In Australia porn is generally legal, but depending on the type of porn, and the nature of the products sale is restricted in most states. The ACT (and Northern territory) have a thriving mail-order industry sellign it to every other state/

Fireworks are mostly legislated out of home use everywhere however our laws let them be sold here, (but you can’t legally let them off) 😉

Hahaha …
croc hunting is illegal. I can see you don’t live in NT Jamie.
What the law says and what reality is are two different things.

Nobody shoots crocs up north like nobody shoots roos down south. Crocs are controled legally too, but you’re not allowed to shoot them… you have to trap them first, then you can shoot them for it to be legal.
(I’ll avoid the jokes about what they use for bait)

Illegal Drugs… nobody uses them either.
Kids.. don’t do drugs.. there is a time and a place for everything.. it’s called University.

The federal government determines what rating material gets. Each state has a different level of handing it.. like in NSW, it has to be in a sealed plastic bag if on sale in a place where minors can get access. Fireworks you can get a permit for, but most people don’t bother.
Any fireworks you can buy here are big time lame compared to what you can get at “Pedro’s – South of the Boarder” (South Carolina) or Tijuana Cherry Bombs, M-80’s YEAH !!!
Australia has become just one big police state.
I like the good old days when the burns unit got new arrivals every june.
Kids learnt to respect fire by getting burnt.
Pain is the best way to remember something.

A Canberra is also a plane .. A Bomber actually.
Not many of them flying anymore.

The Bird Eating Spider is one of Australia’s largest spiders. It is also known as the Barking Spider or Whistling Spider. The barking or whistling sound is a warning when the spider is disturbed and is made by rubbing their palps with their fangs. Selenocosmia crassipes is its Latin name, and it is closely related to the Barking Spiders of South America.

Oh there are ‘bird spiders’ that live in Queensland. They’re big, but they don’t catch birds. They are related to the ones in S-Am

Tasmania … The people there seem to have the same genome as people from Kentucky. Exactly the same.. all off them ! 🙂

The best thing about Australia is despite being bubble wrapped … there are still sooo many ways to die !

Deadly- Spiders, Snakes, Centipedes, Octapus, Jelly Fish, and that isn’t even our cute and cuddly stuff..
People forget what Kangaroos are capable of doing, they are seriously dangerous animals if pissed off. Koala’s … If you ever see a wild one being captured, they loose their fluffy apeal very quickly !
Wombats… we’ll they aren’t on list of danergous animals, but if you’ve every tried to
catch one… well, I understand why farmers would prefer to shoot them.
Take a Wombat, shrink him down a bit, give him bigger teeth, inject him with horse steroids, then finally a big trip of LSD … you now have a Tassie Devil.
But put a wombat on the freeway…. wombat meets truck …. there are no winners.

For those who don’t know what they are … think of the biggest brown tree cricket you have seen,
then tripple it. They have big jaws and they use them !
YOOOWWWIE !!!
Often you will find on in your shoe if you don’t check them first.
And their just the small ones. NZ has the largest insect in the world. The Giant cave Weta.
Thankfully they do not have the mean attitude of their smaller cousins, and are too big to hide in your shoes.

although in sufers paradise, there was one every few blocks…

and fireworks being illegal sucks. although, its not like you cant set them off anyway. i thought you could get a licence for them though?

[z-beam]

its not so much the licenses that prohibits 18+ y.o’s it the costs, a mate spent $500 on the last stash. filled up the kingswood boot tho!

did you see the big shooty ones they used in the redfern riot recently? those cost $80 for the launching tube (reusable) and $15 a shot.

see i told ya you guys are fucked 🙂

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A plague of locusts has engulfed towns in Australia’s Outback, devastating crops just as farmers had begun recovering from a two-year drought.

The bugs started breeding in northeastern Australia after it was swamped by heavy rainfall late last month, and quickly migrated south to feed on newly planted crops of oats and alfalfa, agriculture officials said Tuesday.

“A thick haze of them came through over the weekend and chomped their way through our oats crop overnight,” said Bev Dennis from her farm in Tomingley, 340 miles west of Sydney.

The oats were intended for lambs, which have struggled for two years with little green grass to eat as vast tracts of Australia experienced their lowest levels of rainfall in a century.

“We were just staggering out of the drought — we are incredibly frustrated,” Dennis said. “I just kept on thinking it’s got to get better, but now we’ve got this.”

Agriculture officials have started spraying regions in southwest Queensland and northern New South Wales states with insecticide in an effort to stop the further spread of the plague, but they warn it could get much worse.

“Given the fact that adult locusts can migrate long distances — sometimes more than 310 miles in a night — the potential exists over the next few weeks for plague locusts to move into new areas,” Agriculture Minister Warren Truss said.

Dennis said the locusts had cost them “tens of thousands of dollars” in lost income.

“If only we could chocolate coat them and send them off somewhere to sell,” she said.

who do i gota cap to get a jar of that crap?

