Same rule here .
PSA since people have asked Why posts here are 3rd person
This is the Lion's account. as He tries to make sense of the world from under that mop he calls a mane and have some fun .
The Human behind him prefers to step back and be anonymous to those who don't know him well IRL.
Lion had to work on his toaster again.
It wasn't quite right.
For a start, it is a Dualit, designed to be repaired , and the elements are replaceable. What had happened was he mixed two of them up. The center and end elements are different electrically, but look very similar Physically.

'gerrymandering ' is the lazyass way of trying to win an election.
Why not just get out there and CAMPAiGN if you want to win the votes.
Use all the old tools like street stalls ,letterboxing, etc like we do here.
'Boots on the ground' as the military say. :)

Several years later ,he met again at a darling harbour xmas gig where he was a book 'roo character, said hi and got recognised instantly.
She announced to a crowded dressing room, in a loud voice.,'Hey here is the tiger who used to fondle my t*ts'
Lion wanted to melt into the floor, thanks Maria. :)

Lion shared an xmas parade car with Maria Venuti as 'Mary Xmas' back when he was the Balmain tiger.
She was very 'well endowed' and we got snuggly, with permission., of course. She liked cuddling fuzzy characters, it seems.

Lion's drivers license expires on All Capone's Day ,Feb 14, the day his henchmen executed 7 people in a parking Garage in Chicago IL.
He thinks it has something to do with romance as well.
And Yes, he has already renewed his driver's license. :)

Managed to register for MOJOCon.
Lion originally wasn't going to but decided to to see if he can get his furry mojo back.

Winter olympics time.
This always makes lion think of this old Chad Mitchell
trio song recorded live at a university concert.
.. And they called him 'super skiier'.
from their album 'Mighty day on Campus'

Lion likes watching bobsled for the crashes too.

.. Oh, here comes a bobsled upside down,
.. Oh ,here come 4 people sliding down on their arses. :)

Better than the pratfalls during the skijump ,
or people going into the hay bails at a zillion mph during the downhill. :)
For once we can go to bed at a decent hour after the tennis. What’s next? Footy? Oh wait the Winter Olympics are next week. Is the luge still an Olympic sport? That’s one sport I can really get into because I could do it. I mean how hard is it to go balls-first down an ice chute?

He has to stop them behaving like fireworks first.
Don't want it raining robot parts when one goes BANG! :)

Lion has his first labor party branch meeting of the year at the end of this month.
It is going to be 'interesting'. :)

Lion prefers the term 'differently abled ' to 'disabled'.
Lion's own 'abilities' have changed over the years and sometimes even by the hour.
If he can't do something one way he will look at another way of doing it. This is NOT 'ableism' ,it's common sense. :)

Starting to see some more furry artists on here again.
Some light amongst the gloom . :)

Lion has a quick way of spellchecking a word he is doubtful about.
He just types the spelling he thinks it is into the Google search box on Firefox and the dropdown underneath gives him the correct spelling.
He doesn't even have to do a search. :)

Ch10 here in AU is part of CBS ,if lion recalls correctely.
Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today.

"We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."
