I didn't do it much
Dyslexia runs rampant!.. the quote says "didnt do IT much" a small but game changing 'IT', a refrence to pachinko, he didnt play it much.. as we're jumping to huge conclusions i could say he didnt play it much because he held down three jobs and cooked/cleaned/played with his son.

Firstly, I apologise on behalf of Australians who DONT support the sea sheppard or forrest gnomes. Whats the escalation Lucky?.. are the Japanese going to invade us with their customs officers?, perhaps we are upset because anyone eating whale isnt eating our Aussie Beef (largest export year to Japan was 2011 I believe) and a customs ship in southern waters could curtail the tactics of the Sea Sheppard, Abbott has previously cautioned against protesting about japanese whalers http://www.theage.com.au/environment/australia-tells-japan-stop-whaling-20100108-lyrv.html , and yes patrick, i have delt with forrest protesters in Pemberton Western Australia and they are very militant, jail time to promote a cause would'nt faze them.
