What is it with bloody rangas?!

I seem to unknowingly gravitate towards them from an early age.

I can pinpoint this unnatural gravitation to pivotal points in my childhood.

When Caveman and I were young, we were part of the Junior Eagles club. This involved many visits to their sponsor, Peters icecream factory.

My favourite player from those days was Guy McKenna. He is a ranga.

I also loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was little. In the days before girl power was used to sell records of halfarsed manufactured pop groups, my favourite TMNT character was mild mannered reporter, who always managed to get the scoop and almost die, April O'Neill.

We won't even mention a certain clown that sells hamburgers.

I had friends who were redheads, strawberry blondes, any kind of permutation of red hair that you could possibly conceive.

And now I'm going out with a ranga in denial (much like Eagles great now roller shutter spruiker Karl Langdon).

I'm also living with a ranga and friends with my ranga boyfriend's ranga friend who's obsessed with famous ranga Conan O'Brien...
