Paging billy t! Australia has a new death adder. Got bored with the old ones?
Connie Neil
You have to worry when Australia stops messing around and says flat out "This shit will kill you."
-t
I thought that was what Australia was saying all the time.
billytea
Yes. Yes we are.
Toddson
There are two kinds of trees that will kill you - the red gum tree that drops heavy branches with no warning and the ... banya (?) pine that drops 22 kilo pinecones on you.
billytea
[red gum] Also called the widowmaker, here. Australia is like unto Season 4 of 24, where the villain induces a meltdown in all of America's 100 nuclear power plants as a decoy to distract attention from his real plan. So too, our venomous fauna is really just there to ensure no one pays attention to the trees. Everyone freaks out about a little snake, while it's just The Happening down here 24/7.

You know you're not doing any favors for the Australian Tourism Board's work.

Dropping the mic in Natter:
Strix: I have a question that I don't think that I could ask anywhere else but here. Ok, the phrase balls of steel, I've often translated it to ovaries of steel or gonads of steel, I've used adamantium or titanium. You get the gist.
However I, and other people, no longer possess or never had gonads so here's my quandary -- what phraseology can I use that is similar to that phrase which doesn't reference my no longer existent gonads?
I'm certainly not offended by my gonad-free existence. I certainly am NOT upset if someone references gonads, ovaries or balls of steel, whatever. It's just a curious thought that I cannot get out of my head. I can't come up with a really good answer.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
working my way through ita's thread (I have to take it small doses with a healthy side of wine) I found this post from way back in January that I have to immortalize...
Toddson - Jan 15, 2015
If life imitated art - as it should - ita's spirit would have passed into her laptop and then into the internet. I'd like to think of her whooshing through the tubes and pipes, maybe correcting some errant code. And taking joy in killing malware with her pinky.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is, of course, what I was trying to make Death say had happened in Sang Sacre. Naturally He would not allow himself to be nailed down in that fashion.
