Dingo: a free-ranging dog found mainly in Austrailia. (Wiki)
Infamous Dingo story: In 1980, Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering her missing daughter, nine-week-old Azaria. Three years into her life sentence, Lindy was released from prison when the child's jacket was discovered in a dingo den. Their story was later made into the movie "A Cry In The Dark" starring Meryl Streep.
Famous Dingo quote: "Maybe the dingo ate your baby." (Elaine from Seinfeld)
Complaint from husband as he rooted around the fridge one morning: "Where's my mango? Did you eat it?"
Snappy come back from sleep-deprived mother of one-year-old (delivered in an Austrailian accent): "Maybe the baby ate your mingo."
Ba-BAM! And for the record, I do not even like mangos. Ever dish out a tasty retort yourself?
I've heard the story, seen the movie. And being raised in the tropics mangoes are a summer must. Nothing like eating on in the ocean. My great grandfather equated eating mangoes to eating custard off a paint brush! :-D
ReplyDeleteI didn't know dingos ate babies. How awful!
ReplyDeleteIn grade school it was a habit for my friends and I to randomly blurt out "A dingo ate my baby!!" in the most ridiculous Australian accent we could pull off. I didn't actually see the movie until years later!
ReplyDeleteI thought of that quote from Seinfeld the second I read the word "dingo." I didn't even know what one looked like until your photo.
ReplyDeleteI remember that grisly news item. :(
