onto one elbow and 'e turns to his mates, who are all gathered around and 'e says:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed,
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down, sport

Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down, sport

I am playing the part of Armistead T. Mason in a re-encactment of the famous Mason-McCarty duel all weekend as part of the "Hauntings" festival in Leesburg. The following from a Virginia travel guide on the internet tells a little about this dual. Note that I "die" in a blaze of glory and I am wearing a cool costume with a top hat. I also make a cool speech before the duel. We use muskets at 10 paces. Had large crowds last night.

"The first house at Selma was built by the grandson of 'Madam Mason,' General Armistead Thomson Mason (1787-1819), United States Senator. General Mason was killed by his cousin and neighbor, Colonel John Mason McCarty, in a duel that grew out of political rivalry. Mason had ignored his cousin's challenge and the affair had almost blown over, when, returning by stagecoach from Richmond, he met his old friend, General Andrew Jackson, who advised Mason not to let the challenge pass. McCarty, who had cooled, tried to avert the encounter by making ridiculous suggestions for carrying it out. However, Mason wrote that he 'was extremely anxious to terminate once and forever this quarrel.' To avoid Virginia's recently enacted anti-dueling law, the affair took place near Bladensburg, Maryland, February 6, 1819. Mason was killed and McCarty was dangerously wounded."
