Of all the things you've seen on The Simpsons over the years, which is the one you'd most like to see in real life? Professor Frink's embigulator, the escalator to nowhere, or maybe a door-to-door doorbell service?
For me, it would have to be the Australian Prime Minister floating on an inner-tube in a dam, drinking a can of beer.
In fact I'd *pay* to see that...

If you had a time machine and went back 40-odd years, it probably wouldn't be that far fetched...
I'll never forget an incident with Gough Whitlam, and some drunken farmers at the Shutzenfest near Adelaide back around 1974. Jesus... even as a 9 year old I was embarrassed.
The monorail, the robots out of control at Itchy and Scratchy land.
And if you had a toaster, you could turn it into a time machine. C'mon, the subject of this discussion thread is "if only ...".
If it is a bootable offense to disparage the boot, what happens if you disparage the ex-Prime Minister?

Well, in Gough Whitlam's case, he proposed to kick out all the U.S bases in Australia... you can guess what happened next. Yep - the only Australian Prime Minister in history to have been booted (or 'dismissed').
Depends which one...
Then there was Bob Hawke of course, always good for an alcohol-induced quote. But I think he was sober in 1983, after Australia won the America's Cup [Dig, dig] yacht race. when he proclaimed "any boss who sacked a worker for being absent during the race, is a bum!!!" In case you can't guess, he was a Labour PM...
About the same as disparaging the current US president - nobody notices...

We did.
When someone comes to my home, soliciting funds for a philanthropy that advocates releasing the hounds, I would like to be able to release my hounds.

1. Jimmy Hoffa really being found buried in Giants' stadium. 2. A laundry soap from Japan that has a logo that looks like me! 3. My town picking up and moving five miles away. 4. Hamburger earmuffs. 5. Electricblanketmobile. 6. People pointing guns at me whenever I try to use my Sacajawea Silver dollars. 7. Jerry Springer dead. 8. Killer whale smuggling. I am so there, man! 9. The local phone book having a picture on the cover of me being toilet trained when I was an infant. 10. Flying into outer space with Buzz Aldrin, if that is his real name, and Brace Banyon! 11. Fox paying the proper royalties to the guys who copyrighted Johnny Quest, so they could have called that guy Race Bannon instead of Brace Banyon! 12. B-2 bombers flying over my town, searching for wild bears! 13. A new local tax to pay for #12! 14. SARCASM DETECTOR! If I could only choose one thing, this would be it. 15. An auto-dialer that sprouts legs and runs away when you input the proper code after you call it with your touch tone phone. 16. tomacco 17. Godzilla warning lights on commercial aircraft that fly to and from Japan. 18. Everyone from Asia sounds like George Takei when they talk!
Mr. Museum
Then why did you list it as number 14 and not 1 or 18?
Just curious.
