It's 2:25 AM.

I'm not sure what I'm doing. God damn it's dark in here.

I keep asking myself, "Why?"

And I keep responding, "Why not?" That's how my mind usually operates. It makes sense, on some level.

They shouldn't have left me with a fully stocked freezer.

I just ate two frozen pizzas and a microwavable philly cheese steak sub sandwich smeared with yellow mustard. I think I have colon cancer now. It hurts.

So bad.

But.

Not nearly as much.

As loving you.

!?

404!

Good night.


That's rather poetic happy.gif

Anyone can make fun of an Australian. A real Aussie, that is, not an immigrant from a European or Middle Eastern or Asian country. Hell, just real Aussies. Immigrants of any sort aren't Aussies anymore! You have to have been here at LEAST a few generations.

But anyway.
Edit: .... not that I'm sure there was a topic here.


With that sort of thinking, I would only consider real Aussies people who have been there for over 30k years. With that criterion, you would not fit the bill either.

Best satire is Canadian satire.

Oi, I've been trying to find this for years. My TiVo wishlist runs dry and my torrent search weeps salty tears. It's been years and years since I've seen Talking To Americans, and my stomach still hurts from laughing. (I always wondered, is it funnier for me, or for Canadians, watching?) Someone force someone, at gunpoint if necessary, to make this available!

You guys get no say for all the igloo and snow stuff, yeesh thinking crossing an imaginary line will suddenly cause you to step into blizzards. We got less snow than Buffalo last year!



I -wish- we get snow here in the tropics. sad.gif

No one gets to complain but me, cuz I live in ze hellhole. Las Vegas is not fun in the summer, and the drivers get stupider than they already are in the rain. Idiots...Highest leading cause of death in Vegas is people not knowing the right of way. And I also have to eat more and drink more liquids beause if I don't I give myself headaches...

I said a few generations, not five hundred. My great-grandparents were immigrants in their time, but my grandparents and parents certainly weren't. Not to mention that Aboriginal great-great-great-grandmother I had... so oops, I guess I'm a real Aussie after all. I can trace one of my family lines back to the originals.

Why do I get the feeling Guido's not sober when I read this...


My first thought was the same. It certainly sounds like drunken blatherings.

Clips from the season that just ended:

I'm sure CBC sells the tapes really cheaply, too, but their online shop doesn't seem to have 'em. There's a number you can call, somewhere...

"Congratulations, Canada, on your first mile of paved road!" (It's funnier for Canadians, watching.)
