Considering there's a 'I love EvBoard' thread, and countless other 'I love ____' ones as well, I thought why the hell don't we show our colours and be proud of our barren wasteland for a country.

So... whether it's your home town, state or the entire friggen country... why would you choose Aus over any other place in the world to live?

Because the people out here rule all. That's why ;)

heh. well . i was born here. :p no choice really.. :p

um. gold-coast . cos it's prolly one of the most easiest going place around ya go out into town .. lotsa happy ppl aboot. been here 23 years watched it changed big time. i'll leave those "other" thoughts . for another post :p .

oh look. go me. past the 400 mark :D hehe. i rock

Hmmmm Gold Coast is good, but no place can beat Brissie. Although 90% of the people up here are arseholes, it is still a lovely place. Plus, I live in Brissie so that automatically makes it cool :D

oh look. go me. past the 400 mark hehe. i rock
Yes you do *hands you a cookie* :p

everyones giving me cookies lately . what type of cookies are they?

Chocolate chip of course. Chocolate chip is the best. Chocolate chip pwns me, and it pwns the rest of you.

Meh... Australia's pretty nice. The people are cool, the weather's great, and the meat is relatively cheap. But it's a bit isolated, and the US is where it's all happening. I'll probably move there after my studies. Sorry to say that.

Hell yes,Aussie Pride!

I always get the Asian Pride stuff off've my friends but yet they can't explain to me what it is.It's the same as Aussie Pride isn't it? :p

Hmm I'm proud to live in Australia because.....from what I hear from overseas we are a cool bunch of people and we are really relaxed....and....I errmmm dunno what else.There's Big Day Out,there's our own cool accent,there's also ..... oh yeah and Australia has a lot of unrecognised talent.Well I'm proud to be an Aussie without a good reason :D *<----big vegemite smile*

Fuck cookies! Be a true Aussie and give him a biscuit - a Tim Tam preferably!! Aussies rule over the Yanks because our laws allow us to be able to drive and to 'legally' drink at the same age. What better reason can there be???? :D

EDIT: Besides we have the Miss Universe winner. ;)

HOLY FUCK! How did I forget Tim Tams?? :eek: Okay, both Tim Tams and Chocolate chip cookies pwn.

Don't forget Milo.



20 characters.

Mmmmmm yes, and Milo.

Okay, so we have awesome people, Tim Tams and Milo.

That's why everyone should live out here :D

don't forget awesome aussie bands :D

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v325/HearMeScreamin/timtam.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v325/HearMeScreamin/milo.jpg
Here we go guys, Tim Tams and Milo, the edible essence of Australia.

Mmmmmmmm.......mmmmmmm......

That picture said it all.

Everyone must live out here because of those two things.

*continues to drool*

What about the typical Aussie bbq?We use to have those a lot at my brothers house but its too cold to even go outside now.
Ahhh and the warped Aussie humour.

Ah yes...and another thing, we have the best comedy the world can offer in the form of Neighbours and Home and Away :D

Stone the flamin crows....

hehehehe.

a few aussie jokes.

http://www.ozjokes.com/

Oh my Neighbours and Home And Away are just a given.No show can beat comdey like that-well apart from Passions but thats American.

[e d i t]Thats right I'll just wait here for a new post :D

I love Australia, i wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love our weather, our comedy and the country in general. The only thing i think we lack, is good music... but other than that, it's all good :D

and don't forgot .. fear factory recorded their latest film clip in perth ;) . hehe.

Oh my Neighbours and Home And Away are just a given.No show can beat comdey like that-well apart from Passions but thats American.

HAHAHA I love Passions. That's the only show that beats The Bold and the Beautiful in terms of American comedy....

And hahaha thanks heaps for those Aussie jokes Chaos. The bumper stickers had me laughing for ages...

I had to search that ozzie joke page and see how many times a joke about NZ came up...ahem. lol
Search result: 1-12. Sheep shagging among them. :p hmph. What have we ever done to you guys??!! hey hey?! :p
I miss TimTams. I forgot about them, while being here in Belgium...ah, damn good stuff. Marmite is still better though. :p

I guess im proud to live here, although im in a bad part of the country...no matter :p

where aboots are ya hiding in this great land :D hehhehe

Argh...Tasmania....:(:(

I guess I'm kinda proud to live here...Most things are pretty good.

Though I hate tim tams and all of our tv shows and bands and I live in a ghetto (Dubbo) :(

I hope to move to America ASAP though :)

I love Australia i woulnt live anywhere else!!!

Hehehe I'm such a dork.

i guess i am proud to live here, no matter how much i despise living in Canberra, i dont think there is a better country than good old Aus!

EDIT: Besides we have the Miss Universe winner. ;)HAHAHHA! Too bloody right! TIM TAM! Biscuit!

You know what else is best about Australia?

The letter "u"!

Haha, see what I wake up to. You guys rule :p.

And Jadey, you are 100% right. One of the best things about Australia is our proper use of the letter 'u'.

Yes, the n00blet is correct. The letter 'u' has so many uses.

Colour, for example. Or ever Favourite. It's just not cricket without the 'u'.

**rolls around on the floor laughing**

So true!! :D That and the fact we appear to be the only beings in creation that can say the word "Australia" correctly. There seems to be the Queens version = Oooooostralia or the strangled-cat American version Oztralia or even worse, Ossies with a huge emphasis on the oss.

And I'm not even going to mention the slaughter of the word 'emu'.:rolleyes:

........or the strangled-cat American version Oztralia or even worse, Ossies with a huge emphasis on the oss.

Like that stupid car add where the Aussie's are driving around on Mars :mad:

Stupid add.

Hmm an Ev song as an anthem?What about Understanding ;) I think that would confuse a lot of people.

