Big Things…
December 4, 2008
No, no..not big things…Big Things. And yes, there is a difference. What are Big Things? Big Things are all over the world, I’m sure…but there is one country/continent that has an abundance of Big Things..and that is Australia. Just look… they have a Big Koala, Big Peanut, Big Prawn, Big Ned Kelly, a Big Banana, and a Big Rock! Yes, a Big ROCK!
This is what a Big Rock looks like:
My favorite Big Thing that I have seen on the internet (in Australia) is this:
How awesome is that?! A Big Freakin’ Pineapple.
Anyway, the Big Things are not some new thing (or Thing, whatever). I have always wanted to see the Big Dinosaurs from Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure ever since I was a lil’ one..
(although I’m a little sad it went all Religious on us)
Also, there are few more Big Things in the United States:
(only picture I could find of the Big Ball of Yarn…)
And most importantly….the Big Thing that is basically in our backyard:
Anyway, that’s my new goal in life…to find a bunch of Big Things (especially in Australia) and to take a picture of with them like the tourist that I am (peace sign and all)…not very original, but I don’t care. I need something to take my mind off the fact that I will never find those sugar packets with the Monuments on them ever again (please tell me somebody remembers them).
Also, I would like to go on a search for unusual statues, such as this one:
But that’s a completely different post…

Ha! I forgot about you and your sugar packets. Yes, I know what they are I have even used them.

Lets not forget, Australia also has big beers. Fosters, Australian for beer. I think your pursuit of big things sounds fun. We should all have goals like that! I’ll let you know if I think of or see any big things on this side of the state.
