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

Blitz~2005 July 14th, 2005 2:49 AM

Carina July 14th, 2005 2:54 AM

Well, thanks to Steve Irwin for making Americans more aware of Aussie animals. lol

Blitz~2005 July 14th, 2005 2:57 AM

Murpheos July 14th, 2005 3:25 AM

And thanks to Steve Irwin for acting like a twit. I havent met anyone who said they liked that guy...............CRIKEY!

Kylie-chan July 14th, 2005 7:57 PM

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.

Happy Dude July 14th, 2005 11:58 PM

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

Murpheos July 15th, 2005 12:05 AM

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?"

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 1:15 AM

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"

Murpheos July 15th, 2005 1:31 AM

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.

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 1:35 AM

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? ^^;

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 1:49 AM

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

Murpheos July 15th, 2005 1:50 AM

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.

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 1:54 AM

Who buys cherries anyway XD Joking

you need it on tob of the the 'pretty please' XD

STJ July 15th, 2005 2:07 AM

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...

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 2:14 AM

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"

Murpheos July 15th, 2005 2:18 AM

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!

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 2:20 AM

movies, thats just about it XD

Without aussies you wouldnt have a petrol powered lawn mower !

STJ July 15th, 2005 2:20 AM

hehe.. yeah.. I was actually refering to Australia - sorry if it mislead you. I'll change the post so it dosen't sound offensive ^_^'

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 2:25 AM

Um what ?

DOnt know what you are taliking about sorry?

STJ July 15th, 2005 2:29 AM

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

Blitz~2005 July 15th, 2005 2:32 AM

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

Carina July 15th, 2005 2:34 AM

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"? ^__^;;

Murpheos July 15th, 2005 2:39 AM

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.
