Stuart turned to Jen, “We should do something for Australia Day.”
Jen nodded. “We should go to a Walkabout. Don’t wear anything nice because Walkabouts are filth.”
“Australia Day?” I asked.
”Yeah,” Jen said. “January 26th. It’s the day that Australians come together and celebrate the slaughter and subjugation of the aborigines.”
“Oh! We have one of those too. We call it Columbus Day.”

Not that I think that anyone would be silly enough to steal my ramblings, but in case you may be thinking about it. . . the very act of my writing this means that I own the copyright. Really. Look it up.
So, please don't plagiarize. It just ain't cool. And what I say just isn't that interesting. Trust me. Most of my friends don't even read this.
That being said, I do subscribe to the T.S. Eliot philosophy of "Immature poets borrow, mature poets steal." There is a difference between Stealing and stealing. . . This is not to say that I am mature. If anything. . . I'm rambling aren't I? That's what I do. I ramble. So, yeah. I'll shut up now.
