I just saw that Adrian joined this group on facebook... "You know your Australian when...", so I had to look at it. I had to laugh at some of it

1. You know that “stubbies” are either short shorts or small beer bottles, a “gimp”, “bogan” or “geezer” is a random idiot, someone in trouble is in “strife” and you’re liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans “rooting” for something.
Why do you guys laugh at us rooting for something =|

2. You know that Burger King doesn’t exist. It’s Hungry Jacks.
Lol, hungry jacks sounds like some old highway diner

3. You know that snow is a memorable and freakish occurrence. Sometimes it’s even fake.
Same goes for Louisiana.

4. You know the difference between thongs and a G-string.
I dont even know what a G-string is

5. You’re familiar with Neighbours, Home and Away, Playschool, A Country Practice, Norman Gunston, Barry Humphries, Blue Heelers, Ray Martin, Bert Newton, Lisa McCune, Jon Burgess, Number 96, Molly Meldrum, Kerry O’Brien, and of course, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch.
....what

4. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto etc.
Ive heard combo, lezzo, and righto

5. You know that some ppl pronounce Australia like “Strayla” and that’s ok.
I usually just say Aussie. But now I dont think I will be saying that anymore.

6. You know that there is a universal place called “woop woop” located in the middle of nowhere… no matter where you actually are.
Whaa

7. You know that while we call our friends ‘mates’, we don’t use terms like ’sheila’ and ’shrimp on the barbie’, contrary to popular belief.
Kish uses mate all the time. Dont know who sheila is, and i knew about the shrimp on the barbie thing

8. You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like shit. But we let the world think we do. Because we can.
You know that none of us actually think Australians drink Fosters beer, because Aussies are silly. But we let them think that we do. Because we can.

9. You’ve seen Gallipoli, Crocodile Dundee, Young Einstein, Muriel’s Wedding, The Castle, Beneath Clouds, Strictly Ballroom, 40,000 Horsemen, and maybe even WolfCreek.
Ive only even heard of one of those movies

10. It makes you happy when someone in Hollywood is actually Australian… Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrman, Elle MacPherson, Olivia Newton-John, Midnight Oil, ACDC, INXS, Greg Norman, Cathy Freeman, Dawn Fraser, Pat Rafter, Ian Thorpe…
Ive heard of like... two of those.. but I never pay attention to actors anyway. probably just me.

11. One word: Skippy.
!??!!

12. You know that Sydney 2000 was one of our proudest moments in history. We just fucking rock.
Just going to ask; what happened in 2000

13. You know that you are not going to die of cholera or other Third World diseases (remote Aboriginal communities are a different matter)
This statement is irrelevant to my interests

14. You know our country has never been conquered by a foreign nation (you don’t count 1788).
10 points for aussieland

15. We know that the Metric system will always be better than anything inches, feet, pounds and fahrenheit will ever offer.
PSHH, you wish

16. You drive on the left-hand side of the road.
Ok. that is pretty cool.

17. If you’re a pedestrian and cars are stopped at a red light, you will fearlessly cross the street in front of them. ‘Hit and runs’ just aren’t cricket. Because Aussies stick together.
...."just aren't cricket"

18. You know that New Zealanders are basically our naive country cousins, who have a weird fush-and-chups accent and, for some bizare reason, think that they invented pavlova. They are to be pitied. They have no hope of gaining the upper hand in the endless sporting rivalry between our two nations.
Interestingggggg

19. You know that you can’t eat Fantales alone… Otherwise who will you play the ‘Who am I…’ game with when you’re reading the wrapper?
I dont even know what a Fantale is

20. You know that Sydney should be the capital, because Canberra is a hole.
Well, Sydney is more known, in my opinion.

21. You know that Americans think we’re all Steve Irwin clones. And crickey, they couldn’t be more wrong.
Lol, i've never even heard that one before. Silly aussies.

22. You know that lawyers wear wigs and gowns. And we make it look good.
...I see

23. You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.
Lost

24. You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread… and actually grow to like it. You’ve also squeeze Vegemite through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms.
Ive always wanted to try that stuff...

25. You believe that democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of good ol’ Johnny Howard.
No idea who that is or what that means

26. You have the ability to compress several words into one - ie ‘g’day’ and ‘d’reckn?’. This allows more space for profanities.
I like to say g'day

27. You’ve ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place ‘bloody’ in front of it when you REALLY mean it.
HA Kish totally does that. He uses sick, sweet, and bloody all the time

28. You know that the barbeque is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the salad.
I suppose this is where "shrimp on the barbie" originated.....

