Fark.com sez: Twenty percent chance that Australia will become a U.S. state.

Fair suck of the sav, what’s with all these septics coming the raw prawn with Oz? I think culture is wasted on these drongoes.

Kinoath mate. Kinoath.

Drongos the lot of 'em. Too many kangaroos running round in the top paddock if you ask me. They even like that Crocodile Hunter wombat.

It leaves a taste in your mouth like a soggy Chiko Roll.

And to make matters worse, they don’t even know when an over’s over, or that you can be out and not out at the same time. And when you’re in, it can be over before you know it’s over, even though you never faced an over.

Bloody drongos.

Righto you lot. Go easy on the Seppos. They wouldn’t know wot kultcha was if it hit ‘em across the date with a lump o’ four b’ two.

Brrrp.
USA eight wickets for 83… :slight_smile:

8 for 83? They got THAT far? Five slips and a gully should fix that right up. Then they can follow on like you’d expect.

Yep lets go easy on the Seppos even if they have been bowled for a duck. Strewth, we wouldnt want the shirtlifters cracking a wobbly and spitting the dummy on us!

Well, they don’t even wear thongs in the right place. What do you expect? So what if their sheilas have seen a cockatoo? Thongs go on your feet… you Mongs!

A Jason Recliner would be lost on 'em. Let alone an esky full of Bundy.

Yair, 8 for 83 was a bit charitable of me. I’ll do a U-ey on that quicker than a Valo ute drivin’ past the Boggabri B&S, and say their entire team probably wouldn’t have even found their way to the 'gabba, probably still working out why the chemist won’t flog 'em any durries or plonk, the galahs.

:confused:

Two bob says that strine is hard yakka for the average septic. Whatya reckon? Fair dinkum I reckon most of the dropkicks dont know if they’re Arthur or Martha even if some of them are good sorts that I reckon would go like the proverbial.

Anyway two bob says they got Buckleys.

A Jason recliner is lost on me :slight_smile:

Hey Goo, don’t hang shit on the Jase. :smiley:

WTF is a Jase ?

Ahhhh…the Boggabri B & S Ball, and later in the back of the Vally ute. Such fond memories.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Ahhh… nothing quite like a bird who bangs like a dunny door in a hurricane!

'would rather hang out of that than a gum tree …

Nice going you lot, this thread has put back Aust/US relations by a decade. :smiley:

[whistle]
Here 'merkins, nice 'merkins … we were only kidding about the emus kicking your dunny down.

Just go and order our American friends some schooners and a buy 'em a winning ticket in a meat tray. The filly behind the bar pulling Toohey’s accepts EFTPOS. Get the seppos to nibble on some of Nobby’s nuts. Or better yet, shout 'em a juicy Four 'N Twenty with oodles of sauce. No worries mate. No worries! :smiley:

So, ummm, is there a one dayer on? Or is it the 5 dayer in Cairns? And howzabout this weekend? Two tests in two days!

As a point of order, won’t the game of long legs, long hops and long handles last less than eight sessions.

As to the tests well the all blacks are going to wallop the wallabies and the kangaroos are going to flog the warriors. Personally am more enthused about some of the games of footie.

Actually, New York state has fallen quite far behind over the last couple decades, due to people fleeing the “Rust Belt” and the population explosion in the South, West, and certain Third World nations:

US States by Population Rank [ source: Fact Monster ]

So you guys just barely squeak into the top five. :wink:

