Possibly moving to Australia

Nice job LP.

What do Koalas taste like?

 

[silentangst]

Well, I'll tell you what it's like. I walk outside in Summer, and it's pretty hot. Then I walk inside and look at the calendar and go"Hmmm... it's December 12th, what was I supposed to do today?" If it turns out the thing I was supposed to do is go to work, I usually do that. If it's not a work day, I might go to the beach, or hang out and drink with friends, or just relax and read a book.

It certainly is crazy town!

Regarding dangerous animals, the population of the country was 22,497,961 at time of posting. If it was half as dangerous here as people who watch Crocodile Dundee think, without taking the time to visit the country and form their own opinions, then the population would likely be much less. You want dangerous, swallow some condoms packed with heroin and declare it to customs coming into Thailand at the airport after exiting your plane.

If people live in an area with crocodiles, they don't swim in the water (generally). If they live in an area with box jellyfish, they generally don't go to the beach when they're seasonally around. If they get bitten by a snake, which happens rarely, obviously not an issue in cities, they go to the hospital and get antivenom. Our most dangerous spider is the Funnel-Web which has not killed a single person since 1981 in which the antivenom was first synthesised. So yeah, if they get bitten by a spider, they go to the hospital.

As for the cool accent, we practice it to make us look like an awesomely fun, friendly, and cool holiday destination so people from overseas can come and ask us stupid and inane questions.

Are you from America? What's it like having a bear in every suburban backyard? How do you walk down the street without getting murdered and mugged on every sidewalk? I once watched a movie in which people have some heroin and die. Have you ever done this, I assume everyone must do it all the time.

Yes, for your final question Australia is exactly like Mad Max. Our police all drive around watching people have sex through the telescopic lenses of their rifles. Women holding babies are regularly run down by hoodlums on motorcycles. Do you have any other retarded questions?

Would you like me to go turn the tap on? The water actually ran down the sink specifically as per the shape of the basin working in conjunction with the force of gravity. AMAZING! That never happens every day.

That was brilliant.

[NickyJ]

most people tend to understand that if more citizens own guns=less violent crime.

 

[silentangst]

Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either.

 

[eggman]

^ Well...

Y = B1 + B2Xt + e

where -

Y = Number of violent crimes commited

B1 = 0.4
B2 = -2.0

X = number of guns, there for -

With every unit increase in guns violent crime falls by 2

see, its easy

 

[lostNfound]

Y are you combining your B vitamins with your e's.
Did this board teach you nothing

Yes, actually he was my next door neighbour. He wasn't actually killed by a sting ray. I stabbed in him the heart with a kitchen knife for being an annoying, hyperactive, dangerous douche bag, and presenting the nation overseas as being full of fucktards. The police helped me cover it up with the stingray story because I knew about their misappropriation of federal property (ie. using sniper rifles to perve on copulating couples).

Here's my brief review of his wife's horrible post-death book:

My Steve by Terri Irwin

A stupid book aimed at the kind of people who enjoyed his shows for reasons other than watching the twat get bitten by things.

Full respect to the guy for his conservation efforts, but all in all, he was still a hyperactive douche.



Terri should have taken a creative writing course before jumping into this memorial. And grabbed hold of a dictionary.

On the other hand, writing an interesting book would probably have alienated its core demographic.

Hahahahahaha : )
Any thoughts on Bindi, LP?

Back again...

Didnt mean to abandon the thread guys......Im still working towards my goal of coming to Aus in just less than two years...Thanks for the advice so far.

So the plan I have now is to send out lots of resumes once I have my traveling money and have gotten the visa. I will probably be applying to wineries seeking line cooks/ sous chefs all over the country and hoping for that option, and to restaurants/hotels in Melbourne as well, as my mother has a friend from there.
Any thoughts?

As for the fun I plan to have, I have like 2, maybe three things I just gotta do.

1. Camp at Ayers rock

2. Check out Nimbin, I believe theres a Mardi Gras there?

3. Bush Doof......I gotta check out yalls party scene while im there!



So, thoughts, advice, questions?

 

[vanth]

These days it's generally referred to as Uluru rather than Ayers Rock, because that's the name given to it by the Traditional Owners, the Aboriginal people of that area. Also don't climb it, that's a dick move.

Sure thing dude, i was in Nimbim a few months ago, for the millionth time.. Yes they have a ''Mardi Grass''... tho its only held at certin time of the year...
Nimbin has turned a little sour over the years.. Violence has incressed, Drug related crime has gone up... Herion and other drugs have became more avaliable...
The place has become quite seedey unfortunatly, tho it is still definatly worth a look!!.. They have a ''Hemp Embassy'' (my favourite), Cannabis smoking cafe, A place called ''Bring-a-Bong headquarters''...hahaha.. List gos on.. And the country side is just Beautiful!
Just make sure you have some company!!! and go their during the day..