"........or the strangled-cat American version Oztralia or even worse, Ossies with a huge emphasis on the oss."

Like that stupid car add where the Aussie's are driving around on Mars :mad:

Wasn't that ad made here, with Aussie actors trying to imitate bad American accents?

Oh, aren't we though? I can't stand the whole "Ozzie" thing. Mate, it's "Aussie". *shakes head* And Emu ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. It's actually embarrassing when someone, usually an American, says E-moo! HA!

Now, you all might think this is the dumbest thing in the whole world, but I like it. *is proud to be Australian*

I came from the dreamtime from the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.

I came upon the prison ship bowed down by iron chains.
I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
I'm a settler.
I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man I became Australian.

I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian.

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
I paint the ghostly gums
I am Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian.

Now, you all might think this is the dumbest thing in the whole world, but I like it. *is proud to be Australian*

I came from the dreamtime from the dusty red soil plains......
I love that song!!! I feel more patriotic singing that song than the anthem. Not that I.....sing.....either of them that often but when I had to in school. I was a mimer in school, I never sung :)

Oh, aren't we though? I can't stand the whole "Ozzie" thing. Mate, it's "Aussie". *shakes head*


lol, life's sweet when you're an oss-ie

Ah well, I love this country - we have nice people (with exceptions of course), the best football and hell the weathers not too damn bad.

Do you guys think we're pretty laid-back? cause a lot of people get that impression...

Ok im canadian but I love aussies, oh and we can now buy milo here too :p

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

I love that song!!! I feel more patriotic singing that song than the anthem....


That's true.For some reason I want to cry when I hear that song.But I do agree thatthe national anthem should be changed.I know we are suppose to respect our heritage but I can't respect the anthem anymore than I do because it's really boring.Anyway...

I love that song!!! I feel more patriotic singing that song than the anthem. Not that I.....sing.....either of them that often but when I had to in school. I was a mimer in school, I never sung :)
The Anthem sucks ass! I mean, you it's our national anthem and I actually know the words :shock: but it's old and boring. But, we are one but we are many, I love that one /dr0k.


Do you guys think we're pretty laid-back? cause a lot of people get that impression...

HAHAH! Hell yes. I don't think we're as uptight as some other nations. Hmmm, if Justin Timberlake has flashed Janet Jackson's boobies at the AFL or NRL grand finals I think most Aussies would have laughed their asses off and that would have been the end of it.

Ok im canadian but I love aussies, oh and we can now buy milo here too :p

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE
Really? Do you like Milo? HAHA, can you get Vegemite as well? A lot of my North American friends are too scared to try it. ;)

OI OI OI

I love Vegemite.A lot of my friends don't but they were born overseas.So maybe it's just our unique Aussie tastebuds.

Australia's a great country. :D I love and am very proud to be an Australian. Yeahh..Go Australia!

Down Under

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

:cool:

Totally the taste buds me thinks.

Why?

Cos we're happy lil vegemites, as bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our mummies say we're growing stronger every single week.
Because we love our vegemite.
We all enjoy our vegemite.
It puts the rose in every cheek.

*bows, thank-you, thank-you*

;)

OMFG. You made me want to lock this thread with that song Jade...

I'm not Australian. It's true. I fuckin' hate Vegemite.

*hangs head*

Awesome song.It could be a contestant in 'Australian Anthem Idol'.Auditions are now open to be the next Australian Anthem.

**Hugs Lir**

Its okay. My twin sister (identical) hates the stuff too. Funny, how we can share the same features, same music, same movies, but we appear to have unidentical tastebuds.

I admit I can only eat it very very lightly spread and has to be in combination with a liberal dose of butter. I can never understand the people who have Vegemite with a side of bread.

So for the charge of unAustralianess by refusing to eat the holy-est of holy foods, I sentence you to be pelted with olives and your debt to society will be paid ;)

...............I admit I can only eat it very very lightly spread and has to be in combination with a liberal dose of butter. I can never understand the people who have Vegemite with a side of bread............

Okay that I can agree with.Vegemite without butter or margarine is kinda boring.

I'm happy I didn't refuse to eat the ,
...holy-est of holy foods...
Olives aren't that bad but being pelted with them would hurt.

hehe... melbs the best city. i never wanna move (unless i go overseas)
their now showing ads about us being voted the most liveable city in the world (thats right... melb is number one! cop that! :P)
about bloody time too.. hehe, i knew about the number one city thing at the beginning of the year!
the one thing that i hate about melb is that they never show melb storm on tv... even when their interstate!! and if they do... its delayed at like midnight grrr... bloody channel nine and fox sports :P

i think you'll find .. majority of the states in every country .. has ad's saying that their state is better than everyone elses. so really . it's weird. i dunno. i believe i wanna go live in Oxnard, California . cos i got a fwend over there and she rocks. :( . but i got too many friends here. so i do believe i'm staying :) . AUS YOU RULE >

lets make a special Aus day. i saw we make it next monday !! next monday is Happy Aus Mc'Ev'day

Okay, I hate Vegemite. However native animals are cool, we have great beaches, weather isn't too bad for the most part and the people are'nt as annoying as many countries seem to have. Yeah, go Aussie Pride, rofl

u c aus kiss ass because simply of ... pavlova, lamingtons, and those funny hats with the dangly cork things coming off 'em.
i mean seriously tho not any person from any country and convince a dumb blonde american thet they ride a kangaroo 2 k to school every day but thats seriously the image of aus so you may as well have some fun with it.
:p

criticly bored - gren =)

........i mean seriously tho not any person from any country and convince a dumb blonde american thet they ride a kangaroo 2 k to school every day....

