Went to see the Scared Weird Little Guys last night for Mr K’s birthday. As everyone knows, I am not normally a fan of musical comedy… most of those bands/comedians? that Mr K loves are just not my thing. He loves Corky and the Juice Pigs, They Might Be Giants, Doug Anthony Allstars, Weird Al Whatsisname et al…. but I tend to find most of that sort of stuff, a little on the banal side for me . :S Generally I like to think I have a different sense of humor to Mr K… rather than his assessment that I have NO sense of humor. So when I went along last night, my expectations were pretty low I guess, which might be why I found it was better than I was expecting. I did enjoy some of the music stuff where they were smooshing together the music from one song with the lyrics with another… that was kinda clever and amusing.
Camels were brought to Australia in the 1840s for transportation

A woman in Australia has been killed by her pet camel after the animal may have tried to have sex with her.
The woman was found dead at the family’s sheep and cattle ranch near the town of Mitchell in Queensland. The woman had been given the camel as a 60th birthday present earlier this year because of her love of exotic pets. The camel was just 10 months old but already weighed 152kg (336lbs) and had come close to suffocating the family’s pet goat on a number of occasions.
On Saturday, the woman apparently became the object of the male camel’s desire. It knocked her to the ground, lay on top of her and displayed what the police delicately described as possible mating behaviour. “I’d say it’s probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing,” the Associated Press news agency quoted Queensland police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory as saying.
Young camels are not normally aggressive but can become more threatening if treated and raised as pets.
