I saw a great Aussie mockumentary yesterday.
It's called Kenny, and it's the story of a Melbourne port-a-potty worker.
The director, Clayton Jacobson, describes Kenny as "the Dalai-Lama of Waste Management, eternally optimistic and always ready to put others before himself. Kenny represents the humbling nature of common decency."
It's a great movie and you won't be surprised to hear that it's filled with lots of toilet humour and lots of strine -- delightful Aussie slang. The version of the film I saw was, quite hysterically, subtitled.
Here's something I love about Aussies -- there isn't one of them that knows all the words to their national anthem. Seriously. They can all sing countless verses of Waltzing Matilda, but just ask them to recite all the words to Advance Australia Fair.
Tidbits for a Monday morning.
