Why would you want to be anything else but Australian?!?! From the Australian Bureau of Statistics 3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their tongue. 142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new shirts. 58 Australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. 31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in. 19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating Christmas decorations they believed were chocolate. Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling incidents. 101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet. 18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth. A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket. 5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars. ?.........and finally: 8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep (passing out) while throwing up into the toilet. YEP! It's great to be Australian!
Not to make fun of the dead, but GOD! WHAT A BUNCH OF MORONS! I dont even believe this one. They cant possibly be that stupid.
Hey smeg! I saw you on the travel channel the other day playing in the dirt and eating bugs....really cool! Also, cooking fish in the dirt is really cool! Can you give a rundown on how to do this? You bloody aussie blokes are very self-sufficient. I would love to cook fish in the dirt.
Roxrun, did you mean like the whole in the ground, then hot coals and then fish with flavours, spices, etc, wrapped in foil and then the dirt covered over the top and left to cook. As far as i know that is about it, just have to make sure the coals are extremely hot. R03, you telling me theren't are a pile of injuries and deaths in the US each year from bizarre and stupid causes Smeg
RoxRan, i think the cooking in the gorund is actually New Zealand / Maori thing and is called a Hangi Nevertheless great fun try here http://www.culture.co.nz/recipes/traditional/hangi.htm
He Won't Share His Sheep An Australian was walking down a country road in New Zealand, when he happened to glance over the fence and see a farmer goin' at it with a sheep. The Aussie is quite taken aback by this, so he climbs the fence and walks over to the farmer. He taps him on the shoulder and says, "You know mate, back home, we shear those!" The New Zealander looks frantically around and says, "I'm not bloody sharing this with no one!"
We cook fish in the ground when we go camping in Okieland. It takes several hours, but it seems to smoke the fish just right... Just pour a little picante sauce into the foil with the fish and you've got the best eatin' in Oklahoma.
Nice Work Finn* Do we have any New Zealand Rocket fans here or can with just hang as much ****e on them as we like?????

I hope you guys realize that there is a Texas thing called pit barbacue. Not real different. I will say, thankfully that at least in Texas we seem to have advanced beyond the mullet. I know that at least the dude sticking his thumb up croc's asses hasn't and he seems to be about as good a representation of whacked out Australian culture as I can find. Although what bad can you say about a culture that's produced Fosters Special Bitter in the oil cans..... Yummie. (I assume thats the import version of the stuff you upside down people call Victoria's Bitter, BTW?) <center></center> <center>Fosters Special Bitter</center>
Sounds like a good ol' fashion New England Clam Bake! Yummmm!!!! I also remember living in Spain and going to a pig roast on the beach! Same basic principle. Dig a hole, add a rock bed, burn about 4 or 5 cords of wood until the rocks become scorching, remove wood and ash, wrap pig in a wet blanket, cover with sand and let cook for about 12 to 16 hours. You never tasted pork so good!
That guy is seen as a jokle here in Australia Now as for your thoughts that Texas has advanced past the Mullet, Texas would be the home of the Mullet, dare I mention country music, where a Mullet is a must or the general run of mill "I drank my millions beers so now lets get it on on the bonnet of my car, i know your my cousin but it's OK" guy now he would always have a mullet!!! Dare I need to be more stereotypical!!!!