[betty.k]

just make sure you spread it reeeeel thick on yer toast!:D:8ball:

[dgs73]

oy oy oy… thats why so many Americans that have tried it HATE the stuff… dont spread it thick!! Vegemite and cheese rocks… my 2 cents…

[trash]

Vegemite is filth. It may be australian, but not all of us like it. A bit like the ‘mystery bag’
I just can’t stomach them… the thought of how many rats live in the gravy factory just doesn’t do it for me !

But, Australia does have some of the best food in the world.
Where to start …
Our steaks are as good, if not better than texas, and I’m happy to say, I’ve had good steak in both countries.
Americans unfortunatly don’t know how to make a good hotdog. Most of them taste like crap and are made with so much extra rubbish or shitty buns…
Want a hot dog … Myers in Melbourne used to make the worlds best.
Kerbab .. best has to go to the turkish kerab guy in Bendigo.
A Hamburger …. to Americans it’s all about how much meat you can get between bread, which I don’t mind. But, until you’ve had a hand made ozzie burger made in some local country take-away but somebody not born in this country. (commonly refered to as a ‘wog’) You just have not had a hamburger.
Seafood… nowhere in the world has seafood like australia…
King Prawns… yummy ! Not “SHRIMP” ! That’s a filthy american word.. and it describes shitty american farm grown prawns imported from thailand.
Come to australia and you need a 80ft trawler to haul in deep sea king prawns !
Scallops, oysters, abalone, muscles, lobster, bugs, crabs – muddies and swimmers.
Not to mention the best fish and chips on the planet ! Potato scallops or potato cakes depending on where you come from.
Cake it in batter and deep fry it !
The poms are stupid enough to try it with a mars bar out of desperation…. if you’ve ever tasted their fish and chips… Cod .. almost as good as carp !!
If you like english food, you’ll love their weather !!
Then you’ve got the good food, like roo, croc, and my fav… bush chook ! (emu) Got to love those drumsticks !
Most of our bush bacon ends up as german saussages… and our feral goats are all Halal !
Not to forget my local viets … so many of these people over ran the country in the 70’s. they don’t cause too much trouble, and we can’t get rid of them because they bake the best bread.
We’d starve without them 🙂
The unwritten rule is … if they got off the boat after you, you’re allowed to give them shit 🙂

On this passing note … I’ll leave you with a thought that not american can understand.
Violet Crumble !!
and twisties !!

[z-beam]

violet crumble and twisties are the two most important things to send to a mate overseas, that is of course if they have an adress…

one of my ex’s is in my head sayin, kebab, not kerbab!!!!! and make sure you get bbq sauce!!!

as for the seafood, well sashimi is the best test in my mind. and if the japanese spend more money on our aussie tuna than our steel or wool then you know we must have the best …. not to mention the beef….

and if it wasnt for the humble aussie wog (or chocco) we wouldnt have all the awesome diverse food and good lookin girlies we have today. thank god for the tv show pizza, and all the half maltese and other ethnic mixed beauties we have today to all have a good look at!!!

as far as food goes the only gripe i got is country chinise food, they do it well in the city!(especially yum cha) but overall it seems like country chinese food is made from gluten!@!$^#.

go to the vegetarian chinese resteraunts in sydney or melbourne and try the fake chicken, then go to the closest dodgy country out let and see what i mean!!! it’s the same stuff!.

HOTDOGS!!!!!!!!! i cant eat that rubbish!!! ever heard of pigs lips??? tripe??? breadcrumbs??? that stuff aint fit for doggs!!!

[Jowlz]

hotdogs rule. what the hell is violet crumble? does it attack people in groups?

[jamiekulhanek]

vegemite, that’s the scum that you scrape off the bottom of yer shoes, promite is waaaay better. Vegemite tastes like pussy. (jk)

Violet crumble is the same as “crunchie” but it don’t matter cause all you have is Hersheys!!

Have a look at this link, very amusing.

yeah, I don’t call bunny bush chook.
Soaked in Vinegar overninght and fried in bread crumbs, it tastes more like veal to me.
Yummy.

Roo tastes a lot like beef, but with a touch of that gamey taste of rabbit. It’s nice if it is cooked correctly.

Bush pigs, well the funniest thing I’ve seen on the campfire is a side of pork with the hair still on it. Not my kind of food.

[dgs73]

Ithink that’s more of an explosion than skinning and dicing Jamie… stiill pretty amusing, even if for the wrong reasons. We have a similar one here at work in which a pigeon gets k.o.ed by a pitcher at a US baseball game… thing disappears in a cloud of feathers…

That picture is very decieving !
It doesn’t show any kangaroos in the main street, and there are plenty of them !
I can think of quite a few areas that have kangaross within 30km of the city (20 miles from downtown). You don’t find to many bears upstate NY for comparison !

