You forgot "imho." ya BUM!!!

Even the boomerangs on the walls were fake, just for decoration. I
inspected them, being a professional boomerang thrower and they had no
leading and trailing edges. They were nothing more than painted sticks.

I don't know about you but I can't stand that much fake!

Outback sponsored a competition and used "tabletop" gas bbq grills. The
problem was that the steak "chunks" were seasoned with a spicy hot dry rub.
Might not have been a problem normally except it was 115° F. on the field.
At least we had our other sponsor Fosters (brewed in Canada) beer to wash
it down.
