Not ONLY are you the reletive of the greatest Medieval poet, you're also descendent from Snorri and Egil!?
Not just a descendant. A direct descendant.
I sincerely hope you didn't inherit the Viking's tendency to expand their territory violently… or at least aren't trying to form raiding parties to invade other countries trying to collect a lot of booty… :)
Oh… and if you do, don't try invading my home, lest you return to your country completely penniless and in "the buff"…
I'm sure there's a reason why the Spanish called this island chain I live in "Islas de los Ladrones"… :evil:
I don't know what my genealogy is…i know my great grandparents were one of the original families who founded this town, and I probably have some badass native american ancestors, but I'm not too interested in it. Plus I'll probably find out i'm a direct descendant of hitler or something

Well I'm buying a new laptop. I'm going with Toshiba since I haven't had their products break on me yet and i can't afford sony. Wish me luck in finding one el cheapo~

Are you kidding? If I had a big enough crew and an IKEA flat pack viking boat, I'd totally invade my neighbors proerty and steal all his cattle and probably leave his women because I don't do that kind of stuff.

You probably could if it were back in the day. Just don't bring any small boats. The locals at the time stole a lot of small boats from the Spanish when they came here. They weren't too happy about that…

Oh, brother… my father still wants me married off. Not so easy at my age. Of course, I could've been married long ago if not for my mother scaring every prospect away when she was alive. Sometimes I think she's haunting me, determined to ensure I stay single. At least until I find someone who's rich (I guess she wanted me to marry a rich woman… yech).
I'm pretty sure that one day my marriage will ensue when a woman knocks me out by hitting me behind the head with a blunt object, then drags me off to the Justice of the Peace… or something like that…
What if that mighty lion compoased robot Voltron was piloted by Australians? What sort of enemies would they face? How would they socialize? For those of you who don't know who that robot is…
From what I can see, an Australian Voltron probably won't be formed by lions. Most likely Kangaroos. And it won't use a "Blazing Sword". Rather…
If Voltron was Australian it would be composed entirely of giant bear cans and the blazing sword would be an enormous flaming cock that it would beat people about the head with while laughing drunkenly and saying things like "take that you f%#&ing wanker! harharhar! Dickhead" -_- We all know this to be true, especially my fellow Aussies.
Oh, but the "Black Lion" in the middle would be a giant Vegemite jar.- It's black and a byproduct of beer. This is preordained. By 2050, Australia WILL have a giant beer-based fighting mecha with automatic cock weaponry and we will proceed to conquer New Zealand and then… THE WORLD!
Hmmmm, My aunt is really into the Genealogy thing, or was at any rate. I have ancestors that fought (for the Confederacy) in the American Civil War, I have European Blue Blood from several lines, including French Royalty. I can even trace my lineage back to about 47 AD. What my family tree lacks in interesting persons, it makes up for in volume (seriously, this thing takes up at least two 4-inch d-ring binders (thats about 10 cm for those of you not stuck with archaic measurements)).
And as they say, quantity has a quality all of its own.
Oh yeah I almost forgot, I am now a (hopefully) 4-time GM of the DD Mafia Games. I am known as the Dark Lord Salsa, and I am looking for Minions to staff my dungeon and vic-I mean security consultants to test my traps and stuff. If this sounds like fun to you then sign right up, No experience necessary.
(I guess she wanted me to marry a rich woman… yech).
Well that doesn't sound too 'yech'. Actually before mom knew I was gay she was always saying "I'd rather you marry a rich lesbian than a poor man". Thanks for encouraging me to become a golddigger mom~

I say that from my own experience with such women. Most of them sit on pedastals higher than me… and I'm sitting pretty deep in the sewer to them…

I suggest attacking China's Tsingtao Beerbot as it will probably be another cheap knockoff, complete with a [spoiler]very undersized[/spoiler] Phallus Sword. New Zealand will probably be prepared for Australia's Vegemite powered Beerbot with its own Marmitetron… complete with their Marmite Fusion Cannon!
All family trees are enormously massive, when you can trace them, because none of us came from the void, and because the tree is actually inverted: it expands down from YOU, not out from some lone ancestor, which is an utterly illogical way of visualising it. Since: - YOU are your own logical end/starting point - You have no idea how far back you can trace. - And of course those breeding pairs obviously just double and double as you go further back up the tree, getting into the thousands and millions… The only break on that is interbreeding, which tangles the branches nicely :) ————–
Aussie Voltron will SMASH your silly trees with his flaming cock of destruction. Then drink a giant beer and vomit.
The only country where drinking can be worked into all situations.
There is no one greater!
————- Oh Lonne… Marmite is clearly inferior- It doesn't taste beary enough. QED! Aussie Voltron wees on the Marmitetron.
Heh… and here I thought the U.S. and Germany were the only nations that could work drinking into ANYTHING!!! I guess I'll add Australia to that list…
Um…
*waits for a native New Zealander to answer the Beerbot challenge… assuming DD has any…*