Truth be known, I’ve been to NY,NY a few times and the green patch behind the Opera house is about 2/3rds the size of central park for comparison. Sydney is about the same size as downtown LA for comparison, it’s actually a lot like San Francisco with the harbour and all.

Canberra is very much like Washington DC.
Canberra is a smaller city, spread out over a larger area with less interesting museums.
Smithsonian is the just the cream of museums !
A cold day in Washington sees 4ft of snow.
A cold day in Canberra means you get frost on your car !

squirrels are funny creatures. really all they are is little twitchy scavengers who dont want no trouble.

You poor poor bastard.

Squirrels are the epitomy of evil. They embody all that is wrong with this world. Yes, they are cute and furry and rambunctious and most times rabies free, but once you get to really know them you’ll agree with me. For example, there was this little squirrel that hung around the courtyard when I was in highschool. We used to feed him and named him Mr. Peanut, heck we even smoked a blunt once with him (lil bugger loved the shotgun). One day as I was skipping to school whistling dixie and shooting at mailboxes with my .22 I noticed more than 20 men in front of my school all dressed in black and masked carrying semi automatic assualt riffles. One or two is normal but over 20, I knew something was up. Long story short, the death toll was 50 and Mr. peanut was incarcerated for 10 consecutive life sentences to be served in elmira state pen for the crimanally insane.
You have been warned.

[trash]

Actually, most of the people on this forum are too young to remember, but at one time we did actually have squirrels in Hyde Park in Sydney.
(like a small version of central park).
Many years ago before greenies becaome a problem, the squirrels magically dissappeared overnight.

They were, trapped and poisoned, and thankfully forgotten about. Squirrels loose in this country would have been another ecological disaster.

In the USA, I take some delight in helping rid the world of varmit’s. M80’s wrapped in a piece of bread are a classic, but my new favourite the 22-17 !! They just have squirrel written all over them !!

Koala – Not for Sale, Not for Export.
besides, what kind of animal has 2 thumbs on each hand ???

Go the platypus !
A mammal.. like a beaver, lives in the water and feeds it’s young on milk.
A marsupial .. like a kangaroo, has a pouch which it rears it’s young.
Has a bill like a duck, and lays eggs like a bird.
A monotreme, the echidna has spines like a porcupine, the platypus also has two claws/spines on it’s bad legs. They are not designed to kill, but the poison inflicts hiddious pain on its victums. It’s a self defence tool, not a weapon used for hunting babies etc! 🙂

As I often like to play god, I’d personally like to make some improvements to this animal.
Making it 30ft long and some razor sharp teeth would make this animal more interesting.
Oh.. ok… sorry…. already been done…
bunyip !

Cryptozoology… everybody has forgotten our favourites, the tasmanian tiger, the bunyip, and the yowie !!

Yeah sure, their are big cats and other monsters like razorbacks out there… but most people just mistake those for your average feral cat and wild pig.

And where are the kiwi’s ?? I haven’t heard any mention of a Moa, though I did mention the wetas.

ok yesterday when i was in ohio(they have good beer laws) i picked up some stout cuz in pennsylvania(gay ass beer laws) you have to buy a case at a time and who has 35bucks for a case of beer?

i got me a sixer of mackessin cuz that shit rules. but they also had pint bottles of “sheaf stout” it says its brewed by people who have to run away from poisonous spiders that can jump 30feet.

now i know fosters = kangaroo piss

is this sheaf(sounds like sheep by no cooincidence i suspect) stuff considered good in your country? i only tried a few swigs so far but it was aiaite.

have you guys seen the fosters commercials that they air in america? hahahaha

[z-beam]

f*ck the laws of pennsylvania!!! they must brew some poor brew in that part of the country to have laws like that!

does that mean at a bar you gotta buy a jug? or can you get a glass?

stout is allright, i dont mind it. i reckon its good but others steer clear of its thickness.
the english invented a type of beer called a porter that is like the taste of good stout but thinner like an ale.
you get any brew with yeast still in the bottom of the bottle? we get coopers and its probably the best of the bunch in australia. especially the vintage ale (2 years in the bottle and 7.5 percent alc.)..

[Jowlz]

actually pennsylvania has some of americas best breweries.

at a bar its the same deal as far as prices but you cant goto 7-11 and pick up a sixer.

why they make us buy a case i dont know tho. i guess they just wana make sure you get really trashed.

Jowl you got to admit that America is a load of crap.

They go and steal Iraq and all their oil and use American chosen people to govern the country which is most likely another American. Isn’t that just pure selfishness and stupidity? It the same theory as i come over and take over your house and take all your stuff and i ruling your house!

And American aren’t any better in food compare to Australia. They started Macdonald and fatten the whole world and this had been proven by a short movie which would be soon be released in Australia called ‘Super Size Me!’ where this person eats Maccas everyday and he gains heaps of weight in just one month by eating Macdonald. Even worse they create Krispy Kreme sugar on sugar!! One of those doughnut is approximately 1000kj+ i had one of thoses and it would fill you up for the rest of the evening!