:D Yeah my kangaroos name is Sparky.Jokes.Obviously.

Our native animals kick ass.I love the Koala,it's so furry.But even though galas and cockatoos are so pretty they wake me up all the time!Not nice of them.

Why I Love Australian English by HearMeScreamin'

I love the way we have the amazing ability to turn one vowel into three when speaking.

I love the way we shorten words down as far as they can go (mozzie, pressie, chrissie, postie, choccy, barbie (BBQ not plastic), agro (agressive, not the puppet), alco and arvo)
Eg. "I had a hissie at the hossie" = I had a histerectomy at the hospital

I love the way we have the unique ability to nickname anyone.
(Darran - Dazza, Michael - Mick, Barry - Bazza, Anyone with red hair - Bluey, Sharon - Shazza, then you have your Boof's, shorty's (tall people), Curly's (people with straight hair), Davo's, Smithy's, etc.

In conclusion, the Australian variety of English is FUN :)

:D

All very true.

I actually had a next door neighbour named Sharon and all you hear is her husband yelling,'Shazza!Bring the kids inside now!'Oh they were the best neighbours we ever had.

i have a neighbour named sharon . have to start calling her shazza .. lol . but she's really loud n noisy. i should like do something to get even. she's getting kicked out soon so :( . no more shazza

Alright i'm also a complete dr0k.

I love vegemite... in any amounts

I love to sing "I am, You are, We Are Australian" or any Australian song, especially on Australia Day.

I also love that we spend the entire Australia Day making our way down to the fireworks, then sit there 4 hours drinking alcohol, watch 10 minutes of fireworks... then pack it all up and make our way home. (Thats what happens here anyway) :p

I am so fuckin proud at Olympics and any sporting event when our flag is raised and the National Anthem is played and you can hear the Aussies singing loud and clear in the crowd :D

*points to Why I Love Australian English by HearMeScreamin' post*
I couldn't have summed it up any better myself

and there's nothing i love better than watching a great game of AFL :D

*****

What ChaosBererich said is true though, it's natural to think our state is the 'better' one, but if someone said a part of Iraq was a 'better' part... I wouldn't move an inch. It's Australia as a whole that makes each place a desirable place to live... so fuck yea go Australia!!! :D

Oh yeah, and i love our acceptance of slang... it's 'Fuckin Ay'!!!
The way it can be used in such a friendly way...
eg. "come here ya fucker" = "I haven't seen you in ages!!!"

- Teh Australian Goat :D

fuck that was an essay and a half :eek:

fuck that was an essay and a half :eek:
Yes, but it was a very good essay :D

After reading that I have come to this conclusion:

Holy fuck us Aussies rule.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

OI OI OI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats another thing... hehehe everyone around the world knows our chant :D

edit: who votes we Sticky this thread!

Ahhhh... me and me? :p

I just thought of another one.

I love the way that we are recognised worldwide for being a sportsmad nation, but when our teams win/lose/draw we are just about the only country that does NOT riot :D

EDIT: WOOT!! 200th post :D **breaks out the fireworks and beer (only Aussie beers of course, in keeping with the thread)**

hahaha omg YES!!!!!!!
it's so true, we are a sports crazy country, but we are good sports :D
*is watching the Bledisloe Cup* Go Wallabies!!!

happy 200th post btw :D

I don't like sports.Especially football.It makes me crazy.

But I like watching a good game of cricket,one day I'll learn how to play it properly.But the backyard one at our bbq's will do for now.

Backyard cricket is like, a MUST!

As is "marks up" for any one from SA/Vic/WA/NT/Tas and maybe AFL fans in NSW and OLD.

Has anyone mentioned....beetroot yet? :D

I love beetroot,especially when mixed with mayonaise.

What about the typical Aussie thongs?I like wearing thongs except my feet are stuffing up because of it-sorta.

Has anyone here seen Puberty Blues?The surf/chick flick made in Cronulla?I won a copy of the dvd from Chick (now 'Chik') magazine.That is like the true aussie teenage girl life :rolleyes:

[e d i t]I'm slow,I just realised you'se did make this a sticky. :p

we are the only place in the world that says
"you's" :D

\m/ go the THONGS!!!!!
you get strange look in other places when you say "i'm just going to slip some thongs on my feet" hehehe :D

Tee hee, gotta love this thread. It's Mike! yay!
Gawd beetroot is DA BOMB! My Grandparents grew beetroot in their backyard and when they'd come and visit they'd bring it and i'd make triple decker beetroot sandwiches. Vegemite is yucky, Promite is waaayy better, even though it isn't Australian.Tim Tams!!!mmmmm.lol thongs. When Aussie's go overseas, it's best to refer to thongs as 'flip flops' because people might get the wrong idea. Why do people always assume that we are 'laid back'? What exactly does that mean? MILO!!!! I love Milo.It's way better than that Nesquick stuff. We can't miss out the awesome Aussie bands can we? TBE,MM9, KH, LE, Jet, TM, etc etc. I rekon EV should just come live here, I mean they've basically lived their entire lives in the US and well Aus, it just sooooo much better. Going (down) Under should definately be our national Anthem. I don't like many of our national songs but I can be heard singing 'I still call Australia home' on the odd occasion. We can't pelt Lir with Olives because they are native to Greece and Rome. We have to use something Aussie, like.....VEGEMITE or TIM TAMS. Melbourne the most livable city in Australia? ppfftt. Does anyone find it weird that margarine can make you blind? lol Aussie slang. Is Lir really banned or has he just put that in his display name to make himself popular?

