So, Like, At the Start...
Seems an Aussie chap has recast part of the Bible into Strine, that is the particularly heavily idiomatic form of English they speak in Australia.
I am hoping a version in American teenage girl speak, you know a series of short choppy sentences, punctuated with "like," usually missing antecedants and constantly crescendoing until, "Well, that's my story."

It was promoted as a "ripping yarn about Jesus of Nazareth" in which Mary was "a pretty special sheila" and the Three Wise Men were "eggheads from out east."The possibilities here are endless.
