We *do* get a lot out here, you know. Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake, late
night infomercials for products it is impossible for us to buy hosted by
actors who once starred in sitcoms we never got out here, daily updates on
who or what Bill Clinton/Pamela Anderson/any given Friends castmember is
doing. You know, the good stuff. So of course we know about Lollapalooza.
Although our own local version, the Big Day Out (veterans include Hole,
Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Bjork, Offspring etc - and of course
Nirvana, right at the height of their fame!) has yet to fall prey to
corporate oversatiety like Lolla. seems to.

Tim having provided an absolutely wonderful definition, can I distract you
by
explaining the provinance of `chunder'? Chunder is a wonderfully
onomatopaeic word used by Austrailans to describe the fine art of vomiting,
developed, legend has it, when sailors got seasick and warned to people
below `Watchunder!' (kind of like `Fore!' really (: ) Millions more where
that came from.
Well, they played the same joke on us with Pajero (:
