What's in a name?

Aside from dropping the kids off at the pool, one of the first things I do upon arriving at work is to have a gander at online SMH.

Keeping with the theme of the past week, I immediately clicked onto an article about the Croc Hunter.

At this point some would argue that I am just a pathetic loser, but to hell with that because my whole fascination with Steve can now be totally justified.

It turns out that back in 1991, Steve owned a Staffordshire bull terrier cross called Sui.

What the, I hear you say?

Crikey it's farking true!!!!

Here are some other facts that might astonish you:

1. Irwin's first child was Bindi Sui.
2. He named her after his favourite crocs Bindi and Sui.
3. His son Bob was born 1 December 2003.

HELLO!!!!!!

Okay...so Irwin's "Sui" was probably pronounced the way Aussies would order mongolian lamb and chop soooooeeeey, but somehow I'm connected. For crying out loud, there are no other Sui's in this world but me and little ol' Bindi. Maybe I'll end up running the Zoo with her one day and young Bob and I will celebrate our birthdays together in Bindi and Sui's croc enclosure.

The only good thing about this blog is its name.

It must have taken someone blessed with both lyrical genius and wit, as well as immensely good looks to come up with that hil-ARIOUS title.

The rest of it is...

Clever, poignant sweet and funny - just like Lokes herself. It is TIME to open this up to the rest of the world!!

(and there's no denying you are a blogger now, whatever the fodder you choose to discuss... WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM!)
