Ok that kid’s pretty cute…but to the last 8 posts or so, I say, “AAARRHHHH…..I’m never going swimming in Australia!”
and a great way for all the little boys to learn cross dressing is good clean fun!
Jellyfish: giving little boys an excuse to wear pantyhose since 1879
okay that’s great but who wants to wear pantyhose in the water…?
awwwwwwwwww…. that’s little boy’s so cute!
Too bad his dad’s gonna kick his ass when he sees that picture!
That silky feeling of those sexy legs draws SHARKS!
Let’s see… I can either wear pantyhose as a precaution, or have my buddy piss all over me as a remedy. Henceforth, jellyfish shall be referred to as nature’s patron saint of shame and degredation.
I thought peeing on someone helps with the sting. It looks like you have to get peed on or look like an absolute idiot.
Not pee – meat tenderizer. Pee actually makes it worse.
So the pantyhose thing, thats hot. Its bad enough that some people have the guts to venture off of their potato chip covered couches and don skimpy clothing on the beach – now they’ll be frolicking like pre-trimspa anna nicoles in pantyhose. I loooove it!
It’s a good thing that water safety promotes transvestitism!
You know the perfect cure for jellyfish stings?
Stay out of the damn ocean and enjoy the pool! The ocean is just a dangerous place to be!
Even walking on the beach you see tons of dead jellyfish!

Never been stung by a jellyfish. However stepped on a sea urchin once. Hurt like a friggin son-of-a-beach.
cool, anhoni! i haven’t heard of this!
Can it stands a shark bite?
Peeing on it doesn’t help, lifeguards in Australia always carry a bottle of vinegar with them. That’s the first quick remedie. So kids, did you bring your pantyhose, sharkreppelent, vinegar and sunlotion? oh yeah and your toys, how silly of me..
it will also confuse your son
Hilarious comments! Love the blog!
GAZARD, IF YOU WERE NOT TEASING, IT CAN’T STAND A SHARK BITE EXCEPT FOR A TINY 10,000 MESH CHAIN MAIL SUIT……….. NICE HOSIES, ROSIE…….. WHOOPS, HE A BOY….

I don’t think you understand just how rare it is to be stung or bitten in australian waters.
I have lived in Australia my whole life and nothing like this has every happend to me or anybody i know, and we vist the beach nearly every week. So don’t let a few stories put you off because Australia is a beautiful country with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
