Snake-Foam was not on any of my bingo cards this year.
I think that, if you had “Samuel L Jackson”, you are allowed half a point for “Snake-Foam”.
Trust the Liberal Party to be hosting large events during the pandemic.

Doing some back-of-envelope math, an Australian “risk of death is low” translates roughly to a US “run faster than the people around you and you might make it.”
Or an unsuccessful Iron Chef dish.

Hazel the dog is very much “What?”

Lots of band name ideas here.
