    I remember hearing about Outback Steakhouse. I don't think I have seen the actual restaurant in person. Maybe there aren't any restaurants in my neighborhood.


    There be no Hobbits in the Outback. I think Hobbits all live in New Zealand.

    On the topic of Australia I missed the sale of outback and kangaroo in the Daz Store. I think outback was on sale two or three times.

    There was an outback sale? Never any shortage of kangaroos here :lol: Or outback :lol:


    Outback is the restaurant makes the bloomin onion.


    bloomin orion girls?

    You know how much grease/fat is in that thing? You can clog your arteries in one shot! :lol:

    If you find one, they're really good. Just stay away from that bloomin' onion!

    the nine ring armadillo is teh real cuteh

    Where did you get the armadillo?

    http://www.daz3d.com/cs-armadillo

    :)

    Thanks I do not think I have him or that he is on sale.


    Not having g a great morning. Just got a roommate last night and that did not go well. And there goes my bus.

    ah crap ! Hopes your day has improved a little by now :) And your room mate :) I was in a traffic jam in a tunnel this afternoon. Hates going down tunnels, imaginary disasters just seem to crawl out of all those little tunnel vent things every time I do :lol:


    ...during the recent heat wave we had (finally back in the low 80s again which i normal for this time of year) our LRT tam has to run as slow speeds so as not to damage the tacks or overhead catenary (I think the transit system needs to get it's money back for such shoddy work) Well, Monday when I was returning from an interview, it not only ran slow, but made several stops between stations including on in the deep several mile long tunnel under the West Hills. Now not sure how earthquake prone Melbourne is, but here in the Pacific Northwest we have a seismic time bomb 70 miles off the coast (the Cascadia Subduction Fault) that is ticking away. Should that slip we will experience a quake and resulting tsunami worse than the one in Japan a couple years ago. The last time it triggered a quake was in 1700 which produced a tsunami that was recorded in Japan.

    I usually take a bus that goes over the hills instead, however as I wanted to get through downtown before the 5:00pm commute crush, I took the tram since it was there and ready to leave while the bus I'd usually take was on a 20 minute layover.

    Not a good thing to have in the back of your mind as you go through a tunnel!

    Dana

    We don't have many earthquakes here. Thing about the tunnels under the rivers is they leak, you can see water running down the walls sometimes waaah :lol:

    Yes, that's how I feel going through the "Big Dig" tunnel in Boston. Boston itself is just a big landfill, and what they filled was the Boston Bay! And yes, I see water on the walls here and there sometimes. I hate going through it, but the alternative is going on Rt. 128 all around greater Boston. It adds a lot of miles and worse, it doesn't really save you from heavy traffic. We'll be heading through that tunnel again later this month when we go to New Hampshire. I get nervous when the traffic starts to slow down in there. :gulp:

    Dana

    And now they've got some of the same companies digging a highway tunnel along our waterfront. They swear it will be different, but so far all they've done is wreck the world's biggest tunnel boring machine...

    Where is this? They wrecked it? What were they drilling through, solid steel? 8-/

    ...difficult where I am as they do this "treat receipt" deal in August where any 16oz cold drink (including Frappacinos) is 2$ after 2:00pm.

    Don't really get claustrophobic in small spaces but big freeway tunnels are kinda so huge and so far underground and full of a mess of incomprehensible moving parts to go wrong I guess :lol: And all that water up there just waiting to fall down here :lol:

    Here in the UK we have tunnels that actually go under the water. There are 3 vehicle tunnels under the Thames for example, the longest of which is almost a mile long (1430 metres), and then there is of course the Channel tunnel, which connects Britain to France under the sea. and is 31 miles long. but you can't drive through that one, you have to put your vehicle on a train to go through.
    ...yeah will have to go through that when I go to the Continent. Wish they still had the Hoverspeed service as the only alternative is either a surface ferry (and crossing the channel that way can be notoriously rough) or an expensive air ticket for the 20 min flight to Amsterdam.

    Product label silliness from a specialty foods order this morning.
    1: "This is a carbon neutral product" on a bottled water brand's case:
    Let's see..... Water got PUMPED out of the ground. TRUCKED to the bottling plant. Injected into PLASTIC bottles by AUTOMATED machinery. Bottles placed into a CARDBOARD box via AUTOMATED machinery. It then has to be TRUCKED to a wholesaler and then TRUCKED to a retailer.
    2: Apparently "preservative" is such a bad word in part of the "natural foods" community that rosemary extract and ascorbic acid must both be called an "antioxidant" on the ingredient list of a package of pita chips.
    Gave me a good chuckle this morning.

    My back hurts. Wonder if I slept wrong. At least the headache is gone now.
    Fiancé thought he would be in a meeting all day again but they finished at 11:30 - just in time for lunch

    Feeling better now I hope?

    Product label silliness from a specialty foods order this morning.
    1: "This is a carbon neutral product" on a bottled water brand's case:
    Let's see..... Water got PUMPED out of the ground. TRUCKED to the bottling plant. Injected into PLASTIC bottles by AUTOMATED machinery. Bottles placed into a CARDBOARD box via AUTOMATED machinery. It then has to be TRUCKED to a wholesaler and then TRUCKED to a retailer.
    2: Apparently "preservative" is such a bad word in part of the "natural foods" community that rosemary extract and ascorbic acid must both be called an "antioxidant" on the ingredient list of a package of pita chips.
    Gave me a good chuckle this morning.

    ...I still chuckle when I'm in the natural food market and spot bottles of "Organic" Canola Oil on the shelf. There is no "Canola" plant, the oil is made from a Genetically Modified variant of the Rapeseed plant (which in it's pure unmodified form is primarily an industrial oil) first created in a lab in Canada (hence the name "Can-ola") back in the 1970s. Funny that many who work or shop there and will voice their displeasure over the use of "GMOs" seem oblivious to the product's true origin.

    Tunnel near me is 3.4 km long, not sure how much of that is under the river. On the antique Melways maps from the 1940s and 50s that whole area is called "the old Melbourne swamp" :lol:

    Melways could be a candy bar name :)


    ...well there is Milliways', the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

    only place ya can get a gargleblaster on the rocks.
