Bindi On The Dot

Saturday, Jan. 20, 2007 - 1:58 a.m.

The quote of the day took place at the interview session following Bindi Irwin's speech to the National Press Club on Friday:

Bindi also showed she could handle tricky questions just like the experienced politicians who had graced the NPC before her.

Frankie, an eight-year-old American boy sitting in the audience, asked her if he could one day work at Australia Zoo.

"Of course, we'll take you in if you love wildlife," Bindi replied.

Then came the toughest question of the day.

[NPC President Jerry] Zremski, who presented Bindi with a fluffy NPC Panda soft toy at the end of her speech, asked her: "You have been doing all of these interviews, how do reporters compare to poisonous snakes?

"OK, I don't want to offend anyone," Bindi answered. "I think I like poisonous snakes best."

So many people think she can't hold her own at such a young age.

I will never be in that demographic, myself. :-)

Goddammit.

I'm watching the rebroadcast of that speech over on CSPAN2 right now, and they've got the captions OFF.

I guess the universe thinks deaf people all go to bed once the sun sets or something.

An older Friday Five, because nobody has seen fit to post over on the Livejournal Site:

What is the one book that you reread over and over again?

I never get tired of Tom Sawyer, or A Girl Of The Limberlost.

What is your favourite genre?

I don't think I have one.

Do you usually buy your books or visit the library?

I purchase.

Who is your favourite author?

I don't think I could choose just one.

What book have you read that you absolutely hated?

That one's easy. Catcher In The Rye. I can't believe such a piece of shit book led to John Lennon's death.

Okay, the link is to the left, for all the good it will do you.

That's it.

Have a good Saturday, kids!
