Farcically yes, but then again I use a brush, and then again, only to
conceal from my own taste buds the results of the predelictions of
Queensland feedlot operators. Have been eating a little more wagyu
lately than recently (ate maybe 5 wagyu steaks between 1992-2004, and
about 5 a month since then).

Blind optimism of youth? Pffffffffffffft. Unless youth is defined as
anyone 353 days older than the Jason Cormiers of this world I plead
innocent. I'm a bit worried about the extra franchise in Perth, not so
much the force as the "Perth Snatchers" in my book, BUT (now here is
blind optimisim for ya), I hereby predict that at least one of the 4
strayan franchises will win at least one of the 2006-2009 titles, and
it won't be the brumbies. Waratahs will probably be at best runners up
this year though. Even so, go the Waratahs!
