Funnily enough I was talking about this just last night, but today is the sixtieth anniversary of the assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as “Mahatma”, meaning great soul.

Well it’s that time again, and you know what you have to do, no ?
OK … on the 18th day of the second month of the year I celebrate my continued existence, and for the past three years for one reason or another that has been slightly tricky, however to get around an issue of geography I have celebrated it “virtually” online with a “virtual” Groucho Party.
What is a Groucho Party, I imagine you may ask ?
“Essentially a Groucho Party is a twist on a fancy dress party where by everybody comes dressed as Groucho Marx.”
The “virtual” twist works like this, “Take a picture of yourself wearing a pair of glasses and a greasepaint or false moustache, and smoking a cigar ( or cigar type object ;) and send it to me”, “I will display them on the web somewhere”, you can also upload them onto your own website and send me a link.
You can see previous years entries on the web here …

Now unlike previous years I am actually slightly more settled, though looking to move again but that is beside the point right now, and also it’s a significant birthday as it is a multiple of ten years, so for those in Hawai’i ( or those who can get themselves over here ) I am going to hold a non-”virtual” Groucho Party, exciting stuff.
Details to follow. This is merely an initial post to give you all some time to prepare.
I hope you can all “attend”, “virtually” or otherwise, gatecrashers are welcome to the online event … and possibly the non-line one … if they’re cool.
I don’t know, what do you think ?
UPDATE : The 18th is also President’s day in the US, thats a public holiday.

When animals attack … Australian Camel edition
Monday, August 20th, 2007From Aunty …
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.
Camels were brought to Australia in the 1840s for transportation
If I remember correctly from my time in Oz, Camels are one of the few introduced species that do not damage the environment of Australia.
Young camels are not normally aggressive but can become more threatening if treated and raised as pets.
