AMERICANS like Australians more than anyone else in the world.

C'mon Elvis, you know what a Sheila is, ya cheeky bugga ! You understand a lot of out terminologies !

Actually poor old Skippy (our kangaroos) are also eaten. You can buy kangaroo meat in our Supermarkets now. They actually have an annual cull of Roo's here. Theres some insane amount that they kill each year, but theres also an insane amount of them alive. I dont really agree with it, but its a Govt arranged thing. I think they culled 20 million last year. That makes for a lot of Roo Nutsack carry pouches and Roo steaks. Aborigines and old bushmen have been using those nutsacks as carry bags forever. With some of the big roos you could carry a farken bowling ball in one of them. They can fight
too. The big buggas will kick the shit out of you. I dont blame them at
all. Your'e not getting my nutsack without a fight !!

I like Australians because not only do they seem to be really friendly people, they are really cool people, as well. At least as far as I can tell.

That Kangaroo nutsack would make a great Christmas present for my mom! She'll think it's a really neat leather pouch, then I'll tell her what it really is.

Screw you too, at least we have great beer......

Canada has great beer? That's fucking funny.

The only decent beer available in Canadian liquor stores are imports from Australia and the U.K.

Would love to have visited by now, but the thought of being in a commercial plane for 12 hours is scary, private plane would be cool.....
Plus I hear they have alot of spiders you have to be aware of, that thought freaks me out.....
Hey Panamark, ever found a spider in your boot or something?

What the fuck is a beer store? Is that a Canadian thing?

Here in the U.S. we have liquor stores. They sell alcoholic beverages including beer. I've never heard of a place that sells only beer.

Its called "The Beer Store".......
I will provide proof soon.....

[Little Texan]

Beer store, liquor store...who gives a fuck what it's called. We call it both in Texas.

I was at an ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) bar in Manila one time and when the retired Australian fellas there found out me and the buddy I was with were American servicemen, we didn't spend a penny the rest of the night. The alcohol flowed freely that night. One of the best times I ever had.

We have got the most venomous and dangerous creatures in the world. Sydney has got the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. You dont want
to fuck with that one. Can kill you in five minutes. Ive found these in my pool. But they are usually dead and really obvious. Never had one in the house. We get a lot of "huntsman" or "wolf" spiders which are big hairy bastards, but are generally harmless. I used to pick them up as a kid and chase the girls with them (As I knew they were not really
venomous). But they still freak you out, as they get inside your car.
Ive had a few under the sun visor. When you pop the visor down theres this big hairy fucker sitting there. Its even more fun when they decided to drop from there down into your lap, while you are driving. Ive nearly stacked twice from that happening. You can imagine, you just want to stop the car and get the fuck out as soon as possible.

Ive had Black snakes in my yard. They can kill you. In fact all of our snakes are deadly. Lots of lizards too, but they are pretty cool. They dont worry you.

Heres some of the deadly things we have:
(Off the top of my head)

- Crocs
- Sharks
- Stonefish. If you stand on this fucker its lights out.
- Box Jellyfish (venom paralyses and kills)
- Blue Ringed Octopus. (See Box Jellyfish)
- Snakes (In particular the Taipan, most venomous snake on earth)
- Spiders (In particular the Sydney Funnel Web, most dangerous spider on earth
- Stinging Plants and Bushes. Yes we even have venomous plants !

I have seen all of the above in their natural habitat. (Im still here !!)
If you live in suburban Australia and dont visit the bush and beaches,
you would never see many of these creatures. But snakes and Spiders are a possibility, especially if you have bush around your suburb.

I've had 5 schoolmates from Australia...3 of them are really cool, total airheads, all of them...
one of them was a bit too arrogant and was pissed off if we smoked pot...
one of them was a complete idiot, he talked to me slowly as you talk to a retard, ok I know a little more english than his spanish friends...

But I guess there are idiots in every country...

As I said, those three guys have been really cool...

[Golden AWe]

Btw, I assume that Full Bug's point was that a store called "beer store" usually has a little better selection of foreign beers than a usual liquor store...

[Panamark]

We are not "idiot free" by any means. Just smack that fucker in the face that talks too slowly to you GA.

Not necessarily. We have both liquor, for ALL your alcoholic needs, and beer stores are just that, they carry only beer, and mostly Canadian brands. It depends on the province though, in Quebec you can buy beer at grocery stores, just like in most States.

I'm just surprised Bug didn't mention BC BUD!
