ATTENTION ALL PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA-------------KURTVEDDER

Let me set the record straight. I want to get rid of any misconceptions you may have about Australians. Below are some misconceptions that I will clear up for you.

1) We do not put shrimps on the barbie, in fact we don't say shrimp we call them prawns.

2) Bathrooms are places to have a shower, not a toilet. If you do your business in my shower I will kick your butt.

3) Contrary to popular belief kangaroo pouches can not fit people in their puoches. They can however fit small kangaroos known as babies.

4) We do not drink Fosters, that stuff is disgusting. We drink XXXX or VB. We keep the good stuff and you get the lousy stuff, whose smarter now.

5) We do not all sound like the crocodile hunter. At breakfast time we don't say, "Crikey look at the size of this egg and bacon sanger (sandwhich for people who don't speak english)".

6) We do not think it is cute when you copy our accent's. If you say gday Moit put another shrimp on the bahbie we will probably tan your hides.

Date: 9/3/2004 4:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 47296    Fosters ain't all that bad, if you like running back and forth to the loo. Personally, I prefer a pint of bitter with a twist of lime.

Date: 9/3/2004 6:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 62753    If it makes you feel any better dear i live in SOuthern Texas, and people think I ride horses because I live so far south - well let me say this - I HAVE NEVER rode a horse, and never even petted one!

Date: 9/3/2004 10:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 62838    LMBO @ Eddo's comment hahahahaha... crikey nelly... well I'm an Aussie living in the USA and I think it's all in fun and friendship, nothing wrong with having a laugh sometimes at things like this... of course people overseas misunderstand things about us sometimes, but we often misunderstand things about their countries too, so who are we to talk? You know, personally I have many-a-time said "Crikey look at the size of this sanga!" and that's the honest truth, lol All in fun, not to worry - Kokoro
Date: 9/3/2004 11:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    I lust after your barramundi and white pointers..hehe..Write on Vedder

Date: 9/3/2004 1:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 7952    Sk8r.. boomerangs do come back if you know how to throw them Kurt i loved this post! As an Aussie living in the US i needed some reminders as my Aussie culture is slowly diminishing! Luckily i had an emergency jar of vegemite sent to me the other day (Thanks Ginger!!) and my nerves are calming down. Oh and btw, putting babies in kangas pouches is funnn!:P and you have to add that NO we do not all have Koalas in our backyard trees..  
Date: 9/3/2004 4:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 4144    LOL! sounds good to me! i have to admit i did say crikey yesterday. a snake got into my mom's laundry room and she wouldn't go near it so i had to go get it out. then the guys at work started calling me the croc hunter!! yea, right, it wasn't even a foot long. more like a big worm!  
Date: 9/3/2004 7:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 25756    LOL! Okay, okay! I'll be sure to remember :-D  
Date: 9/3/2004 8:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 62884    I'm an Aussie and I can safely say I've never used the terms 'Fair dinkum' or 'Crikey'. Well, not when sober anyway...
Date: 9/3/2004 8:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 62884    And VB and XXXX are horrible beers, anyway
