����In preparation for our trip to Oz this fall, I've been reading everything I can about Australia. I just found out that they practice the ancient Australian art of genital origami .:cough:. Down Under .:cough:.

����You can imagine my excitement.

����Practitioners of this ancient craft have been in Montreal this week for the Just for Laughs Festival. "Puppetry of the Penis" has been such a huge hit the run has been extended and the daughter and I will be in attendance on Wednesday night.

����I mean, what could be more fun than hanging out with mom for a night watching nekkid foreign men play with their wedding tackle?

����If ever an activity had "Mom And Me" written all over it, it would be Puppetry of the Penis, right?

����When I called the Place des Arts box office this morning to reserve tickets, the woman said her best friend had seen the show and loved it. She recommended we sit a ways back from the stage so we could get a good view of the jumbo screens.

����Jumbo screens.

����Oh my.

����Jumbo screens.

����Now that I've heard about this ancient craft, of course I have many questions. I'm hoping that my Aussie readers will help me get a handle on this, eh.

����Is genital origami something handed down from father to son or is it a routine part of the Australian school curriculum?

����Does it involve dress-up?

����Will we be seeing the equivalent of balloon animals? Will Australian fauna be involved? Let's face it, a snake would be fairly simple to do, but a kangaroo ... yep, I'm willing to pay good money to see THAT.

����Expect a complete review after the show.