Australia do brew good beer, especailly wine. We export heaps of wine every year around the world and what do Americans do? Exports lies and accusations to other countries? Weapon of Mass Destruction?

dear oh dear people, I go on holidays for a week and you’re into weapons of mass destruction and beer.
First let it be said that Australians don’t really drink Fosters, and we don’t really watch Steve Irwin, we never even knew he existed until the yanks said, “hey look at this guy”!

As for pickin’ on da hills folk ! I think some of you people need to take a drive out in the Australian countryside. There are a few towns out there that a short stocked on genetic material !
What amazes me is that one town has a chromosome deficency and the next has a surplus ?
The name Tumbarumba comes to mind.
And lets not forget good old Tasmania, where mitocondrial DNA has less variety than a 1945 Russian fashion show !

Beer and the law…. Now thanks to the yanks for showing us how the legal system should work, the word ‘lottery’ jumps to mind. Australia has become a police state where fun will be something the Russians have and we don’t !

Alcohol has generally been freely available in Australia, and the state governments have keep a stangle hold over it with some hefty taxes.
They have controled who can sell it and when and under what conditions. The licence fees for night clubs are hiddious, almost criminal in NSW.
Some clubs out in country areas have got around the law by being ‘resteraunts’, and a blind eye is turned to it because they could never afford the money city clubs pay.
Which is why in NSW country towns, you’re asked “Are you going to have a meal here tonight?”. If you have the intention of eating, and change your mind, well that doesn’t matter.
I friend of mine was not being let in by a bouncer because he did not want to eat anything.
(nerd alert), I told him to ask the bouncer for a menu. I was told by the bouncer, please do not feed the idiots ! I insisted to my friend that he will order and eat some chips or I would beat him myself !
But generally, you can buy alcohol over the counter at ‘bottle shops’ that basically only sell alcohol. I’m not sure if packet chips are legal 🙂

In USA, in most places you can buy grog from 7-11. Though you have to be able to produce an ID saying your 21. Not that you actually have to be 21.
Now if you’ve ever been to USA and know their road toll figures, you’d wonder wtf we carry on about with a holiday road toll of 45 ! DUI is like a competition in USA and unless you’re smashed off your face, your chances of getting done are slim and even then it isn’t a big deal.
The road toll is AMAZING !! and most of it is DUI, speeding is hardly a cause of accidents because most accidents happen on the first corner down the road from the pub/bar !
Breathaliser is never seen, instead the cop will talk to you… if you can hold a sentence together, you’re free to go. If you look a bit dopey, then they might ask you to touch your nose or walk a line.
Now I dunno about some of the more irresponsible people on this forum, but I can walk a tight rope when I’ve had a few tonic’s. Be darned if I can do it straight ! Couldn’t drive a car pissed though ! Not for a lack of trying one night in the USA, I couldn’t get the key in the damn door and it freaked me out when I did get in the car and there was no damn steering wheel !
Lucky my passanger was almost sober and drove us home.
But look out folks, don’t drive in the USA with a can of beer in the car especially an open one !
You can be pope john paul, sober for the past 10 years and have an empty open can of beer in your pope-mobile and you’re of to the federal pen !

But that’s no big deal for most Americans …
I think the stats are that 50% have spent at least one night in the lockup at some point in time.
When I was finally arrested (it had to happen) for speeding and damn I was going fast! I spent about 15 minutes in the lockup so I’m not sure I qualify. I had to pay the damn fine in cash, and I was back at warp factor 9 before you new it.
Next town I bought a radar detector and I was good for the next 3000 miles 🙂

[Jowlz]

uhh bruce you mustsa went to texas. cops are dicks about dui. you have to serve at least a weekend for that. maybe a week. plus you lose your license for a while.

so anyhow, i read about the locust storm heading to betty.k’s house.

[trash]

hehe, it’s were I got busted for speeding…
I asked the sherrif what would have happened if I made the county line (which would have been about 5 minutes at the speed I was going).
“oh, you woulda just made me pissed at having to drive all the way down there to get ya when the next sherrif would have been waiting down there for ya !”

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!:D:8ball:

[Jowlz]

now this is the australia that i see on tv commercials.

COLAC, Australia (AP) — An Aboriginal woman clad in animal skins has put a traditional curse on Prime Minister Bruce Howard, apparently in retaliation for government plans to abolish Australia’s top indigenous elected body.

Howard encountered the woman on a visit to Colac, an outback town with 500 people in the southern state of Victoria.

Supporters turned up to greet the prime minister along with angry Aboriginal protesters and the woman, known only as Moopor.

Painted in traditional tribal makeup and wearing possum skins, Moopor stood silently and cast the curse by pointing a small bone at Howard as he climbed into a waiting car. Howard smiled and waved at Moopor before leaving.

Moopor refused to speak with reporters, citing unspecified Aboriginal cultural reasons.

It was not clear what effect the curse was intended to have on the prime minister.

