I don't think I even want to know what the grinder is used for.....

[Alpo]

To cut the bottom out of it. Don't you see all the little pieces of blue plastic down there?

 

So when you're done, you pick up the milk crate and toilet seat, and the poop stays on the ground.

Tupperware | First Party

The first Tupperware party in Australia was held by Mary Paton in her mother's home in Camberwell in 1961.

Mary's sister Ruth became the first Australian Demonstrator.

Craig and Mary Paton were living in California when Craig met Tupperware International President Hamer Wilson at a convention in the late '50s.

Twelve women attended the first ever Australian Tupperware party, held at Mary's mother's home in Camberwell. Among the number was Mary's sister Ruth, who went on to become the first Australian Demonstrator.

Normie Rowe - A popular recording star who served in Vietnam.

A celebrity among many of the young men of his age who faced the prospect of conscription, Rowe was among those called up for army service.

Norman J. Rowe, AM (b. 1947)

Normie Rowe began his popular singing career while a young teenager and gathered a youthful following. After producing his first record in 1965, he quickly rose to national fame, becoming Australia’s King of Pop in 1968. He had a number of big hits, including “It ain’t necessarily so”, and “Que sera sera”.

Rowe’s career was suddenly interrupted when he was called up to do National Service. The press followed his military service, but it was no substitute for the attention he had received as a touring and recording celebrity. He was duly sent to serve in Vietnam with A Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment.

In Vietnam he commanded an armoured personnel carrier, describing the work as, “out on the highway, protection for vehicle convoys and land-clearing teams … taking in infantry, and things like that”. Following his year’s active service he was released from the army.

After his discharge Rowe found it hard to take up his career where he had left off. Nevertheless, he gradually re-established himself in the entertainment industry and later moved into television, theatre, and recording. In 1987 he had an important role in the stage musical Les Misérables. He closely identifies himself with Vietnam veterans groups and actively supports them.

Rowe has said of his National Service days: “You can look at your life and say that wasn’t fair and that killed your career … or you can look back and take out of that segment of your life whatever was good. The best friends that I’ve got are Vietnam veterans.

My sons were on a fishing trip in the Northern Territory last year and there were some Aboriginal kids jumping off the pier and there was a croc around that size.  The kids would throw a big rock in and the croc would go after that and they'd jump in the other side and quickly clamber out. Sons said to a local that they couldn't believe what they were watching and got told that the kids do it all the time.
