Mission: Find Mel
Aussie Dave | Aug 10, 2006 | 21 comments
Today I am spending the day at my wife’s family’s beachouse in Malibu.
The beachouse happens to be 3 houses down from Mel Gibson’s.
My mission – besides to catch some waves – is to catch myself an anti-Semite. I have my iRiver handy, so hopefully I will get myself some good audio, and possibly a picture or two.*
Wish me Mel luck.
* This post is not a joke.
About the Author
An Australian immigrant to Israel, Aussie Dave has been blogging since early 2003.Filed Under: My Charmed Life
I am told he occasionally shows up at the Coffee Bean off the PCH.
Isn’t he in the Yiddisha Mamma re-hab centre?
I would lure him in with a bottle of tequilia
Nice and insensitive, Todd. Much better than hope he gets medical treatment and finds a way past antisemitism.
Better you should forget about Mel and organize a party to locate Olmert’s balls.
Isn’t it amazing the Jewish energy wasted on Mel Gibson while Olmert betrays Israel. Get your priorities straight!!
Get a sense if humor and don’t you dare question my priorities after I have spent the majority of my free time doing my best to inform people about what is going on in Israel (where you don’t even live, judging by your IP address)
I have a sense of humor, but it was you who said that “this post is not a joke”.
It’s not in the sense that I really am a few doors down from Mel, and wanted to see if I could catch him. As is my right to enjoy my holiday after working hard and blogging hard. Questioning my priorities vis-a-vis Israel while you sit pretty in Atlanta is chutzpah to the highest degree.
Dude! Numero uno: There are two different people who have posted as “anonymous” on this thread. I made the first and third comments, but not the second, and I am in Frisco. Secondo: Do whatever you want whenever you want, and take everything as personally as you want, but the plain fact of the matter is that today, at this very moment, Olmert is winding up to deliver the worst blow to Israel’s strategic standing since Oslo, if not ever. Some of us are thinking of that, and not of you or Mr. Gibson. But like I say, you do whatever you want today, though I would have expected a political blogger, and especially a right-leaning Jewish political blogger, to be a tad less delicate.
And I would have expected a commenter to be far less judgmental and obnoxious. So I guess we are both a bit surprised.
You’re off to stalk Mel Gibson and you call yourself an Australian…?
Sounds more like Hollywood to me.
In all honesty, I’m leaning towards blaming the drink on bringing out Mel’s id (honed by his anti-Semitic dad). Give him a chance at a bit of rehab; once he’s out of that, nobody’s going to forget the anti-Semitic comments, so he’ll need to imitate the Guvenator a bit. Remember Ahhnold’s dad was a Nazi – and Ahhnold’s turned that image around by buddying up with the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Perhaps Mel will wise up and do the same.
I’m just impressed you found a nice rich girl with a Malibu beach house
My wife is not rich. She just happens to have some wealthy family in the States, with whom we are staying.
What impresses me more is the fact that my wife’s parents moved to Israel and gave up the West Coast lifestyle to focus on the important things in life.
We are here on holiday – my brother-in-law is getting married here, and we are trying to enjoy ourselves. The thing is, my thoughts are constantly in Israel.
No, I was born in Australia, lived the first 26 years of my life there, and I call myself Australian.
I’m happy you get a chance to enjoy yourself for a time! Your amazing work on this website is much appreciated, especially in the last month. And I’m sorry to think so, but I imagine there’ll be plenty of misery still waiting for you when you return.
And if you do get any images of Mel, that would be the icing on the cake! wait, no, that’s not the right image, it should be… I dunno, the little button on those cheap kippot or something.
Hey Dave don’t listen to those obnoxious commentors although your comeback lines make me laugh which I could really use these days.
There is no reason wy you can’t write something light once in a while that’s what keeps us sane.
Well, it looks like Olmert is cut from the same cloth as you are Dave. Hasta la vista Israel. Enjoy the weddy.
At least I’m not cut from a poo-filled shmata like you seem to be.
Enjoy your last comment here. You’ve lost the priviledge and are now banned.
P.S Come live in Israel before you question my priorities.