I just want to be cool :-(

And

Cover me in Tim Tams and feed me to Bad Girls Australia!!!

we are the only place in the world that says
"you's" :D

\m/ go the THONGS!!!!!
you get strange look in other places when you say "i'm just going to slip some thongs on my feet" hehehe :D
Thongs rule! That's all I wear on my feet. People say I look like a bogan, always wearing thongs wherever I go, but as if I care....they rule.

Backyard cricket is like, a MUST!
Ah yes, I used to love playing that...I especially loved nearly twonking my brother in the head with our substitute cricket ball :D

Cover me in Tim Tams and feed me to Bad Girls Australia!!!
*does exactly that*

Now someone, cover me in Milo and feed me to Manpower!

I just want to be cool :-(

And

Cover me in Tim Tams and feed me to Bad Girls Australia!!!
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehee. I'd rather be dipped in toffee then covered in Tim Tams.lol. *gets mental image of Lir being torn apart by bikini models deprived of food*.

We rule b/c we take over the Evanescence irc channel like no other country... lol if 5 americans, English, Canadians, or any country for that matter no one would notice that much... but Australians take over irc like no other country can, it's all about style and grace :D

another good thing about aus . is it's Aussie Goats. now they rule

another good thing about aus . is it's Aussie Goats. now they rule
fark yea \m/
right on, we have all the goaty goodness!!!

We have goats? :eek:

We have goats? :eek:
... do we have goats? ... do we have goats?
of course we have goats!!!!!!

goaty goodness.. hehehehe goat milk

Hmmm interesting....goats.

Well today when I was looking at evboard from school I remembered our Aussie icons,like the Sydney Harbour Bridge,and Uluru (I think thats wrong :confused: ).What do [old timme english accent]ye all think of them[/otea]?

not as good as goats .. when they make the goat bridge n goat mountain is when i'll visit uluru

not as good as goats .. when they make the goat bridge n goat mountain is when i'll visit uluru
what if i go there... do i count as a goaty enough landmark :D

but none the less i do love our landmarks.... we have a diverse range of them, from buildings and structures like The Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge... and then we have very cultural things such as Uluru.
Even if there may not be as many as other countries, they're pretty neat none the less. I think that Australia on a whole is a landmark worth seeing :)

and don't forget to check out the goats while yer here

and the roo's

Hehehe Goats!!! Emma's specialty. I like sheep better than goats. Sheep are nicer to hug and are easier to catch. If you try to hug a goat they'll spear you with their horns so sheep are nicer to hug, plus they're fluffier. Uluroo or however you spell it reminds me of a huge red jelly. Isn't the Barrier Reef an Aussie Landmark too? Is goat milk nicer than cow milk? WE AUSSIE'S RULE THE IRC!!BOOYAH!!!FEEL THE LOVE!!I'M FEELING THE LOVE!!ARE YOU FEELING THE LOVE?

TO me there is only one good thing in Melbourne ;)

Melb would be way better if it wasn't so cold coz from last weekend I have peeling hands now

hehe... melbs the best city. i never wanna move (unless i go overseas)
their now showing ads about us being voted the most liveable city in the world (thats right... melb is number one! cop that! :P)
about bloody time too.. hehe, i knew about the number one city thing at the beginning of the year!
the one thing that i hate about melb is that they never show melb storm on tv... even when their interstate!! and if they do... its delayed at like midnight grrr... bloody channel nine and fox sports :P

i know what ya mean man. . it's hell cold n stuff. it's weird. but like i stayed at my ex gf's new place. and i was frozen solid. she's up brisbane way. damn . the gold coasts afternoon coldness is their 12pm . totally weird. but hey. that's Aus for ya. weird. :D

hows my new avatar ? ya like ? hehehe.

oh another thing aussie i love is it the aussie alcohol n stuff :D

Aussie beer.Even though I don't drink I think it's wicked that Aussie beer has rated highly amongst others.Go the old VB.

we got voted best beer apparently

Oh hell yes!Best Aussie beer all the way mate.

well i'm not much of a beer drinking . but when it comes to spirits i'm probably a Ouzo or vodka person.

oh another thing that's aussie. Bundy Rum . hehehhe

Bunderberg Ginger Beer *drools like a waterfall*

I love that ginger beer.

mmmmmmmm rad man. oh i voted for you :p *looks at sig*

Cheers,thanks for that ;)

that's ok.. :) oh oh . you know what i love aboot this country. the awesome people. like the ones we find on here :) you guys rock ya's keep me sane . seriously ya's do.

LANO & WOODLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YEA!!
Did you hear about how that actress from Legally Blonde was murdered, Reese something..?
With-a-spoon
No with a knife
lol
Also gotta love Corinne Grant, Peter Helliah (sp), Dave Hughes and Wil Anderson.
All this Aussie Pride stuff is giving me ideas. I've been thinking about when/if Ev come back here, spraypainting fences and signs and the backs of airport chairs with 'Welcome to Australia Evanescence', just to make them feel special.

I think we're all forgetting something here.

Bananas in Pyjamas.

Hell yes!

I remember when they were huge, back when I was in grade six. Everyone had Bananas in Pyjamas bags, pencil cases, lunchboxes...

Bananas in Pyjamas pwns.

Damn right they pwn all.

I have a glow in the dark Bananas in Pyjamas t-shirt. It's like, ubercool.

Banana's In Pyjamas......I remember them from when I was little.

Does anyone remember Fat Cat?I don't think that is the correct name but it was a man dressed as a big ginger cat in red suspenders.That was my fav. Aussie kid show from when I was little.I even got a toy of it!
What else was there.....well I don't really like today's Aussie kids shows.Look at Hi-5.I met Nathan at a local Youth show.He was alright but geesh....Way too out there.

Aaahahah.