Bruce Clark, the chairman of the soon-to-be scrapped Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, said the curse was a warning for Howard.

“Mr. Howard can … ignore the message at his own peril and be put under a curse up until the next federal election,” Clark told reporters.

The commission, widely referred to as ATSIC, advises the government on indigenous issues.

With 17 commissioners elected by Aboriginal voters and a budget of more than $600 million, it administers government-funded projects aimed at improving their lives.

But Howard said on April 15 that his government plans to abolish the 14-year-old commission because it has failed to improve the lot of most Aborigines, who remain the poorest, sickest and least educated minority group among Australia’s 20 million people.

In place of ATSIC, the government wants to appoint a panel of Aboriginal experts to advise it on indigenous needs.

*********ok yesterday was “Anzac Day”**************

what in the hell is an Anzac? I’m willing to bet that it can kill you with a single bite. But I just wanted to be sure. Does it involve porn and bottle rockets like the last holliday Australian holliday that popped up on my trusty southpark calendar??

Is an Anzac a cross between a giant squid and a kangaroo? I have so many theories but im still just not quite sure.

do you know what it is Bruce?

[TallduDe]

On 25 April every year Australians commemorate Anzac Day. It is Australia’s sacred day. The day has the same significance in New Zealand, Australia’s counterpart in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (the ANZACs) at Gallipoli.

Basically its the day we pay respect to the people who fought in wars for Australia. part of our national identity.

[Jowlz]

soooooo theres a buncha anzacs(bruce’s with guns?) in iraq right now fighting for australian freedom(george bush’s friends’ wallets really). you guys should tell your army to throw its guns down and just let crates of tazmanian devils and spiders and crap out of the planes over iraq. theyd be scared shitless in a week.

[TallduDe]

yeah we should get the hell out of Iraq so should the Iraqis atm.

im all for throwing native wildlife at people, but not the good ole tassie devil apearently they are endanged :shock:.

so lets throw george bush instead there seems to be more of them as years go on.

[jamiekulhanek]

Nope Not anzacs mate, just aussies!

[Jowlz]

whats the difference? anzacs have a fosters in one hand and a gun in another? and a regular bruce just has two fosters?

[TallduDe]

nar man ANZAC is Australian & New Zealand Army Corps.

meaning a combined force of Ozzies (bruces) and Kiwi’s.

theres only Ozzies there atm, Kiwis had the right idea and had no part of this war for freedom bullshite that is currently(and will take years to solve) happening.

plus who the hell drinks fosters its the beer we dont drink. why you think we export it to you suckers, we dont want it :p

[Jowlz]

so its like voltron? bruces and sheepherders combine to form one giant robot type thing? does it look like a kangaroo?

ya a lot of people here think fosters is good because its an “import” but i never liked it. do we import buttweiper or busch or coors to you?
if so i apologize.

[Aaron]

Yeah you guys export those sorry excuses for beer to us….

ANZAC biscuits … nar, won’t kill you in one bite.. in fact, they are a lot like sausages. Everything that is left over was put into them.
Helps you build up your immunity 🙂

The original Anzac thing, aussie identity is from WW1 when Aus and NZ soldiers were basically under the command of the UK, who fucked up the invasion of Turkey right royal an propper.
Australia didn’t have conscription and all were volunteers, a lot of 18-20 year olds and some even younger. They were a lot braver than they were smart, and it was a serious defeat.
It’s parrellel in the USA is the civil war.

Australians have a serious military history.
The Crimean War under the UK. When Brittian spent lots of money preparing for war with Russia.
The Russians didn’t want a war, but the brits basically said, you can’t not have a war, we spent too much money already preparing for one !
So they invaded the Crimea in the Ukrane and the Russians despatched them in a big way for their troubles. It was thought Russia might also try and invade British colonies, so a lot of coastal forts were built, but the russians never came.

The Boer War in Africa was next. Again Australians were under the control British.
The Aussies weren’t too happy about having to control rouge settlers just like themselves to keep them under British rule, but they did the job anyway. The last soldiers to be excuted under British command were Harry ‘breaker’ Morant and Peter Handcock. (see movie – “breaker morant” or Movie – “Gallipolli”.)
[Also see Mad Max 1 – but this has nothing to do with the other two]

From that point on, the ANZAC’s were a seperate division under their own command structure, but were basically still under instructions from the Brits during WW1.

Australia played a major role in WW2 against the axis in Europe and the Pacific and Australian soldiers suffered terribly at the hands of the Japanese if they were taken prisoner.
The fuzzy wuzzy’s played a big role and I often wonder why they do not get more of a mention.
PNG was a german colony before the war.

Korea Aussies served under the UN, and along side the USA in Vietnam. The motives for doing so were justified as communism was a very real threat.
The greenies often dismiss it and vietnam vets got the raw end of the deal when they returned home. It was the first time Australia had conscription. Their were many consciencious objectors who opposed conscription. Their lives seemed a hell of a lot better, and one in particular when on to become a politician, and the minister for defence ! And then had a go at becoming prime minister. That would have been a national discrace ! Thankfully we’re almost rid of him !

