How To Have Fun In Oz
Ah, pure Oz genius. Is this some sort of Ashes defeat escapism?
A COUPLE floating down Melbourne’s Yarra River on inflatable dolls have been rescued after getting into trouble.
Police say the 19-year-old couple had just passed Pound Bend Tunnel at Warrandyte North when the water became turbulent and the woman lost control of her grip on the doll about 4.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.
The woman grabbed hold of a tree that was floating in the river. The man stayed with her and they yelled for help, police say. A passer-by contacted triple zero and police and SES went to the scene. A kayaker took life jackets to the pair and the SES attended with a boat and rescued the pair. They were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention.
Police say the fate of the dolls is unknown.

This is how the Rosswell incident started.
That’s an interesting theory. I’d always put that down to a 31st century time-travelling Monty Python re-enactment group myself but I like the way you think.
Angry Exile has a bit more on this story:

“The incident prompted a warning from police that blow-up sex toys are “not recognised flotation devices”
Thunder stolen đ  Actually not really because one of the dolls has turned up, washed up a fair way downstream. Tragically police and the SES were too late to save her.
Many apologies AE – I hadn’t seen your great take on this story when I wrote about it here.Â
It’s absolutely classic though, isn’t it? Marvellous stuff….
You wouldn’t have seen it, mate. From the times you must have written yours first. And yes, it’s absolute fucking gold.
