hugh jackman can ride anything meme – a jumbo jet this time

17.12.10 hugh jackman can ride anything meme – a jumbo jet this time

ok i just had to get involved in the hugh jackman can ride anything meme.

the other day when oprah winfrey was in town filming her show at the opera house, hugh jackman was making his spectactuar entrance on a flying fox and he stuffed it up a bit. so the clever bunnies over at the blog cityrag, decided to have a bit of fun with it and thus, the hugh jackman can ride anything meme was born.

i decided to instead of getting him to straddle something, he can just set on the wing of a commercial jetliner.

as far as the eye injury goes, bugger that. it seems lucky that he didn’t end up with something worse – like something spinal judging by the the force of him getting thrown about like a rag doll.

in light of it turning out ok, hugh’s got to love this, it turns something a bit crappy into a lot of fun – helps boost his exposure as well, in a good way i am sure. i bet his osteopath and/or physiotherapist will get a few extra cheques in the mail as a result too.

nice to see him knocking back a glass of red as soon as they got him back to terra firma.

go hugh! you’re a trooper mate. angela bishop, sweetie, pet, darling, love – you do have a great job, but sorry, you really are a bogan.

come fly with me – richard simmons, oprah winfrey and qantas

3.8.09 come fly with me   richard simmons, oprah winfrey and qantas

yep, back at the airport again.

After waving hello/goodbye to the passengers in this plane preparing for take-off, I took this shot. I might come back here wearing fluoro leotards, headband and bedazzled tank-top a-la-nu-skool Richard Simmons and do this for them next time. It’s like something you would expect to see on the oprah winfrey show – you know, ‘big’ americans having fun and believing in themselves – “express the power winthin!”.

Just an idea.

I can’t believe how close you can get to the aircraft here. So much for tight security – it’s almost laughable.