I've got an old MAD magazine here somewhere that described in detail the death of Fat Cat. I think he got a little canine instincts in him and chased after a moving vehicle, on a highway. :p

something i love about aus. is it's cheap medications :D paid $3 for mine today heheh

Does anyone remember Fat Cat?I don't think that is the correct name but it was a man dressed as a big ginger cat in red suspenders.That was my fav. Aussie kid show from when I was little.I even got a toy of it!

lol i remember that, and for some reason i remember a toy as well......

(slightly off topic, but i just wanted to add that i remember watching Gumby as a kid - not australian as far as i know, but still, gumby rocks)

Lano and Woodley are awesome! I haven't seen their show in ages...it's a pitty....it always has little things that are just plain stupid that u can't help but laugh at....ahhh good times.

aussie's have a great sense of humour in my eyes.

Lano and Woodley are awesome! I haven't seen their show in ages...it's a pitty....it always has little things that are just plain stupid that u can't help but laugh at....ahhh good times.
Mwahahahahaha i'm going to see them live mid-August *dances* :D
that should be quite humerous!!!

omg Fat Cat!!!!
I remember him... yea, funny guy indeed... went to bed a bit early for my liking but hey, whatever floats ya boat ;)

OMG! FAT CAT! I loved that, but I don't remember Fat Cat doing that thing on TV at about 7ish PM, saying goodnight to all the boys and girls.

Now, what about another great Channel Seven show...

Cartoon Connection and Agro. HAHAHHA! OMG!

(slightly off topic, but i just wanted to add that i remember watching Gumby as a kid - not australian as far as i know, but still, gumby rocks)
OMFG!!I REMEMBER GUMBY, HE IS SO AWESOME. He may not be Aussie but he's BLOODY COOL! So is Mr. Squiggle and Johnson and Friends. I was never a banana's in pyjamas person, they scare me. Pfftt Agro, he was always really mean and that Stacey lady that was with him looked Stoned alot. I don't remember this Fat Cat but I do remember Humphrey B Bear, he was cool.
C.O.T-Does anyone like Neon Genesis? I saw an episode the other night and I loved it, can anyone help me find out more about it or where I can find some stuff about it?

I loved Johnson and Friends!!I liked the waterbottle.....Alfred was it?And the musical instrument.Ohh I wish that was still on.
I remember Humphrey too!It's just after last century he went a bit too....boring....and then he left.Ohhh well.

you know what.. we missed the best thing that happens once a year. :)
(yes there's also aussie day)
it's the Big Day Out !!!!!!!!!!!! :D hehehe where aussie bands can show us their stuff :D hehehe

you know Ev would go off at a big day out :)

:eek:





I'm praying so hard that HIM get asked to play at Big Day Out next year.I will crap my pants if they do.And if Ev go well then thats just a bonus.But I have a feeling it isn't really their thing.I dunno.I'd rather just go see them at their own concert.I think they'd all be more relaxed and not feel rushed to go to the next band.
But thats just my opinion.


[e d i t]I just became a member![/e d i t]

Ummm, was Johnson and Friends all those toys in the bedroom, or something like that?

That now means, that alongside Canada, Australia stands as the #1 territory in the world for Evanescence, who have sold in excess of 12 million releases to hard rock lovers around the world!!
Well that my friends, is Aussie Pride :D

go team ;)

*hugs his aussie crew*

Fuck cookies! Be a true Aussie and give him a biscuit - a Tim Tam preferably!! Aussies rule over the Yanks because our laws allow us to be able to drive and to 'legally' drink at the same age. What better reason can there be???? :D

EDIT: Besides we have the Miss Universe winner. ;)

haha YES i agree with the 'ruling over yanks' bit MAHAHAHA... *cough* please don't kill me.
i love australia! I'm so proud to be an aussie ^_^ there's so much good stuff about us... but we r only human there are a few hmm how can i say...? oh meh i duno you know what i mean :D

mandaXx

I'm just going to blow into this thread because it has been AGES since I said g'day to any of my fellow Aussies!!

I hope my signature still works cause i have no idea how to edit it...

Damn right they pwn all.

I have a glow in the dark Bananas in Pyjamas t-shirt. It's like, ubercool.
Dude, I want one. Be a nice little Jadey and give me it. Now.


Ummm, was Johnson and Friends all those toys in the bedroom, or something like that?
YES! I loved that show. I used to watch it every afternoon.

That, along with Bananas in Pyjamas, pwns you all.

No, your sig doesn't work :(

TheTool, have a look at this post (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=16962 ). (under the sections: How can I get my own signature? Why are my posts not showing up right away?

I love all of Australia.. but I love some of the places near where I live. Burleigh Hill, Outer Mudgerebaa(fuck how do you spell that suburb) & Panorama have the best fucking views I've ever seen in my life, day & night.

Though I'm not a big fan of Surfers Paradise, there is always a diverse group of people there (though it seems more people belong to the 'wanker arrogent drunk guy' then anything else).

I love the pubs... it doesn't matter what part of Aus I'm in to love a pub. 9/10 there is live music, and most of the time it is pretty decent. Plus if you bump someone's drink, when you buy them another they are your best friend for life. Oh, and it's great fun trying to find your way out the back of some of them to take a piss in a drunken state. Yep.. I love the pubs.

And the greatest thing in all of the wide and diverse continent of Australia... Humble Pie Co. (http://www.miettas.com/Australia/New_South_Wales/Billinudgel/Humble_Pie_Co.html)'s Steak, Bacon & Cheese pie & a bottle of your favourite beer.

Sweeeeeet fuckin' heaven :p/

Dude, I want one. Be a nice little Jadey and give me it. Now.
Mwuahahah ! Ummm, sure you can have it, if you don't mind house paint all over it. :D

Well then, I too watched Johnson and Friends, but now it sounds like a Johnsons and Johnsons commerical.

