Happy Australia Day to all the Aussie baiters!!!

Lovin' all things Australian right now!! Especially, Tim Tams, AFL, BBQ's, lamb roast & vegemite... swinging on the clothes line, any excuse for fireworks, ANZAC diggers, political incorrectness... shaggin', sparrow's fart & pig's arse. Thongs, trackies, lovin' the under dog, fair go & havin' a dip... My ute and my cattle dog... Australia is a place where saying 'bloody' means you REALLY mean it & you'd do anything for a mate!

What are you doing for Australia Day and what do you love about being an Aussie?

Something for all the Aussies:

Quote:

Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomerrang Said he was havin' a few people 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 "Do you wanna Goanna?". She said "I'll go if Dingos".

So I said "Wattle we do about Nulla?"

He said "Nullabors me to tears, leave him at home."

We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge. And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sittin there tryin to Platypus!

Now, I don't like to speak Illawarra, but I was shocked, I mean how much can a Koala bear.

So I grabbed a beer, flashed me Wangarratta and went out and joined the party.

Pretty soon Ayers Rocks in and things really started jumpin'. 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 can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a cockatoo".

Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody. Fairdinkum, you've never seen a Coolabah maid. I grabbed a beer and said, "Thanks Warra - tah".

A couple of Queenslanders at the party, one smellin' pretty strongly of aftershave. One of 'em sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, "Ya know mate, Eureka Stockade!"

It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim. He said to Ina, "Do you want a have a dip in the Riverina?" She said "I haven't got my Kosciusko".

Well Bo says, "Come in starkers, Wattle Lake Eyre!" Ina says "What, without so much as a Thredbo?" Ah, Perisher thought! Has Eucumbine in yet?

Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket. Boomer says "Why doesn't Wombat?" "Yeah, and let Tenterfield".

He said I should have a bowl but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards. I said to Lyptus "Wanna game of Eucalyptus?" He said "There's no point mate, Darwins everytime."

Well Bill said he'd like a smoke. 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 'em on me." And it was a great joint too, Blue Mountains away and his Three Sisters.

Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said "Chuck us the Tally Hobart". He said "They're out on the Laun, Ceston, can you get em for us?" Burnie says "Its okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya"

Just then Alice Springs into action, starts to pack Billabong. And you wouldn't believe it, the bongs broken. I said "Lord Howe!"

"Hay-man" somebody says "Will a Didgeridoo?" I said "Hummmmm mummmm mummmmm mummmmm maybe it'll have ta."

I look in the corner and there's Bass sittin there, not getting into it, not getting out of it, I said "What, is Bass Strait or somthin?" Boomer says "As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop" I said "Ya jokin mate, a cop, I'm getting outta here, lets Goanna." She said "No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I dont wanna leave Jacardanda party on his own. Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on Toowoomba, he's already tried to Mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you Australiana!"

Roadtrippin' it with a car full of mates today to some random location where we plan to light up a BBQ, throw on some snags and crack open the beers.

And what do I love about being Aussie? Well, like Huntington said - what's not to love? I love our awesome landscapes though, and how there's so much to see and so much to do within them - everything from city lights to starlit country nights and sandy beaches.

It's pretty ace to be an Aussie Wink

Hehe, love the story you put up Black Dog. Laughing

Definitely is good to be Aussie...

Vegemite = yum yum. Several large jars are always securely packed in my suitcases whenever I travel overseas. Also a large supply of ANZAC biscuits too.

Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:57 pm

I am eating an ANZAC biscuit right now. Yum...

Spent the day in the pool with the clan. Floated on an inflatable thong (flip-flops for you weirdos), drank something with pineapple and enjoyed several snags and onions.

Then slept, went for a ride and enjoyed illegal fireworks. Great day and perfect weather.

Hi Nasty!

Happy OZ day to all you ex-con's.

Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 3:19 am

so BDO was awesome, although very hot dusty and windy inside flemington. was great to go to a decent concert without having to work and run security. MUSE rocked, lily allen was strangely impressive, the girl has talent, Dizzy Rascel was to hard to understand, i think he turned the tempo up higher than his album and tried to get his set done faster. only parts you could clearly understand where the choruses. I am now overly sunburnt. I still feel dustblown and my ears are ringing.

and for anyone who didn't go, trains ran ever 4 minutes all day from spencer street to flemington, and they were still so full that people were squashed against the windows. queues where extremely long everywhere, i couldn't even get a beer without waiting for 45minutes to get a prove of age wristband, and then another 45mins to get the beer... bugger that free water all day. getting on the piss today instead.

Hope everyone had a great day

Don't ever go to Wiki for Aussie slang information. It's mostly written by Americans who don't know their ass from their arse.

You need to be educated in the Australian language, which is still the mother tongue 'English'... Again, not the bastardised, watered down version for those simpletons across the pond... and no I am not talking about the Kiwi's.

http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html <-- Educate yourself for a more effective form of communication. We shorten everything by adding more letters when we speak.

@ Homicidal - You didn't know it was Australia Day until 11pm = South Australian. Wink

Billy... This is a Vegemite loving thread, so remove your offensive Marmite.

Although, I am partial to the new Vegemite, which has the dumbest name of all named dumb things...

Yes. Some adverting wanker with a ponytail thought it was a good idea. I call it Cheesymite, and therefore I proclaim it shall be named.

Nurse, I'm not bashing vegemite (ok then I am, really) but all I'm suggesting is can't all the mites live in harmony.. Confused

Equal rights for all lovers of any 'Mite'. I agree, based on your ability to use the English language correctly. Laughing
