oh yeah! almost forgot about the Bunyip!
You know what's funny, Murpheos? Out of all the commercials I've seen in the USA for the two months I spent there, there was one commercial I saw which was Australian (during the Australian oopen) Guess what it was for? XD |
mayonaisse O.o
we drink mayonaisse wow even i didnt know that XD and i dont think i know anyone who even DRINKS foster beer XD |
About the kangaroo thing...yep, they were being serious. ^^;
Well, thanks to Steve Irwin for making Americans more aware of Aussie animals. lol |
lol,
do they ride to school on buffalo's or "bears"XD or squirils XD |
And thanks to Steve Irwin for acting like a twit. I havent met anyone who said they liked that guy...............CRIKEY!
|
I hate him, he's a moron for dangling his baby near a crocodile as a stunt. --;
As Ryan said, he's the Aussie version of Michael Jackson. |
Yeah,He is a bit of a stooge.
But yeah some Americans have no idea what it is like over here. They think the Daddy Long-legs is actually deadly.XD |
Wanna hear a funny story? I was working at the Coffee Club, and this American tourist came up to me and asked "Do you sell coffee?"
|
lol, Kinda short, but still funny :P
I havn't actually ran into much americans, but i just know their system is ****ed up, and australia will be just like them if johny dont get outa "the bush" |
The whole American/Australian currency is a strange system, keeps going up and down. I remember before the events of September 11, the Australian dollar was very weak, less than 45 American cents, after that, it sky-rocketed.
|
hmm I didn't pay much attention, but now i think of it your right, It can only be a good thing (I think)
Then again, It doesn't really effect me XD |

Wait a minute... some Americans think that daddy long legs are deadly? Like, OMG. I have been reading this book... its fictional, but its about a girl who is from America who comes to Australia with her mother so they can spend Christmas with her mother's internet boyfriend... and she didn't even know what a redback spider was. It was quite amusing... she thought it was this giant thing... lol. What other things do the Americans think of some of our Aussie things? ^^; |
Meat pies, Thye dont understand it XD (Whats there not to understand XD)
and yeah the spider thing, They musn't have much spiders over there XD |
They often rant at me about the price of cherries at work, since we have to import them from America, so they are very expensive.
|
Who buys cherries anyway XD Joking
you need it on tob of the the 'pretty please' XD |
hehe, well according to the Simpsons, Australians only drink beer XD
yep, they seem to only have Squirrils over there... :P (I probably spelt that wrong, oh well) hmmm....Maybe we can ask somebody who's actually from the USA? There's bound to be somebody in these forums that is... you know.. I honestly don't think that they know all that much about Australia.. at least my cousins didn't... |
hmmm good idea
CALLING ALL YANKS no wait we dont want them all XD just one "btw, if your australian you already know, yanks isn't ment to be offensive!!:D" |
It's not that Americans dont know that much, they just dont know that much about Australia. Besides, without Americans, we wouldnt have lots of stuff. I cant think think of anything right now though.
P.S My 700th post! OH YEAH! |
movies, thats just about it XD
Without aussies you wouldnt have a petrol powered lawn mower ! |
hehe.. yeah.. I was actually refering to Australia - sorry if it mislead you. I'll change the post so it dosen't sound offensive ^_^'
|
Um what ?
DOnt know what you are taliking about sorry? |
hehe.. ok.. well I was the one who said that I didn't think that Americans knew all that much.. What I meant was that I didn't think that most Americans knew alot about Australia, but Murpheos thought that I was referring to everything... as in that they didn't know all that much about anything. Does that make sense? I hope it does...
oh yeah, we wouldn't have Vegemite either without Aussies XD |
XD Yeah
It makes perfect sence now :P Oh and we also invented some cure for some desiese ages ago, But i forget the details XD |
Michael Jackson wouldn't 'dangle' his child near crocs. I think people make too big a deal about MJ and Steve Irwin here. They care about their child more than we do. If they knew their kid would be in serious danger, they wouldn't have done it. But I'm not defending them too...it's not the best thing they've both done. lol
Anyway, Apparentlys, some Americans don't know the difference between Australia and Austria. lol Are we that "down under"? ^__^;; |
Micheal Jackson dangling his kids near crocs, no. Micheal Jackson dangling his kids of a fifth-story balcony, yes (at least I think it was five). When Irwin did his thing with the crics, the media focused on those two incidents.
Anywayways, I'm off to bed, early start at work, have a nice weekend, y'all. |