*tries to think of other Aussie stuff*

No, SOUTH AUSSIE Stuff!

Our wines pwn all over the world. Yes.They.Do.

Haigh’s Chocolates - http://www.haighs.com.au/dir29/ws.nsf/Publish/126 - Far better than Cadbury. *foodgasms*

Balfours Frog Cake, you must have one! Coopers Brewery, I love that place. Humphrey B. Bear, is from Adelaide.

oh oh . another great thing aboot "Ev'stralia" is the rad Opal jewelry .. take this for example. something i'll be sending over for my american fwend jennifer for her 23rd b-day in november :) *giggles*

http://www.australianopals.com/images/r55xanaabb.jpg

More South Aussie stuffs!

Another thing I love about being an Aussie is people forgive you for your drunken antics online, simply because you are Australian and they think it's funny as hell.

:D

What I love about aussies the most:

The way they post on their LJ's after drinking tequila.

aaaahahaahahahahahaa

You two rock.

For keeping me company in IRC when I should be working.

*bows down and kisses teh goats and teh beauty's hands*

but i was ammusing another Aussie, does that count?

Of course I'll be cheering the Aussies on in Athens, but only if another country adopts, Ian Thorpe.

1. I'd like to see just how fast he swims WITHOUT the big black human condom.

2. There is a very fine line between Metrosexual and Homosexual, and I think he's walking that line. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but make up your mind already!!!)

3. Recent photos of him in airports. I'm sorry to tell you, Mr Thorpedo, but no, you are not a Rock Star, please remove your Bono glasses... now.

As for the rest of the Australian Olympic Team...

OI OI OI!

P.S. Tequila is... awesome! :P

2. There is a very fine line between Metrosexual and Homosexual, and I think he's walking that line. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but make up your mind already!!!)

Well, at least I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines....

i'd have to agree whole heartedly with those points.... he really is questionable in that area ;)
meh, he wins some medals so it's all good :whip:
hehehehee

lol...big black human condom...

lol...big black human condom...

Exactly what I was thinking.

.....1. I'd like to see just how fast he swims WITHOUT the big black human condom.....


How could you be more right? :p

Oh thank god! I wasn't the only person who thought that. I was worried to come back and find everyone throwing things at me for saying anything against the greatness of the Thorpedo.

You all rock, and that's why I love you, all. Aussie. Oi!

Actually, the best thing about the Olympics is going to be... *drum roll please...*

Bruce McAvaney.

Oh thank god! I wasn't the only person who thought that. I was worried to come back and find everyone throwing things at me for saying anything against the greatness of the Thorpedo.

I like to think of Australians w/ the Thorpedo like we are to the Queen.

'GET RID OF HER! WE DON'T WANT HER EITHER!' - screaming at the English

great. i've managed to offend TWO groups of people with two lines ^_^

Actually, the best thing about the Olympics is going to be... *drum roll please...*

Bruce McAvaney.

WHO?!

bwhahahahahahah Bruce McAvaney!!!!! Daniel.... the commentator guy, that does everything!!!

omfg that reminds me.... best thing about the Olympics guys.....

The Dream With Roy & HG!!!!!!

*will shoot anyone on site if they never watched that*

i'm sorry but, without them... the Sydney olympics would have been nothing!!! ;)

HELLO BOYS. omg that so rocked.

WHO!? Oh, right, yeah, he used to call the AFL when it was channel 7, and he did, well, a lot of the Sydney Olympic stuff... when he commentates, he sounds like he's umm, having a very, very good time... yeah.

ROY and HG, PWN!

Go FATSO!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/jadeakira/evboard/Fatso.gif

Okay, I just remembered something from the ummm, well when The Dream was at the Winter Olympics...

Roy and HG went out and had people help them with the Aussie weather and had a map for them to point to each city. Did anyone else see that? LMFAO! They messed up all the name, added fake city names and the poor people had no idea. HA! HA!

Of course I'll be cheering the auzzies in athens - but I agree with the stuff about Ian Thorpe. :D

The best thing about this country is it's so laid back and relaxed. Oh, and here in Brissie the weather is nice (usually!).

You two rock.
For keeping me company in IRC when I should be working.
*bows down and kisses teh goats and teh beauty's hands*
*Feels unspecial* Hey I'm always in IRC too, and I'm there when you call for Aussie invasions. *sad panda face*
Roy and HG are bloody awesome. I loved their stuff at the last winter Olympics. Speaking of Olympics, Bjork is rumoured to be opening or closing them. How the hell does Ian Thorpe's swim suit make him look like a giant, black condom?

.......Speaking of Olympics, Bjork is rumoured to be opening or closing them.....

WTF?!Where'd you hear that?That'd be so freaking cool.I love Bjork,matter of fact I was singing hyper-ballad in the shower this morning :p ;) :rolleyes:

My school was supporting the Japanese olympic team for the Aussie olympics.I was in the singing group.It was pretty cool go to the athletes village.But unfortuneately I never got to meet an Aussie olympian.So I can't be bothered really getting into the next olympics-they were inly interesting when they were here.

heheheh i now feel like going and watching my 2 'The Dream' tapes ;)
ahh man, the amount muscles i pulled from laughing whilst watching that show every night is incredible... the gymnastics commentary... Dick Pound... those stingy Australian rubber kangaroos where you could pull the arms and legs off... and of course Fatso The Big Assed Wombat, hehehe *watches tapes*

Now apart from Thorpey being a big black condom... are we gonna smash everyone (ie the Americans) like guitars in the pool again? ;)
I sure hope so, b/c i love the swimming events

oh how i loved the Sydney Olympics... no matter what, you were never far from an Australian Anthem, Waltzing Matilda being sung, or an Aussie chant going round a stadium :D

i just wanna say .. thanks to all you guys for keepin me sane in all this time of my crap past 4months :( . but i'm gonna take time off and not come on for ages . i'm going away for a bit to sort out my life. if u want me. ya should know how to get in contact with me.. if ya don't well then. blah . :(

Haha we never threw pies, we'd throw all sorts of other food though. But mostly we had water fights, and we never got caught because we sat in a secluded area :D The only bad thing was that water once got into my discman and fucked it up *mourns my kickarse discman* :p

So... I'm watching the Bledisloe Cup, Australia vs New Zealand and what song do they sing.... omg how could we've forgotten it.... i know a lot of people don't like it, but i love it :D



I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelin'
And I love bein' free
So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends.

