I DON'T GET IT - AND THE POINT IS ?

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THIS LESSON



BUT WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS LESSON Australia -- land of sun, sand and ... surfing mice?

Australian Shane Willmott is training three mice, named Harry, Chopsticks and Bunsen, to surf small waves on tiny mouse-size surf boards at beaches on the country's Gold Coast. The mice are put through rigorous bathtub training and then some have their fur dyed when it is time to hit the beach.

"Usually if he is surfing big waves, I usually color his hair up. Because he's white, when he gets in the whitewash it's hard to find him," Willmott told Australian television.

Despite Willmott's training, Harry, Chopsticks and Bunsen -- who live in miniature custom-made villas and own specially made jet skis -- are proving no threat to world champion Kelly Slater just yet.

kelly slater was the bug-eyed schmuck with a constant constipated look on his face, who was the boyfriend to nicole eggert's character on baywatch in the early 90's. she had big cans and looked stupid running down the beach.

I see the point of the mice learning to surf, it's obvious; "It's cute!" And that's it. Not too terribly much substance to it.

Ah Abbas,
You have such a delicate way of putting things hahaha Thank You

Diamond made me curious, so I just looked him up. I had no idea that he was a, Dah, famous surfer.

Still don't see the point tho, unless he needs some company out on the waves. lol

heh i own the widescreen director's cut edition of tango and cash. truly a classic stallone flick. and kurt russel. what can i say. i guess i'll just say 'big trouble in little china' and leave it at that.

well maybe i'll also add one of the best b-grade movies ever made with maybe three entire words spoken in the whole film, namely 'soldier'. two of the words were "kill him!" the rest of the film is just mindless action.

You amaze me, a man after my own heart(don't worry I'm to old for you).Did you like them. I did. I never had heard of Soldier, my daughter had it, she hated it and gave it to me. I loved it. I loved all 3.

Yeah Kelly Slater is the king of surfing - like the Tony Hawk of skateboarding or the Babe Ruth of baseball...you get the idea.

The comment I made earlier was just that a few people said I look like him. I don't think so. (here is his photo http://frussurf.com/mundaka2003/fotos/frussurf_WCT11b.jpg) For starters he is bald and about 10-15 years older than me. I don't know, maybe I can see the eyes but other than that, I don't see how we have anything in common or look alike. However I would like to learn to surf.

The link got cut off for some reason. Sorry about that. You can find him on Google if you want to see who he is.

I don't see any resemblence at all and it has nothing to do with the hair either. Maybe who ever told you that saw some different pictures??? I'm going by your billboard sign and a pic I found of him.

Yeah I don't know, I've had 2 different people tell me that. They say it's the eyes and who knows what. Then again everyone always says someone looks like "so and so".
