| Week So Far |
[Apr. 3rd, 2008|11:25 pm] |
My Bloody Oath, madshutterbug is insane. Went with the bloke to the big rage Tuesday night, that Not Berry Farm. Only it's not a farm at all, it's an amusement park with roller coasters. Roller coasters are ace fun, and we rode several with looptheloops and vertical climbs and dives and barrel rolls. Then he talked me into riding one called Ghostrider and I said I'd give it a burl. It's built on a bloody forrest; all wood frame, and 'streuth it'll rattle your teeth out.
Like to give me a liquid laugh it did I'm sorry to say.
Wednesday night tho went to a ripper rage with the eChapter mob. Met a dinkum bloke from the Lucky Country, at first I wondered if he belonged to tassie_gal but no, he's from Queensland.
Tonight we went to another rage with fair dinkum tucker and a band. Now we're back at the unit, starting to get ready to hit the road tomorrow.
It's been a week. |

| An Ottarz Travel Tail |
[Mar. 28th, 2008|08:07 pm] |
I keep forgetting that going tramping with madshutterbug isn’t always ragtops and windiness. Bloke woke me up at the arse-crack of before dawn to go to the airport for the goony bird.
We got into the hotel no worries, though a bit late to have tea with Fat Fred & Skippy. So instead madshutterbug ordered some nice Italian thing with cheese and veal and cheese. Toddled off to bed shortly after that. Then, ‘streuth, before the arse-crack even showed we were up and moving again. Bit of bouncing about in the Tampa airport because it turns out two of the legs weren’t on exactly the same airline, only it is more or less. No worries with Security; I rode my wee tram through the machine. Oh, some whacker bloke ahead of us insisted on emptying out each individual pocket instead of using a waistcoat like madshutterbug does.
We both snoozed once aboard the flight up to someplace called Charlotte. Then we snagged some tucker between planes, and this time when we got aboard we had a porthole seat! Porthole seats are bloody dinkum. I like watching everything get smaller as we move, then bigger as we get to where we’re going.
Now, we were supposed to go some place called San Francisco first, only that second gooney bird went to Vegas! Bloody oath, ‘streuth, we went to Vegas! madshutterbug didn’t tell me we were going there, but when I asked him he said we were supposed to go to San Francisco but something happened. We didn’t stay in Vegas, only changed gooney birds like in Charlotte. He was a bit of a wowser, though, wouldn’t let me go explore. I promised him I’d be back in plenty time for the flight.
Short hop to the next stop, someplace called John Wayne Airport. We didn’t stay there long. The airline lost madshutterbug’s bag just like the trip to Vegas last year, but he didn’t seem concerned about it. ‘Course, he did pack along things in the carry-on. And of course the camera kits stayed with us.
Now he's flaked out in bed, and I'm going exploring. Toodles! |

Since madshutterbug is off on his annual jaunt to his nurses meeting, I decided to invite meself along. 'Streuth, the rental he picked up for the first part of the trip made a dinkum arvo. A ragtop, and he put the top down too! Bloody oath, ripper drive. Though we did need to hold it back a bit couple of times for the troopers.
Tomorrow, going to ride the gooney bird to the West Coast. Oh, yes, we both brought our camera kits. Good to go. |

[Jul. 26th, 2007|09:57 pm] |
‘Streuth, going walkabout with madshutterbug has advantages. Going solo, I’ve got to figure a way to get places. With madshutterbug, I just climb aboard. Usually the stewards and stewardess’ just go googoo eyes over me; I get lots of extra bikkies. Rather torques madshutterbug that he doesn’t. And flying is the otter’s swim, for sure. It’s a fair dinkum thing to climb up and look out the porthole, watching the world move by as the plane taxi’s out, then rushing down the runway and leaping up into the air. Pretty soon, everything starts getting small, and smaller, until big houses are smaller than my paw. ‘Streuth, that’s ripper! After a bit though, things get too small to really see much. You can still pick out the watercourses, and the shadows of the clouds.
Most humans don’t like it when the flight gets bumpy, but it’s like swimming a rapids. Just the same as bouncing among the water currents. Long stretches of calm though, I generally go to sleep for a bit.
And they need to include otter-sized headsets for the movies. Blooddie things they provide are too heavy, and don’t’ sit right on me ears. Mebbe I can nick one of madshutterbug's ear bud sets. Those would be dinkum.
Oh, and tassie_gal, that bronzie bloke I showed where Oz is? His bloody globemaker had some 'roos loose in the north paddock. He left Tassie off the globe! |

| Big Bird Time |
[Jul. 25th, 2007|12:17 pm] |
Well, madshutterbug and I are sitting in the Rapid City Regional airport waiting for the big bird to come. madshutterbug seems pretty happy about the trip, says he got some good photos. I got a few, no worries. Yesterday we went walkabout in Rapid City and madshutterbug's sister introduced me to a bunch of bronzed blokes who evidently did something important at some time. Some of them were friendly, a few weren't. One of them needed me to point out where Oz is; terribly lacking in geographical knowledge, that one.
And apparently he's the father of the bloke they say is running this show these days.
I didn't go with them to have dinner with George and the Boys, whoever they are. It was too bloody hot, 'Streuth, and I was looking for some water to swim a while.
It'll be good to get back to the Station. |

