my only friday class lasts on an average about 10 minutes.

Today I'm off to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to watch my football team play off in an elimination final. 65,000 people are expected to attend, so it should be a great game.

 

Beforehand though, I'm off to the oldest pub in Melbourne, the Duke of Wellington, to catch up with a few people from another site I post on, for a few beers and lunch. 

 

 

 

You've been visiting another site?

 

 

 

Leave, now.

Yep.......... Gotta socialize with some of the natives (kangaroos) at some point ya know.

I just saw the Simpsons about Bart vs. Australia yesterday, and I thought of our own sweet DBAHO.

 

And how nice a beach in January would be. . .

are you all going to talk about the sox latest slump?

 

 

 

how come whenever i think australia, i always think of an english accent

I just saw the Simpsons about Bart vs. Australia yesterday, and I thought of our own sweet DBAHO.

 

And how nice a beach in January would be. . .

Yep just remember;

1) Mucus in pouches. Never seen it 1st - hand, and I'm not ever going to.

2) Big Fosters Cans. Only Mike (SS2K5) would drink one of those (and he'd love every bit of it).

3) Boomerang. The last time I threw one of those, my dog stole it and treated it like a bone.

4) Bootings. Never used. We prefer the Wooden Spoon Method.

 

And yes a beach in January is delightful, especially when you have say Fish and Chips there, and just relax all day doing nothing.

Are you any good at Knifey-Spooney though?

Excuse me I'm still an avid PHT poster (gotta live with the good and the bad people). And what slump, I don't see no slump.

 

Next time you think of Australia, don't think of Pommies (even though our country was founded by them). If it makes it any easier, just think of convicts instead.

Lol, exactly. Except I though the Australian accents were really bad. But I had a really strong urge to watch my toliet flush after that episode.

 

Mmmmmmm, beaches and fish and chips--I don't even like fish, but I think in other countries they put like heroin or something in them, because that is some good stuff. (Tries desparately to think of something else. . .)

Are you any good at Knifey-Spooney though?

wtf is that?

Let's just say I owned Jason at that at Angel Stadium quite a few times.

wtf is that?

"I see you HAVEN'T played Knifey Spooney before".

Where's Jim when you need him, I'm sure he'd go on and on about the wonderful seafood Australia has to offer. I suppose you've got to be into to it to enjoy it, I just love most types of seafood, especially fresh prawns and salmon. And you can cook it, batter it, etc., diff. ways to enjoy it.

 

And yes the Australian Accents in that episode were terrible, although I did love the Prime Minister's, while he's lazing away on the lake enjoy a Fosters.

Oh boy...

 

You have a lot to learn about the world, Soxy.

is it a real game?

Maybe, except the other person would probably hold a gun not a spoon. It's not really something say the kiddies would spend doing a lot of.

I think the reason I like the abroad fish and chips is because it doesn't taste like fish, but I'll take your word for it.

Hush you.

Stuff like that is what made the older Simpsons episodes great. Where else could you see stuff like that....

Oh. I think I would like trivial pursuit better.

When I think of Australia I think of:

 

An Aborigine (sic?) in a loin cloth telling me a bat tastes like chicken.

 

Paul Hogan spinning a weird thing on a rope over his head.

 

AC/DC

 

Lots of sand.

 

And people who could probably easily kick my ass...and everybody looks and sounds like Donk.

 

Yeah, music and Crocodile Dundee (both 1 and 2...but mainly 2) are all I think of. My wife REALLY wants to go their someday though. I usually say "but that's all the way on the other side of the world". It is though...ya know?

Yeah 15 hours on a flight from LA to Australia, wouldn't really recommend it. And what no Wiggles in your list (or is it Jim who loves them, I always get confused between you 2)?

No, no, I am The Wiggles fan. But I see them as more of a World Wide domination now, and gift.

 

AC/DC has gone back to being a local band.

 

Seriously, they just slipped my mind. But yeah, they definitley get the Aussie thing, especially since a second doesn't really go by that they aren't flying the countries flag during the show. Those guys REALLY love your land.

 

Oh heck, I also have to make mention to The Living End. Great band, and nice updating of Rockabilly they do. Plus, considering how hard it is to get Gretsch guitars in your land, and especially the White Falcon's, those guys deserve MASS kudos.

But all of you have forgotten the true gem of Australian culture:

Priscilla Queen of the Desert!!!!

 

To this day everytime I see Hugo Weaving I can only think of him in drag.
