hey , do not get me wrong , but it just seems that you guys get what we really do not think is the greatest.........

Great things about oz-
VB/tooheys/wine
Our music scene
Kylie and her bum
me (how could I resist)
the lifestyle and weather
the space
our freedom and relative safety


I unfortunatley went to highschool with quite a few of the boys and girls from heartbreak high........ life imitating art and all that.
Posted by t.m., 22:01, 25th April 2003:
 
Oh and twisties!
Posted by chandler, 22:31, 25th April 2003:
 
we have relative saftey too though. and no badass spiders or snakes!

but the space would be a definate bonus.
Posted by t.m., 22:32, 25th April 2003:
 
I killed two redbacks (badass spiders - but not the worst) today. And when I was done I did not feel the need to shout 'Crikey'!!!
Posted by chandler, 22:44, 25th April 2003:
 
see i can go for days without killing any badass spiders. but then it rains a lot here.
so there are negatives and pluses to both locations
Posted by ilovebeerme, 00:21, 26th April 2003:
 
Crikey!!
Posted by Redmaiden, 00:46, 26th April 2003:

We do seem to be very stereo typical, but then again Vic did say come from, so we couldn't exactly include the weather or the freedom or the safety

I love that film!! (and I like Abba too)
Posted by Victor Menendez, 18:47, 28th April 2003:
 
i think that film is on the wrong list.

(i also like ABBA)
Posted by beargod, 19:42, 28th April 2003:
 
But ABBA is not Australian and they are also the biggest gay icons after Village people but apart from that they are ok
Posted by Victor Menendez, 19:45, 28th April 2003:
 
even gayer than big gay al?

or a tree full of monkeys on helium?
Posted by beargod, 19:46, 28th April 2003:
 
They are not Gay Icons, they are just gay
Posted by Victor Menendez, 20:30, 28th April 2003:
 
ok smartypants, what about liberace? or chay?
Posted by beargod, 20:48, 28th April 2003:
 
well ok chay maybe, but i have never heard of liberace
Posted by chandler, 21:33, 28th April 2003:
 
meiow
Posted by Redmaiden, 21:55, 28th April 2003:
 
I have proof that Chay is not gay (but I'm not sharing it with you)
Posted by chandler, 21:57, 28th April 2003:
 
hahahahaa. well that doesnt leave much to their imagination does it!
Posted by Victor Menendez, 22:00, 28th April 2003:
 
im only kidding loverboy.
Posted by beargod, 22:10, 28th April 2003:
 
I'm not I have proof he is,

damn it I don't I was just trying to be cool,

Anyway who said anything about Chay being gay, there is no mention of it anywhere I was talking about gay Icons
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:17, 28th April 2003:
 
I don't think Chay is a gay icon, you need to be camp or gay to be one really
Posted by beargod, 22:22, 28th April 2003:
 
ABBA weren't gay or camp and neither were 4 out 5 of the village people, the village people just dressed up like it so that is your theory out the window
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:27, 28th April 2003:
 
Abba look rather camp now
Posted by beargod, 22:46, 28th April 2003:
 
How can women look camp? I don't understand
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:54, 28th April 2003:
 
have you seen their outfits?
Posted by chandler, 22:54, 28th April 2003:
 
which was the gay village person then Simon?
Posted by reitsma, 23:22, 28th April 2003:
 
yay for me! i'm australian!

two of the best things about australia are it's multiculturalism - which results in:
a more interesting scenery of people
better looking kids (in my opinion, half-breeds make really attractive people)
fantastic food

and our weather. the beach is awesome in summer, and the snowfields are reasonable in winter. What's more, they are less than 6 hours apart.