AUSTRALIANA by Austen Tayshus,
an Australian song.
lyrics from -

http://www.austentayshus.com/australiana.html

SITTING AT HOME LAST SUNDAY MORNING ME MATE BOOMERANG, SAID HE WAS HAVING A FEW FRIENDS AROUND FOR A BARBIE, SAID HE MIGHT KOOKABURRA OR TWO, I SAID SOUNDS GREAT WILL WALLABY THERE, HE SAID YEAH AND VEGEMITE COME TOO.
SO I SAID TO THE WIFE YOU WANNA GOANNA, SHE SAID I’LL GO IF DINGOES. I SAID TO BOOMER WATTLE WE DO ABOUT NULLA, HE SAID NULLABORS ME TO TEARS LEAVE HIM AT HOME.
WE GET TO THE PARTY AT ABOUT TWO, WALK STRAIGHT OUT TO THE KITCHEN TO PUT SOME BOOZE IN THE FRIDGE AND YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE IT, THERE’S BOOMER’S WIFE WARRA SITTING THERE TRYING TO PLATYPUS, NOW I DON’T LIKE TO SPEAK ILLAWARRA, BUT I MEAN HOW MUCH CAN A KOALA BEAR? SO I GRABBED A BEER FLASHED ME WANGARATTA AND HEADED OUT TO JOIN THE PARTY.
JUST THEN AYERS ROCKS IN AND THINGS START HAPPENING. THIS INDIAN GIRL MARSU TURNS UP DYING TO GO TO THE TOILET, BUT SHE COULDN’T FIND IT I SAID TO ME MATE AL, HEY WHERE CAN MARSUPIAL? HE SAID SHE COULD GO OUTBACK WITH THE FELLAS “SHE’S PROBABLY SEEN A COCKATOO”.
A COUPLE OF QUEENSLAND AT THE GIG ONE SMELLING PRETTY HEAVILY OF AFTERSHAVE, HE SAT DOWN NEXT TO ME, I SAID YOU KNOW MATE EUREKA STOCKADE.
IT WAS A BLOODY HOT DAY AND OSCAR FELT LIKE A SWIM, HE SAID TO ENA YOU WANNA HAVE A DIP IN THE RIVERINA, SHE SAID I HAVEN’T GOT MY KOSCIUSKO, BO SAID COME IN STARKERS WATTLE LAKE EYRE, ENA SAID WHAT! WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A THREDBO, PERISHER THOUGHT HAS EUCUMBENE IN YET MAYBE I COULD BORROW HERS.
A FEW BLOKES DECIDED TO PLAY CRICKET, I SAID LET WOMBAT AND TENTERFIELD AND THEY SAID I SHOULD BOWL BUT I WAS TOO OUT OF IT TO PLAY CRICKET SO I SUGGESTED A GAME OF CARDS. I SAID TO LYPTUS YOU WANNA GAME OF EUCALYPTUS, HE SAID THERE’S NO POINT MATE DARWINS EVERY TIME.
BILL SAID HE’D LIKE A SMOKE, BUT NOBODY KNEW WHERE THE DOPE WAS STASHED, I SAID I THINK MERINOS, BUT I WAS JUST SPINNING A BIT OF A YARN. BARRY PULLS A JOINT OUT OF HIS POCKET, BILL SAYS GREAT BARRIER REEFER, WHAT IS IT MATE? NOOSA HEADS OF COURSE, ME MATE ADELAIDE IT ON ME. I SAID “CHUCK US THE TALLY HOBART, THEY’RE OUT ON THE LAUNCESTON, CAN YOU GET THEM FOR ME?” BURNIE SAYS “SHE’S APPLES I’LL GET THEM FOR YOU”. IT WAS A GREAT JOINT TOO, BLUE MOUNTAINS AWAY AND HIS THREE SISTERS.
JUST THEN ALICE SPRINGS INTO ACTION AND STARTS TO PACK BILLABONG, BUT YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE IT THE BONG’S BROKEN I SAID “LORD HOWE’. HAYMAN!”
SOMEONE SHOUTS: WILL A DIDJERIDOO? I SAID WELL, ‘MMMMMMMAYBE IT’LL HAVE TO.’
I LOOK IN THE CORNER AND THERE’S BASS SITTING THERE NOT GETTING INTO IT, NOT GETTING OUT OF IT. I SAID “WHAT IS BASS STRAIT OR SOMETHING?” BOOMER SAID “NO WAY MATEY HE’S A COPPER.” “YOU’RE JOKING MATE A COPPER I’M GETTING OUTA HERE LET’S GOANNA.” SHE SAID ’NO WAY’! I’M HANGING AROUND ‘TILL GUM LEAVES, BESIDES I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE JACARANDA PARTY ON HIS OWN, I THINK HE’S TRYING TO CRACK ON TOWOOMBA, HE’S ALREADY TRIED TO MOUNT ISA AND HE’LL DEFINITELY TRY TO LEAD YOU AUSTRALIANA."

I hate our flag. It’s boring and doesn’t mean anything. But there’s a lot more to get excited about than a flag. I’d vote to change it if a viable alternative came along, but wouldn’t rush to it if not.

Not that I’d like Australia to descend into the flag-worshipping frenzy America seems to get caught up in.

Sorry - just thought I’d bring a less stereotypically Ozzie perspective in.
