Wombat shit. You're full of Trolls---it's just people laugh better when they get into a tizzy, or act like they're tough guys not little pricks.
I'll always kinda like Australia, though, [[even though it IS MYTHICAL, a whole thread about that]] for 4 reasons:
I met a cool as shit dude from there at a NATO thing...technically y'all aren't part of it, but a bunch of you were there. Slamming Greek booze [Ouzo] with an Aussie on a road trip is something everyone should do.
Mad Max [even if Max is a fucking SHIT in real life]
At an eco-thing, met an aboriginal woman after she presented a paper...and proceeded to have roughly 1/2 an hour of the most mind bending conversation about language/poetry/culture of my entire damn life.
She broke my damn brain...I'd guess at least 1/4 of my "method" "style" "presentation" is connected to her one way or another.
The Coca Cola Kid. [[I know, not entirely y'all---American lead, Czech or Romanian or something director---but Tim Finn, and largely, but not entirely this scene/song:

I hear ya V .. thats one for us .. I think Aussies dont take shit that seriously .. seriously enough .. but we are brilliant at laughing at ourselves and ... well others. We find shit funnier than some nationalities. Must be the Brit thing. We love satire .. but even though we do have a bigoted, conservative, extremely religious demographic .. I think theyre a minority .. as our recent marriage equality .. umm survey .... or disgraceful marriage equality shit fight overwhelmingly proved. For the most part we believe in giving people a fair go.
And we can drink
.. we must have evolved stronger livers than you light weights .. lol
Im pushing 57 this year but I wager I could drink you all under the table
Aussies and for that matter Brits are a ball to go out with ... ugh you get your aggressive drunks of course .. but mostly just raising the roof great fun. And we arent afraid to make a right royal fool of ourselves. And most if fuck up .. will pay it and move on. Thats been my experience.. in policing and generally.
Of course we got the narcissist, psychpathic, criminal element, and all that nasty shit ..
Thats very cool about that experience you had chatting to that .. indigenous Australian woman
I hope we do change the date of Australia Day, it would be unAustralian not to imo.
Mmm .. trolls .. yeah covered that ... drinking .. check ..
Yup think I covered all bases.
