Skiing has been around for over 4,500 years! :eek:

 

In fact:

: c.1222 The first marriage break-up caused by skiing is described by Icelandic bard Snorre Sturlason. The goddess Skadi abandoned her husband, the god Njord, to go skiing. During this period, legends grew up around those who were skilled on skis.

"Skiing is in many ways is a truly Australian sport like Australian Football. While many sports have come to Australia from overseas, skiing has a longer history here than Switzerland. During the 1830's Tasmanian fur trappers were using skis made of local timber, shaped like a present day snow shoe to move across deep snow covered areas.

 

Gold discoveries at Kiandra, New South Wales in 1855 let to Scandinavian miners using fence posts as forms of ski. By 1862 this new sport had emerged in the Kiandra area, with the Ski Club of Kiandra (then called the Kiandra Snow Shoe Club) being formed in 1878 and is one of the oldest ski clubs in the world. It is reputed that "Banjo" Paterson was one of the early members of the club. "

FACT:

 

A doped cat, who crapped itself and proceeded to roll around in it, and escaped its box, and continued to jump you from behind whilst you are carrying along at 140km/h and then pounces you and tries to kill you by tearing your aorta out is not funny. And that's a fact, ladies and gentlemen.

I would've given rep for that, but apparently I've gotta spread the love first...

 

COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!

 

Cats? HATE the ****ers! They kill all the birds in the garden, the geckos in the house, anything you'd care to mention, cats completely and utterly seem to **** up! The bastards we drove down to Cape Town are my mate's cats, he's relocating. I personally can't stand the little ****ers...

There are some nice cats who don't hunt.

They can give a lot of joy if you spend the time getting to know them.

I think they're amazingly trippy-

I understand why the egyptions

worshipped them,

 

It was the night that me

and kelly's cat

MADE UP GAMES

with rules,

and everything,

and passed the time

logically,

as fun as we could.