Well, I slept most of the flight after that mad madshutterbug rousted me from me waterbed at the arse-crack of dawn yesterday. But then, so did madshutterbug. We took our time clearing the airport, since the madshutterbug said our place here wouldn't be ready quite yet. Then why did we get up at the arse-crack of dawn?
Anyway, this place is hot just like back at the Station, but a lot less humid. Me fur started drying out before we got out of the airport. Didn't take long to get into the city, and it is a big city. I guess madshutterbug's plans were dinkum, as we got straight into our room. Streuth it's a dinkum tub here too; made use of it right off. Blokes gotta stay wet.
We did a short walk-about after that for some lunch and a few piccies (well, madshutterbug made some piccies, I didn't quite yet). Then in the evening madshutterbug went off to some social function. Asked me did I want to go, would be opportunities for piccies again. I said no; air's a bit thinner here than I'm used to and I wanted to lay back.
Then as soon as he was gone, I cleared the room and found the hotel swimming pool. Now that was a social function. |

[Jul. 20th, 2007|01:13 pm] |
madshutterbug was getting the photo kit together a few days back, and I asked him where he planned to go. It's a two-stop trip, with the first stop being a place called the Mile-High City. So I thought, Dinkum opportunity for some photos, and I packed me bags and tucked along with him.
We pulled into O-town early enough and bivouacked at a nice enough place called the Courtyard by Airport. Nice tub, I filled it up and climbed in and enjoyed me own private water-bed after checking my kit to be sure I have everything (I do).
Bloody Yank didn't say anything about gettin' up at the arse-crack of dawn.
But we've arrived in Mile-High City, and we're going walkabout in a bit to make some piccies. |

Dredd, Ofuroyama & I had such a rip snorter rage at BARF (well, up until Dredd opened his lunch on the way home), meetin' up with Ottar Vimh and BedFred and a couple otter blokes, we put our heads together to nut out this song. 'Streuth Ofuroyama is built like a brick shithouse and lays down one hella percussion beat he does. Doesn't talk much tho. Annyways, here's the ditty:
Every day I get in the queue (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
Buddha-con only another mile (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
You'll Rub de Buddha, have no fear (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
But can I buy your Ottar Bus? (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
Nooooooooo!
I don't care how much I pay (Tuna, Ottar Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to to eat buffet (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)
Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to Ot-tar Bay
Thruppence and sixpence each day
'Cause I Rub de Buddha every way
Ottar Bus, Ottar Bus, Ottar Bus ...
I said, now I've got my Ottar Bus (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I said, now I've got my Ottar Bus (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I drive my Ottar every way (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
Each time I get a sushi plate (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
I want it, i want it, I want it, I want it ...
Every day you'll see the dust (Tu-na, Ottar Bus)
As I Rub de Buddha in my Ottar Bus (Tu-na, Ottar Bus) |

| Hoggetown Faire |
[Jan. 30th, 2007|09:47 am] |
 |
Bloody Cold
Mad Shutterbug is truly mad. Got me up before the arse crack of dawn, and off we went to some festival called the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire. It were bloody cold out! I am surprised I didnt freeze my balls off. Thank goodness for my fine fur coat. |
 |
Me & Fat Fred
Even Fat Fred thought is was cold, so he nicked Mad Shutterbug's furry hat (which looks like a dead possum). I was playing with Mad Shutterbug's camera, which has a timer on it to be able to take self-portraits. |
 |
Bloody Pixies
So Fred & I are working on these self-portraits and Skippy is playing around with this pixie what got away from her and lighted on Fred's head. |
 |
Pixies and Fuzzies
All the Fuzzies were being sold by Skippy, but they didnt actually WANT to be sold. They wanted Pixi stix. Madshutterbug didnt have any though...so he sold them into slavery to buy pixi stix. |
 |
Louie the Horn Guy
Right next to Skippy's booth is Louie the Horn Guy. He sells fantasy horns, and otter ears. Fred's got some of the otter ears, as Skippy says he is deaf as a dodo. Louie needed to water the plants, so we took care of his cart while he went behind a tree. |
 |
Me
Mad Shutterbug got these horns, he sez for the studio as a prop, but I think I may nick em. I look good dont I?. |
 |
So, Which One Best
So which one's the best self-portrait. Struth, it's bloody hard setting up that self-timer and running into the picture on time! |
 |
Me & Fat Fred
This one shows you Fred's otter ears he got from Louie, and me with MY horns. I am going to be a devil of an otter now. The sheila's really dig the horns. |
