Lake Bolac: The Home of Bob the Bunyip

Yeah, I know it's been a week or more since I last wrote. We've just been busy: what, with Daphne's legal dilemma, Farouk's new "friend" and Paris's pranks, it's a wonder I get time to write at all.

Last night was the first time we'd all been together for ages. Daphne had us over for a meal and then showed us these "Soundboards" she'd discovered on the net. Basically, they're collections of sound grabs from famous people, assembled for one click access on a web page. There's a page for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson, Judge Judy et al. There are also some great examples of prank phone conversations that have been recorded by people using the audio grabs to pretend the celebrity in question was calling someone.

Did you sense a natural segue for Paris? Wrong! Although, I've never seen that side of Daphne before! One by one she called the people on her contact list as Dr Phil or Michael Jackson or Jack Black and either offended, confused or 'pranked' them all. I just hope none of the ones who hung-up read this before they call the Federal Police!

So what happened to Paris? Well, he found the link from the "Soundboards" site to a site called "Flabber" and spent hours sitting in the other corner on his laptop, cursing the vagaries of the Dutch language until becoming almost mesmerised. He seemed to be saying something like, 'Why can't they make these bloody laptop screens bigger!'