Australia continues to play a role in world security. In the gulf war, Afganistan, the Solomon Islands and East Timor.

Australian solders aren’t really refered to as ANZAC’s anymore, but any conflict which has involved us is represented by ANZAC day.

The politics behind Iraq, Afganistan, Solomons and East Timor run very deep. I can tell you of far worse things than those that have happened in Iraq that have happened in East Tiomr committed by the Indonesians, and how Australian politicians have helped cover them up.
But there will always be politics behind the deployment of Australian forces and usually the wrong reasons are the ones that get a mention.
Let it be said that the first casualty of a war, is the truth.

whats up with that kangaroo that got an award becuase he saved some sheep farmer’s life after a tree fell on him?

reminds me of an old tv show here called “lassie” that was about a dog(we have dogs without pouches here) that could communicate that timmy was stuck in a burning building just by barking and the whole town knew what was up and would save timmy every week.

so they gona make a tv show with this kangaroo? “brucie”

ook now i read about how a buncha bruces want to shoot a buttload of koalas on “kangaroo island”

uhh why dont they just put the koalas on “bird eating spider island” or do a pay per view special “koalas vs tazmanian devil steel cage match”?

[peteWah]

yeah…. that would be a hardcore match up 😀

[z-beam]

the koalas are noisy bastards. their guts are full o0f eucalyptus leaves that ferment this makes them consantly pissed.

[jamiekulhanek]

tassie devils have a 3000lb bite pressure and aren’t much bigger than a domestic cat.

[trash]

Definition of a Tassie Devil is…
Take a wombat, shrink him down by half, make him carnivorious, pump him up on steriods, starve him for a few weeks and then poke him with a stick till he becomes really pissed off ! Then let him lose to run in the wild.. that’s a TD !

Yeah, Koala’s lose their cuddly appeal when you see as wild one caught and bagged ! Nasty critters !! One day I expect to hear of a Jap that has been savaged by a koala after climbing a tree and trying to cuddle one.

Skippy ! An Australian hero and National Icon !!
Since skippy left the film industry, she’s been hard up for an income… she was last seen out on the highways of Australia, selling drugs to truck drivers !! They call her, “Skipper the Pusher Kangaroo”.

There was also a song written by DAAS Kapital,
‘Skin head Skippy, the Facist Kangaroo’
… with blood soaked roller boots and a racist attitude !

The funniest thing I have seen on Russian TV was skippy, they love it ! They’ve been getting a lot of old Australian series on TV the past few years. I guess they’re cheap programing.
I wonder what will happen when they finally catch up with the rest of the world and get stuff like Gilligans island ?

cant you just throw boomerangs at the koalas? that sounds like fun.

[trash]

kowalski ? Isn’t that a Japanese motorcycle ?
Or was it a Polish marsupial ?

GI is just the start… think about it … 40 years of TV to catch up on ?
What the hell are they going to make of star trek and Dr Who etc ?

ok i see why you put up with the ants and clawed things.:evil:

[jamiekulhanek]

hahaha i am a watcher…….just can’t help it.

[Jowlz]

i like how your politicians can bribe out in the open.

some dude named costello(half of abbot and costello) made some speech offering you guys 50bucks to vote for him or some shit. thats pretty cool i guess. then he said “croikey bruce, go home and get boners and screw your wife or some hookers!!”

id vote for that dude even tho hes an ancestor of criminals.

[trash]

I like how strong the ‘over the counter’ drugs are getting up there… combine that with whatever the hell it is you’re getting on TV ?

I think I got it workd out…. you’re watching the “australian channel” on DSS cable ?

Politcians in USA don’t need to bribe out in the open, they get more than enough money under the table for election campaigns !!

Since voting in USA is a spectator sport, they really don’t have to try hard to convince people which way to vote… they are already hard line one way or the other.

Here in Australia, voting is compulsory.
Actually voting isn’t compulsory, you attendance is ! You can write anything you like on the ballot form and some people do !

The end result of compulsory voting is that you still have the fringe hard liners that vote one way or the other, but now you have the majority of idiots to convince that you aren’t as bad as the other guys.
I like to think of it as the evil of two lessers.

Yes, we have ministers abbot and costello. It doesn’t really rate a mention here..
We prefer to think of Australian parliment as being run like a 3 ring circus, John Howard and two other ar5eholes !

dude i dont watch tv very often. i have cable at home but it goes to my computer not my tv.

i get paid to sit on my ass all day and read the news. so i come across all the screwey stories. and well on news.com.au they had a story about abbot and costello asking people to go home and fuck.

[Jowlz]

and whatsup with that little boy pumping politician that just killed himself?

we dont elect child molestors into office, we just put them on eMpTy V.