And someday we'll all be together once more
When all the ships come back to the shore
Then I realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home.

No matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.

Go The Wallabies!!!!!

go the warrabies :D




stoopid 20 characters

w0000000000, GO THE WALLLLLABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations.I would feel very special indeed to know that one of my hundredth posts has been made in this thread.

I would just like to say one thing...JANA Pittman. Not Yana. C'mon, we should know how to spell out Aussies athletes names. :cool:

Ps. The symbolism behind the bumblebee tattoo on her stomach rawks :D

:eek: that was me :-X
heh, I didn't even realise i said Yana, *whacks head on desk* that was my bad :o

hehehe we down 0wn recovery :D .. i owned recovery once b4 .. people were shocked to see me up n about so quick


I only read that post at school and I was wondering why we were talking about the tv show!
Yes we recover quick but I drag it on for a bit so I can stay home.

recovery was a weird show too. don't hear much from dylan anymore . lol . hehehe oh well's ..

Vidiot. Did anyone watch that on the ABC? That show pwned all game shows, evar.

I know this was a few pages back but my Mum,sister-in-law and myself were lookingat old photos and I came across one with me in a Banana In Pj's pool.That was such a cool pool :rolleyes:

A Bananas in Pyjamas POOL!? Duuuude, that is way too cool for school!

I. Want. The. Bananas. In. Pyjamas. Pool. Now.

How many Gold medals are we going to win at the Olympics?

Ian Thorpe still annoys me.

As does Delta Goodrem.

Bananas in Pyjamas pwn all. We should all have Bananas in Pyjamas pools.

Aussies rule b/c when the shit hits the fan, they're there in large numbers to support one other

I have no idea.

Ian Thorpe is a metrosexual homosexual.

Delta Goodrem should go overseas and never return to our shores.

And Bananas in Pyjamas pwn everyone in this thread.

:D

Aussies rule b/c when the shit hits the fan, they're there in large numbers to support one other
HAHA! But it depends on how much shit hits the fan... ;)

HAHA! But it depends on how much shit hits the fan... ;)
the shit hit the fan, and stained the walls, to say the least

*makes emma clean it up cos that's the aussie way* get someone else to do it

......And Bananas in Pyjamas pwn everyone in this thread.

:D

True true.I'll find that pic and scan it when I can.

OMFG. You made me want to lock this thread with that song Jade...

OMGGGGGGGGGGG slaps u dan how can u not like vegimite and we lived together and i still didnt know that lmao

hehe it's ok . i wuv vegemite .. it's like rad n stuff. but . only in small doses. :D

Aussie Pride!!

The Sydney Olympic Opening Ceremony is STILL the best opening ceremony, ever!

But my god, what the freakin hell was our team wearing? HONESTLY!? How fugly do they want to look?

who cares. they're aussies. and they pwn all other countries. :D

Not even being Aussies can excuse them from that disaster! What the hell were the designers thinking!? I don't mind the green, but what the freaken hell is up with the stars? I've never seen the Southern Cross looking so horrible!

hahaha omg yes!!!
Roy summed it up nicely on The Dream if you ask me :p

i thought the opening ceremony was pretty neat, considering what i was expecting... but i watched the repeat of the Sydney Opening Ceremony earlier last night... and it pwned more ;)
I'd forgotten how good that steel tap dancing/bootmen thing was!!!

I was watching bits and peices of The Dream tonight, so I missed what Roy said... :(

I watched the Sydney Opening Ceremony a few weeks ago... the whole thing was brilliant. I loved the sheep in the boxes... ahahha!

I Still Call Australia Home - Peter Allen

I've been to cities that never close down,
from New York to Rio and old London town,
but no matter how far or how wide I roam,
I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelIing, I love being free,
and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea,
but my heart lies waiting over the foam,
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world,
away from their family and friends,
but as the world gets older and colder,
it's good to know where your journey ends.
Someday we'll all be together once more,
when all of the ships come back to the shore,
I’ll realise something I've always known,
I still call Australia home.

but no matter how far or wide I roam,
I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home.
but no matter how far or wide I roam,
I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home.

Did you watch the 200m Mens Freestyle race yesterday morning!? I was biting my nails... it was sooooo close. Go Thorpe! He really is fantastic, aside from what I think of him I can't deny the fact that he is awesome in the pool, and he looks like he swims so effortlessly. Thorpe Pwns.

I sure did watch it... my mum tapes it every night consistently and we watch it in the morning or when i get home.

I just want to re-inforce how hilarious Roy & H.G are. They were at there best tonight, i laughed so hard... like the ideas of how to get more people to the events, rofl!!!
I'm just so glad i've been taping that too.

