skreamer 1 #1 April 16, 2002 Just got this in an email from an aussie mate :QuoteWE, the people of the broad brown land of Oz, wish to be recognised as afree nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional wanker.We come from many lands (although a few too many of us come from NewZealand) and although we live in the best country in the world, wereserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like.We are one nation but we're divided into many states.First, there's Victoria, named after a queen who didn't believe inlesbians.Victoria is the realm of Mossimo turtlenecks, cafe latte, grand final dayand big horse races.Its capital is Melbourne, whose chief marketing pitch is that it's"liveable".At least that's what they think. The rest of us think it is too bloodycold and wet.Next, there's NSW, the realm of pastel shorts, macchiato with sugar, thinbooks read quickly and millions of dancing queens. Its capital Sydney hasmore queens than any other city in the world and is proud of it.Its mascots are Bondi lifesavers who pull their Speedos up their cracksto keep the left and right sides of their brains separate.Down south we have Tasmania, a State based on the notion that the familythat bonks together stays together.In Tassie, everyone gets an extra chromosome at conception. Maps of theState bring smiles to the sternest faces.It holds the world record for a single mass shooting, which the Yankscan't seem to beat no matter how often they try.SA is the province of half decent reds, a festival of foreigners andbizarre axe murders.SA is the state of innovation - where else can you so effectively re-usecountry bank vaults and barrels as in Snowtown, just out of Adelaide(also named after a queen).They had the Grand Prix, but lost it when the Formula One drivers fellasleep at the wheel.WA is too far from anywhere to be relevant in this document. It's mainclaim to fame is that it doesn't have daylight saving because if it did allthe men would get erections on the bus on the way to work.WA was the last state to stop importing convicts and many of them stillwork there in the government and business.NT is the red heart of our land.Outback plains, sheep stations the size of Europe, kangaroos, jackaroos,emus, Uluru and dusty kids with big smiles.It also has the highest beer consumption of anywhere on the planet.Although the Territory is the centrepiece of our national culture, few ofus live there and the rest prefer to fly over it on our way to Bali.And there's Queensland.While any mention of God seems silly in a document defining a nation ofhalf-arsed agnostics, it is worth noting that God probably madeQueensland.Why he filled it with dickheads remains a mystery.We are united in our lust for international recognition, so desperate forpraise we leap in joy when a ragtag gaggle of corrupt IOC officials tellsus Sydney is better than Beijing.We want to make "no worries mate" our national phrase."She'll be right mate" our national attitude."Waltzing Matilda" our national anthem.We love sport so much our newsreaders can read the death toll from asailing race and still tell us who's winning.And we're the best in the world at all the sports that count, likecricket, netball, rugby, hockey, tennis, AFL, roo-shooting, two-up and horseracing.We shoot, we root, we vote.We are girt by sea and pissed by lunchtime.Oh yes and there's Canberra. The least said the better."Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
