Let's Celebrate Australia Day!




If someone cuts down a tree for their view in Australia, government installs a sign to block the view --

[That's actually a damn good idea --
defeating the benefit of illegal acts
removes the incentive to do them.]




And now, as a public service, here is
an instructional video on
"How To Eat An Australian Meat Pie" --


Love you Aussies!
Seriously!
Enjoy your National Day!

  11. I've never been to Australia (more's the pity) but after consuming the information here, if not a meat pie, it seems to me that Australia and Florida have a great deal in common.

  13. That video was HILARIOUS! Just what I needed to see after landing on depressing videos and blogs about the latest ICEstapo incident. Yesterday's Robbie post and today's Meat Pie post is helping to keep me sane during an insane time.

  15. Aussies got the better deal! Can't argue with that...
    Yeah, I would be ever so slightly terrified to go to Australia since everything can kill you. My god, the spiders alone are terrifying!

  17. Jeebus wasn't nailed to a boomerang: AHAHAHAHAHA! Aussies and Canadians also share a great sense of humour, so we did get the better deal from England!

  19. I really want to visit one day but I have you heard of Margot Robbie's story of a giant snake just entered their home and almost strangled her mom. And don't even get me started on the mutant bugs.. eek.

  20. I love the map and would love to see Australia and New Zealand some day. I may never, but it is good to still dream.

  21. These memes are terrific and great fun! It's a country that has always intrigued me.

  22. I wish we'd gotten the criminals. Maybe we wouldn't have people thinking the felon in the White House is the messiah.

    Love,

  23. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I've been reading about the atrocities in Minneapolis and was ready to cry. This helped a lot. Try to find some footage of Aussies eating meat pies at a footy match to see how it's really done.

  24. With all due respect to the good people of Australia, I think I'll skip that meat pie.

  25. Soon there will another mass migration to AU. This time from the US.

  26. Too scared to go to Australia (but love them all).

  27. Love the one where the guy is talking to "skippy" All good though.

  30. What's the difference between a Canadian and an Australian? Canadians say the full words for EVERYTHING! No servo, rego, bottlo, arvo, smoko or convo and certainly no sangas, maccas or slackers.

    1. @ Yorkshire Pudding -- Yes, I think that's true. We prefer just giving things goofy nicknames, like loonie, twoonie, double-double, jambuster and bunnyhug.