Oh crap! I forgot to watch The Dream tonight. :(

I just love how they found a fossilized Fatso in Greece. LMFAO!

awwww shame, it was so funny last night though, they inducted(sp?) Thorpe as the LION OF ATHENS!!! they had a full ceremony and everything, twas funny. Then there was the usual taking the shit out of the Americans... roflmao, no one does it like they do. :p


god damnit the relay team was |-| close... he just needed a couple more metres :confused:

Relay team! Relay team! I MISSED THAT AS WELL! *cries*

Now, Roy and HG... I love how they are giving the guests a six-packet of Sorbent toilet paper! Honest to God, only Australians would do that. LMFAO!

mwahahahahah... so how bout those 2 gold medals already today :D
but omg Jana Pitman won her heat, I'm happy for her :)


We have the funniest comedians in the world
I went and saw Lano & Woodley live last night, and i've never laughed so hard, they are brilliant!!!

"Primary candidates for a spot on the podium include LAO and her Chinese teammate LI Ting, the Australian pair Loudy TOURKY and Chantelle NEWBERY, and defending Olympic champion Laura WILKINSON (USA)."

Tourky is first and Newbery is currently third in the Women 10m Platform Semifinal. Pwned. I watched some of the diving last night, and I didn't catch much of Newbery, but I know Tourky was doing brilliantly. I can't wait to see how they finish. I imagine they'll do beautifully if they keep it up. I hope so, at least!

Go Loudy!!

Go Chantelle!

:D

hahaha Chelle... you pwn :D

2 MORE GOLD!!!!!!!!!
mwahahahhahahahahahaahahahah
What a way to finish the swimming ay? ;)

Hah, we can switch any American to the greatness of Australia.

The only one we want is Chelle.

That is so true... and that is why i am so dissapointed with our 8 Women rowing team that were involved in that event... seriously, what they did to their team mate was mean and uncalled for, and definitely not part of the Aussie spirit.

The dissapointment itself in letting the team down would be enough to hurt for a lifetime, but them throwing disgusting remarks and threatening to tip her off the boat was just wrong. She was basically paralyzed... and the fact that would result in her drowning. Even if they didn't go through with the threat, it's still a disgusting thing to say.
I know they had a right to be dissapointed and even annoyed, but they certainly didn't go about it the right way.


ok didn't mean to put a damper on the whole Aussie Pride, but that just irked me so much :mad:

sooooooo how good was that diving medals... Gold and Bronze :D
and its good to see Jane Saville get Bronze after the dissapointment inn Sydney :)

It was uncalled for but I can understand their frustration at the time. As much as it's not the 'Aussie Spirit' to bag your mates, at the same time it's not the 'Aussie Spirit' to give in when the going gets tough. *shrugs*

I feel for her, I do. But I'd like to know why she was even on the team if you couldn't handle it.

Now, I have to post this because I think it's funny and oh so Australian....



In these troubled times, the Olympic Games loom as a healing balm.
At a time when the world is starving for the bread of hope, the bakery is being manned yet again by those pastry cooks of peace, Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson.

For two weeks this August, Australians can yet again live The Dream.
The Dream redefined Olympics coverage in Sydney (described by His Excellency Juan Antonio Samaranch as "the best Olympic Games ever"). Now, Roy Slaven and
H.G. Nelson have taken up the call to assemble with the world's youth in Athens (described by Slaven as "arguably Greece's most modern city").

"In 1974, I was quoted as saying that Athens is rapidly becoming a toilet looking for a flush button," says Slaven. "How wrong I was."

H.G. Nelson agrees. "I have been a big wrap for the Olympics in Athens for many, many years now," he says. "It is a dream come true to be packing down with Seven's coverage of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad this August. After all, many believe the Athens Games in 1896 were the best ever, and I am over the moon knowing that The Dream will be there when the big show returns to home base this year."

Broadcast live from The Sparta Club each day, The Dream in Athens will once again see Roy and H.G. interviewing athletes hot off the medal dais and unpicking the rich tapestry of the Olympic movement. As a bonus this time, their location and timezone means they can tackle the big sports as they happen live across the Olympic city, and solve the mysteries of an ancient land and its contribution to civilisation.

"While I love the old stuff - the plays, the philosophies, the concept of democracy etc, it's the new Greece that will astound people," says Roy Slaven. "Greece is a modern miracle and it's this miracle that The Dream will focus on."

H.G. Nelson adds: "As Brad Pitt said to me in a break in the filming of Troy,
'H.G., the Greeks are cool rocking dudes. From what I have seen so far, they know how to love, how to fight, and they are not afraid to party.' Coming from someone as switched on to the international scene as Brad is, that meant a lot to me.

"In homage to the original Games ethos, Roy and I will be performing in the nude with a nude audience, and given the estimated temperature of the city in August, this may be entirely appropriate."

The Dream in Athens will screen for one hour nightly at 11pm*, from Saturday, 14th August through to Sunday, 29th August.

I find it a little odd that a similar thing happened to one of the Canadian rowers in the men's eight final and no-one has mentioned it. The Canadian men were the gold medal favourites and ended up in fifth position. No public mud slinging happened between the Canadian rowers after that. I personally don't think it is something one has control over, so the 'giving up' thing erks me. Yes, she froze up in a race two years ago, but don't forget that some of her teammates had implored Robbins to start rowing again when she wanted to quit as a result of that event.

It's just sad to see all the public mud throwing. :(

Well that might be true but we're Australians, it's the Australian media, we don't know what goes on with althletes from other countries. And you talk about public mud throwing, most of that has been brought about or made worse by the media.

But I'd like to know why she was even on the team if you couldn't handle it. someone told me she passed out...i feel sorry for her, but i can understand the disappointment from the rest of the girls, but still, is winning more important then your team mate?? i have heard she has done it before...why is she on the olympic team for if she cant handle it??

Now it looks like the other girls are g