[trash]

You getting waaaay too much Australian TV on you HNCPlus and NCphonenix program there you cable pirate 🙂

You get paid to read weird stories ….
Look I know this little place in Nevada called Rachelle … it’s got lots of whacky stories ! 🙂

[Admin]

you guys are sooper silly. but the best thing about Australia is. NIMBIN=legal marijuana

[betty.k]

marijuana? yes. legal? no. scagged out junkies with fishing knives strapped to their legs? yes.:8ball:

[trash]

Nimbin, the town where you look at the buildings and they look back at you.
Bad news hippy, the green stuff may be growning through them there hills but it ain’t exactly a legit cash crop ! 🙂

[Jowlz]

do australians smoke crack?

[Jowlz]

some dude named bruce from melbourne ordered this from the crazy country called merika and aussie customs intercepted it along with other kinves and sword stuff.

now wtf??? your country was founded by a buncha brits who got dropped off cuz england’s prisons were too crowded. youd think they would encourage knives.

[merc-blue]

YOU CALL THAT A KNIFE THIS IS A KNIFE

in the word of everyones favorite hero (cocodile dundee)

[Jowlz]

whos that bruce?

[peteWah]

Kowalski_ stop with the Bruces
:MEEEAAAAT

[betty.k]

yeah, bruce is right , we aint all called bruce!! there’s a guy called timothy somewhere.

crack is pretty rare down here, but we got a healthy gutter drug industry down here. remember kiddies, drugs are bad m’kaaay?:8ball:

[bithed]

…oh yeah..let me in on this one too !! dont forget whats in the armpit of australia…oh yeah ! its new zealand !!! YAY !!! and you thought all those middle earth fellas were wearing make up…Gees we ALL look like that after a night out 🙂

[trash]

Wow, that’s a cool weapon !
The dude in the picture is a customs agent.
Having dealt with customs many times before…
(NOT GUILTY YOU HONOUR !) you get to know them.
Customs aren’t too bad… I’m generally nice to the people who have the power to screw you over big time if they don’t like you.
AQIS – Quarentine are a lot tougher. They’re not bad people but I still think they should be.
One big bad arse knife isn’t really going to hurt anybody… it’s a little hard to conceil in public. But a screw worm fly … that would devistate this country.

Drugs in this country.. interesting topic.

Crack is very rare here, even out stupid people are smart enough to steer clear of it.
Having said that Cocaine is out largest seized drug by customs. Customs usually stops about 10 tonnes of Herion a year from entering the country, they usually stop about 100 tonnes of Coke ! An absolutely amazing amount given that cocaine is not all the popular here either.
It’s basically an upper class drug.

Herion is not hard to get here, but it really isn’t all that much of a problem. It’s usually lower class heavy dope smokers that get caught up in it. The real bottom end, but you occasionally hear of some middle class unemployed artists dying from overdoses. Quite funny to know that Tasmania produces quite a bit of legal morphine for medicine, and opium poppies grow wild all over the country.

Pot/dope is quite common and quite a few people smoke it. It seems to be occasional recreational use by middle and upper classes, and you see some cronic lower class smokers like in the USA.

MDMA ‘Extacy’ is quite common and popular.
It recieves a lot of publicity, the govt and media try to give it a bad name, but when they make up stories, they loose credibility and it only serves to make it more popular.

Speed and Anphetamines are quite common too.
It’s the bikie gangs that make and destribute the stuff. It’s probably our second most popular illicit drug.

LSD is rather rare these days since MDMA.
It used to be common.

PCP and other weird freak fringe drugs are non existant.

There is a time and a place for everything kiddies, and it’s called, “University” M’okaay !
🙂

[Jowlz]

Crikey!!!

i just read that killer kangaroos are attacking dogs and old ladies in canberra. i bet they keep a few copies of hustler in that pouch.

any of you ever get attacked by one of these horribly evil creatures?

[Aaron]

Not attacked, but living in Canberra I have to say that the long dry spell (ie drought) has brought the big buggers out from the bush and onto the streets.

A few weeks ago I was driving through a suburb at like 6:30am and encountered a group on a sports oval, and one that was hopping along the footpath alongside the car at about 40kph!

There’s a lot more big Roo roadkill about these days as well. The Roos are coming into suburbia seekign water and greener pasture, unfortunately a lot of them end up getting killed by traffic, or attacked by dogs.

dingos?

[z-beam]

no dingo attacks these days jowlz, havent heard of one for years. one old guy in adelaide recently claimed he buried a girl in his back yard after shooting the dingo that had her in its mouth…. or something along those lines.

ahh drugs. paper lsd (and liquid drops) can be found quite easily, in fact i got some dilberts the other day! thankyou california!

i’m about 45 minutes from nimbin, and for those who grow it sure is a profitable buisness. most of the local supermarkets and bottleshops double theyre turn over during the harvest months…

$10au/ gram is very nice compared to city markup, e.g. $25au/0.6 gram! (ok thats an extreme).

cocaine is interesting, i’m not sure how it happens but a vast majority of the confiscated loot makes it back on the street. i think its got something to do with making the most of what you got… and our country has always had a drug trade from the start.

we even started out without a local currency, and for years the population was paid in rum.

some “fringe” drugs are rampant in certain areas, out in the western country areas crystal meth is gaining a huge following (the filth that it is), DMT is quite a potent substance and many have become exposed to it these days (i’d never touch it! give me a blue meany any day!).