Wow… 4:30 PM and it's hot… all I want to do is lie down and sleep it all off. Oh, well… at least I got my tire fixed. Whoever invented the "donut tire" should be thrown down a bottomless pit. Driving on that tire was harsh. The car pulling hard to one side (the side with tire on it) whenever I tried to slow down, needing more stopping space when raining, etc… Maybe when I can finally get a spare tire that's actually a spare tire I'll use this donut tire as part of a very strange beer drinking table. For my beer drinking guests, that is. I personally don't drink beer. Especially after finding out one of my uncles literally drank himself to death… O_O

You know, I don't think I've run into a New Zealander on the DD forums.
Didn't you know? Part of the citizenship test for Australia you have to drink a litre of proper Aussie beer in under half a minute, as well as eating a packet of Timtams in five minutes along with Pavlovas, Lamingtons and fairybread.
In fact, one of our Prime Ministers, Hawk, actually holds the world record for drinking some rediculous amount of beer (yard glass I think) in under half a minute.
I'm sorry Oz, but I can't take Vegemite seriously any more since I learnt that it was actually bought by America in the 30's and is technically no longer Australian :(
And the fact that Vegemite taste's like Neptune's salty butt hole.
Vegimit is yummy! Enough of your Neptunian butthollery! -The trick is never to eat it fresh- You must leave it to mature like a good wine. ^_^

Not technically true at all really. The companies just had diversified overseas interests… It was more like ohaving a controlling share in a number of businesses in companies that had share iin a number of companies that have share in something else that make food somewhere else. Even today it's still always just continued as a local product with the same label all these years- Kraft foods back then wasn't the same sort of company it is today. Eeven now Vegemite is WAY more Aussie than something like Holden is or has ever been.
I like Vegemite ^__________^
…All our New Zealanders are gorrrn… prolly the Christchurch earthquake :(
Just posted the rest of the current chapter of malefic, feels good to have it done. next one feels really daunting and while I want to crack on with it I feel like taking a break from it. But my mind is on it and I can get into doing anything else. frustrating.
I know that feeling. I have 28 more pages of Mask of the Aryans complete and plenty of time but will I start the first Robofemoid sequel? Nope, too into Mask.

OH HO! Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now I don't feel so bad about it.
But I still think it tastes like Neptune's Salty Butthole, which is far better than Marmite however. That stuff tastes like I have a hairy old man in my kitchen, and every morning I put toast underneath him and say "All right frank, do what you do best!"
I'm so unaustrlaian to dislike Vegemite.
But its cool, I make up for it by eating lots of tim-tams and using swear words as adjectives.

Finished Mettaur's Mafia request. I don't take requests usually, but I really liked the idea he came up with, along with the characters he suggested. I mean, Mad Hatter and a Mafia Godfather in the one picture? Hectic! Plus, he drew me a little something as payment, which was very nice of him.
I'd post it here, but I'm becoming a bit of a forum whore… so maybe not.
Last request for a while though, I've got more important stuff to do, like… Essays and Assignments and comics and breathing. Breathing is important.
Ok Oz, you totally have to bring me vegemite when you come to the States. I've been hearing about this stuff for like, four years or something. It's time.

be warned, it is certainly an unusual taste, not for the faint hearted.

Eh, I tend to like unusual tastes. And I'll eat anything once. (heh.) I just want to put an end to the maromite vs. vegemite debate that's torn me asunder for years. Having never tried vegemite… I.JUST.DON'T.KNOW.
Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. Vegemite is firmer and slightly sweeter than other yeast extracts.
Marmite is a savoury spread made from yeast extract, also a by-product of beer brewing, but doesn't include the vegetable and spice additives. It is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive and powerful taste.
They're similar, but dear god, there is a huge taste difference.

Step 1. Find and Australian. Step 2. Find an Englishman. Step 3. Ask them for their savoury spreads. Step 4. Spread on toast. Step 5. Try not to die. Step 6. ????? Step 7. PROFIT!

That, madame, is my plan indeed. Hence the request for savory spreads. >:)
