I do, I have a few sporting hero's myself but I just don't quite get why all this bother over an offhand remark....

Actually I do, 99.9% of people are spastics and will fight over anything....

Whatever happened to Yahoo Serious? After such a stunning debut in the world of Hollywood, you would think he would have gone far...

Ever watch 'Bush Tucker Man' with Colonel Les Hiddins? He used to go around the Bush doing a Croc Dundee type "it tastes like s**t but you can eat it" impression. He used to make out you could spend all day looking for a few berries which would both replace the energy you spent gathering the food in first place, and sustain you.

My favourite things were the freshwater shrimps (with attendant wise-crack...) and the leaves that could be used to make soap.

I kept trying to remember all the information he came out with, just in case I got stranded in the Australian bush after my Ute broke down. I don't even own a Ute!

Well i'm not surprised fer only real men drive Utes in Oz...

eventually my wife might let me get one...

The bust tucker man was a good show, but thankfully I never had to employ any of his tips...last I heard he was in Queensland involved in some kind of veteran's group (he was a Vietnam veteran).

Yahoo I think thankfully got the message, and does bugger all...but no doubt theres always the comeback

Yeah it was a good show, some of the stuff he did was amazing. I'm sure you could live off the land if you had his knowledge at hand. I didn't know he was a Vietnam Vet - he didn't look that old.

The Crocodile Hunter bloke is just nuts, even though he's a highly regarded academic. He's hard to stomach after about 10 minutes however.

A highly regarded academic eh?  Well compared to a Pom, that wouldn't be too hard would it? :D

The bush tucker man was in Vietnam in a reinforcement company in 1966, surprising enough...I think he ended up a Major in the Australian Army.

That's right, it was Major not Colonel.

But hey, it was a while ago.

Croc Hunter is an academic - curator of a museum and everything. Not just some ozzie version of Jonny Knoxville. ;)