[Jowlz]

wtf is a blue?

[betty.k]

z beam is wrong. drugs are illegal down here so nobody does em:8ball:

[jamiekulhanek]

$9 gram down here in tassie….

[Geo-Z]

the odd kanga loitering about is nothing new…..damage-wise, just don’t be on the recieving end of their kicks. ABC’s (alien big cats) are a different kettle of fish…i sure as hell rather bump into a kanga than a cougar. There are rumored ABCs in the Blue mountains too, possibly pumas from US military personnel long ago. They seem to have adapted to the environment fairly well. Yes, i’m a nutter, i luv reading about these mysterious things.:evil:

Aaron: Once i was on a tour bus returning from Canberra…lol there were two enormous, gas-filled wombat carcasses on the deserted country road. Thick swarms of flies were visible from the distance…..the bus simply swatted them away – one took off like a winning goal, the other spun like crazy. :D:D

so whats up with all that beatles shit in some suitcase? im surprised a koala didnt rip it up during all those years.

[trash]

$9 in Tassie … well that’s no supprise … Tassie is one of the worlds biggest opium producers, it should be cheap down there 🙂

A blue is a flight.

as in virgin blue? peeps with red hair get called blue as well, i think thats where mr. branson got the “red planes lets call them blue” idea.

or did you mean fight…

[merc-blue]

yeh that dudes a nutter. he bought a aquada (or watever they are) and drove the english channel just so he could feel special

[trash]

what a typo ..
it was supposed to be “a fight”.
Two blokes at the pub got into a blue.

but then again… somebody who is called “blue” often has red hair. I’m sure this wasn’t lost on virgin planes being bright red.

and I don’t know wtf is going on with olivia newton john’s shop “koala blue”.

The we had that painting “Blue Poles” that looks a lot like a digested pizza that was thrown up.
The governement paid a rediculous amount of money for that piece of shit.

We have the “Blue Ringed Octopus”.
They’re only small and you wouldn’t notice if they bite you, but their bite is potentially fatal. Make them angry and they’ll display their blue rings, which most marine creatures know means danger.

We have “Blue Bottles” (portugese man-o-war).
Go swimming at the beach in summer and get stung by one and you’ll know about pain.

and If you ever have a case of “blue balls” … then well 🙂

[jamiekulhanek]

[Jowlz]

no dont go cutting betty.

looky hear. isnt she a beut. shes got a nutsack the soize of sydney harbour.

[jamiekulhanek]

i have got a few kangaroo feathers left dude, if you want them…they’re yours…

[trash]

Here we go again…
yeah, the “kangaroo’s pouch” is a great aussie souvineer you see on sale at some of the airports.
🙂 I wonder how many japs buy them and then reality dawns on them when they get home and realise that it comes from a male kangaroo instead of a female !

Another favourite is “hairy bush nuts”. You see them growing everywhere.

[micro_Amps]

Ever since that baby was taken by a dingo all those years ago, the Australian government introduced junior ‘dingo self defense’ classes in schools for the under 10s.
Obviously it worked.

That dingo is smiling by the way.

[Jowlz]

Crikey!!

[trash]

I love how they got the most vicious looking photo of a dingo they could find.

I have a wonderful idea. Since people are way to stupid to train, you have to train the dingos.
This is simple, use the same technique they use in Canada for black bears. Rock salt !
You take a 12 guage shotgun shell and pull the lead shot out and reload it with rock salt. You then deposit it into a black bear/dingo and they learn extreemly quickly that humans mean pain. The sight of one human is enough to send them running.

I’d also like to try this technique on tourists, but unfortunately they won’t associate the pain with the dingo, but rather, the guy with the gun. 🙂

I’ve also thought about how to apply this to parking cops. But the problem is their skin is far too thick and the salt would ricochet right off them like wonder woman’s magic braclets ! 🙂

[betty.k]

pure genius! i’m gonna keep a loaded shotty fulla salt in the lounge room for the next time the cat tries to piss on the floor:dead::8ball:

[micro_Amps]

That dingo pic is not a viscious one, its YAWNING.

[trash]

never let a good story or picture get in the way of the truth. Don’t ruin the moment 🙂

[micro_Amps]

Sorry, he must have been tired after eating another child.

[jamiekulhanek]

First he’s viscious, then he’s smiling, then he’s yawning….make up yer bloody mind!!

I prefer – Skinhead Skippy, the Facist Kangaroo.