29. You say ‘no worries’ quite often, whether you realise it or not.
I think Ive heard kish, jando, and adrian say that at least once

30. You know what fairy bread tastes like, and you can’t imagine your childhood without it.
Never heard of it

31. You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still don’t know what “girt” means. And you’re ok with that.
IRRELEVANT

32. You’ve drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
A.....what.....

33. You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the ‘one bounce, one hand’ rule always applies.
WHAT IS UP WITH YOU GUYS AND CRICKETS

34. You know that we are home to the just about all of the world’s deadliest of animals. That’s why if anybody messes with us we’ll get some funnel webs on their asses.
I thought south america had it worse. I dont remember which was first when it came to most deadliest animals

35. You see people walking bare-foot on the sidewalk and don’t scorn…. because you’re doing it too.
That would hurt me D:

36. You know that in summer a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron.
We get that in Louisiana too... or pretty much wherever the car is left out in the sun for a while

36. You know what trop-fest is and it makes you happy.
No idea

37. Sausage rolls and meat pies. End of story.
...those are pretty good

38. You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok and have offered advice that included the words, “she’ll be right, mate”.

39. You have a story that somehow involves an excessive consumption of booze… but you can’t remember.
AHHHHH how many times has Kish done this....

40. You own a Bond’s chesty. In several different colours.
What in the world is that.

41. You’ve ordered a steak the size as your head and only paid $5 at your local RSL.
Dayum.

42. You know that Italy should never have been granted that fateful kick in the 2006 Soccer World Cup.
Irrelevanceeeee

43. You know how to slip, slop, slap like it’s nobody’s business.
?!

44. You’ve heard the Prime Minister dismiss anyone who disagrees with him simply as ‘un-Australian’, and that’s enough to make us sit down and shut up.
Hah, when our president would say something like being un-american, a lot of us wouldnt care. Most of us take being a free country for granted

45. You know that the value of a public holiday is measured in terms of alchohol. God bless the queen and her 4-day birthday.
Again, hah, Kish.

46. You refer to someone you like as “a total bastard”, but call someone you don’t like “a bit of a bastard”.
I think ive heard one of you guys say this

47. You know there’s no lbw in backyard cricket, and over the fence is out.
Again with the crickets

48. You know Drop Bears exist. Positively.
A wha

49. You know you that roo meat tastes pretty good, but not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.
Wait, you EAT kangaroos?

50.You know Australia IS the best bloody place on earth. Bar none.
Cant argue. Always wanted to go there

You always associate me with drinking...
I DON'T EVEN DRINK THAT MUCH D;
At least that's what mum thinks..

And snow for us is like cum out of a mountain; pure, rich and fertile.

And yes, after riding them to and fro from school everyday, we get hungry o-o



Things To Do in Public Rest Rooms
~Stick your open palm under the stall wall and ask your neighbor, "May I borrow a highlighter?"

~Say, "Uh Oh, I knew I shouldn't have put my lips on that"

~Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise....

~Say. "Damn, this water's cold."

~Drop a marble and say, "Oh Shit! My Glass Eye!"

~Say, "Hmmmm, I've never seen that color before."

~Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a height of 6 feet. Sigh Relaxingly.

~Say, "Now how did that get there?"

~Say, "Humus. Reminds me of humus."

~Fill up a squirt bottle with mountain Dew. Squirt it erractically under the stall walls of your neightbors while yelling...."Whoa! Easy Boy!"

~Say, "Interesting....more floaters than sinkers."

~Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall wall of your neighbor. Then say, "Whoops, could you kick that back over here please?"

~Say, "C'mon Mr. Happy! Don't Fall asleep on me."

~Fill a balloon with creamed corn. Rush into the stall with your hand over your mouth and let out a lengthy vomit impression while you squeeze the balloon and splatter cream corn all about. Apologize profusely and blame it on the fettuccine alfredo you had for breakfast.

~Say, "Boy, that sure looks like a maggot."

~Say, "Damn, I knew that drain hole was a little too small. Now what am I gonna do?"

~Play a well known drum cadence over and over again on your butt cheeks.

~Before you unroll toilet paper, conspicuously lay down you "Cross-Dressers Anonymous" newsletter on the floor visible to the adjacent stall

~Lower a small mirror underneath the stall wall, adjust it so you can see your neighbor and say. "Peek-a-boo!"

~Drop a D-Cup Bra on the floor under that stall wall and sing "Born Free"
