I know we have a few rarefied antipodean examples of godly awesomeness here, myself included. But How many?

There's RuseBolton who posted just now, Warefish, Cartoonprofessor, ParkerFarker, and a few others…

Basically; Post if you're Aussie! :)

Of course, even if you didn't. Kiwis count as honorary Aussies automatically :)

I've watched both the Crocodile Dundee movies.

Does that count?

Well apparently the reason you get earthquakes there is because the Aussie tectonic plate is overlapping the Japanese one. (I could be wrong. My geography teacher wore bow ties… red ones. With spots. He also wore a brown tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows. Seriously.)

So yeah… Japan will eventually be made into part of Australia!

Only if you can play knifey spoony.

I'm not an Aussie but:

I play the digeridoo.
I enjoy throwing things on the barbie.
I drink lots of tinnies.
I cried at the end of Rabbit Proof Fence.

Oh no - I think I just disqualified myself with man tears. :cry2:

I don't think so. According to my comic Australia will be an evil super power or something in the future. I can't let you guys start uniting now. By next week you'll all be dressing like the freak in my link!

Hmm… I don't think that was the point, but now that you mention it… i could do with a little evil in my day, thanks for the tip :evil:

Now I feel like I should mention some Aussie actors: Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman… and Eric Bana… and Sam Worthington… and Simon Baker… and Toni Colette… And I guess Russell Crowe too… and Mel Gibson… and some other people too.

That's right. In the words of the Monty Python "Bruce" sketch: no pooftas.

I joke, of course. We are proud of our pride marches.

But yeah- the true Aussie reaction is stony-faced denial with a tinge of grudging respect. ^___^

Sounds 100% true to life to me.

Aussie actors
Well Russell Crowe is a Kiwi (honorary Aussie), and Mel Gibson is really a Yank. Heh, I guess that's why you put them on the end eh? ;)

Greatest Aussie expat actor had to be Errol Flynn! When I think of pirates I think of Errol as Captain Blood, when I think of Robin Hood, only Errol ever comes to mind- all others are crappy looser fakers. >:\

I believe it was best said or in this case sung, in the 'New Australian Anthem' by Tripod -

We've got enough different foods now,
We've got some quite good bands,
So let's all grit our teeth and sort of hold hands.

Sorry no YouTube link… it seems no-one has posted a video for it…
But if you do want it the full lyrics are here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/pennywyatt/Interests/Tripod/SongInAnHour3/Song%20in%20an%20Hour08.html
& you can apparently download the MP3 without being threated with Piracy warnings…

We'll have an Aussie in the house tomorrow. My sister's boyfriend is on the way. He's technically English and was born in Zimbabwe, but he grew up and lives in Perth.

When my sister stayed there, her name was instantly shortened from Christine to Chris. And her bf Roland is called Ro. Do Aussies fear multisyllabic names, or was this just his family?

lol! Rings true.

Shockingly so!
A far worse offense though is the arbitrary addition of "O" to the end various names and terms…
Damien == Damo (pronounced Day-mo)
Milkman == Milko
Musician == Muso (pronounced Mew-zo)

Milkman == Milko
Musician == Muso (pronounced Mew-zo)

Nothing anoyed me more than when someone would call me Damo, after long enough though people seems to get the point & also appeared to get lazier & just started calling me 'D'.
But to add a few to the list -
Servo == Service station
Smoko == To have a cigarette/sometimes used to refer to a 10-15 minute break.
Jonno == John/Jonny

Well, just to push the matter further there is also the matter of adding 'a' as in the sound when saying 'at' but even going as far as adding a 'zz' to the end of names such as -
Lozza == Lauren
Bazza == Barry
Wozza == Warren? Don't ask me…
Bugga == Bugger, that one letter makes all the difference

a demonstration -

Me:'awesome its time for a smoko, damn i'm out… Jonno, Lozza, you guy's need smokes? i'm heading down to the servo'.
Jonno: Nah mate, we're all good, but the servo 'l be closed now, you'll need to go the the Milko, but watch yourself around that Muso, he's cunning, rob you blind he will.

Damn, my spell check hates me now…:dizzy:

I'll take note to replicate this way of speaking when I have to add the Aussie's into my comic. KRYCKIE!
