Stompy you speak Australian, what's going on down there?
Wow! The signs were all there, right in front of us all along.Well, there have been clues that we somehow missed...
- BARBIE.... they named their outdoor grills after a fashion doll
- MATE.... refer to their male friends as if it's someone they're having sex with
- COBBER.... reaallly, reeaally good "mate"
....so, looking back , I can see how they would be deeply afraid on a toy that shoots tiny, wet, sponges.
Maybe because when one shows up everyone is pointing at all the blood in the waterWow! The signs were all there, right in front of us all along.
And why do they call a Great White Shark a White Pointer, huh? Pointers are dogs, as any civilized person knows!!
uh huh...exactly- have to read all the way to the bottom of the sensationalist article:At first I was wondering why anyone would comply (SA claims almost 4000 gel blasters were surrendered, 460 registered/serialized) but then I found this other article, with these two guys registering their Nerf guns for a laugh.

Of course Stomper follows Angry Cops. TBF I do too....Australians don't have Constitutional rights, except what's granted by government(s) and their attitudes concerning such matters align more along the lines (more or less) of mother England… but you know how that usually works out, "the lord giveth, the lord taketh away".
A fundamental lack of the right to keep and bear arms (ANY arms, even a pocket knife) to defend yourself is THE reason I didn't emigrate there, and brought my wife and her three kids (from a prior marriage) over here instead.
Anywho, forget about that… check out THIS latest Aussie dumbness!

Honestly that was either really poor choreography or the dancers just suck. Or maybe it's just a 5th grade level excuse to watch slightly overweigh, marginally attractive women to shake their not that great booties in your direction.
"...HMAS Supply... yeah, supplyin' a lotta A$$!"Anywho, forget about that… check out THIS latest Aussie dumbness!
I'm not familiar with Nerfs product line structure beyond the ones available in the early 00s (when my boys were little) and I've never even heard of a gel-blaster... the article caused me some confusion. Legal? Sort-of illegal? SOME are legal but not really? Register this one but not that one? Amnesty and surrender? Huh?uh huh...exactly- have to read all the way to the bottom of the sensationalist article:
"
SA Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that 'Nerf Blasters are toys and there is no requirement to register any model of nerf blaster'.
'During the 6 month gel blaster amnesty 3882 gel blaster firearms were surrendered. No nerf blasters were surrendered as there was no requirement to do so,' a SA Police spokesperson said.
So nothing to see here.....
You're not going to believe this, but per Lego enthusiasts, the plural of Lego is Lego. No idea why.
April 1st anyone?Some Nerf guns now required to be registered in South Australia. Yes, you read that correctly.
Nerf guns will now be registered as FIREARMS in one Australian state
Nerf guns will now be registered as firearms in South Australia after enthusiasts discovered some models of the popular toy operates identically to the prohibited gel blasters.www.dailymail.co.uk
"A popular children's toy has been exposed as a hidden firearm after some models may now be registered as weapons in one Australian state.
Nerf guns will now be registered as firearms in South Australia after enthusiasts discovered that certain designs of the child-friendly toy operate identically to prohibited gel blasters.
The gel blasters - toy guns that generally shoot a super-absorbent polymer as bullets - are considered a 'regulated imitation firearm' under the South Australian Firearms Act. "
Please don't tell any Oregon Legislators.
...gel blasters...
I don't want Fop goddammit, I'm a Dapper Dan man!
